Thanks for the photo. It really helps visualize the description. The forward bulkhead area on my Tomcat is built a little different, basically no wall to drill. But......it did give me an idea of mounting the switch next to my 12 Volt plug located in the seat structure, by the passengers...

Looking for some Advice I'm adding a center windshield wiper to the Tomcat. Adding this wiper gives me an opportunity. I'm interesting in giving the passenger side of the boat a switch on that side to control that wiper. I need help with where and how to locate and mount a switch in a...

Sad day as I gave up on fixing the stove myself and sent it to Scan Marine in Seattle. I used an EXCELLENT repair manual put together by someone on this website to check some of the basic normal problems. Look for the manual under the electrical forum, I believe. I had printed it previously...

I think the fuse you are referring to is the one on the circuit board. If it is, I've already checked it and it is good. Is that the same one you are referring to?? Thanks John

I called back and talked to Mike, the technician, at Scan Marine. I wanted to positively make sure it wasn't a fuel pump problem only. He told me I could disconnect the fuel pump from the stove and test it with a 12V battery. He had me jumper one one lead of it to a battery and then...

I need help from experienced Wallas self repair types. My Wallas 95D fuel pump quit pumping after I had been using the stove contiuously for approximately 6 days, Day and Night use. I called Scan Marine and he said to check the glow plug (I did, it is working GREAT) Then they said to tap the...

In my earlier post on this thread you will find a link to a article where the "fuel vent" I chose was tested and found to have the problems I am having. My problem isn't trying to figure out why fuel is spraying out around the nozzle, I was just trying to share some info about a crappy product...

I was never looking for something that would allow me to walk away from an unattended fueling. I just needed a venting system that doesn't admit water into the fuel system. I chose the above vent because it claimed to not dribble fuel out of the vent when the tank was full as a bonus...

Thought I would revive this thread, because the problem is not completely resolved. I don't think I'm getting any new water now, BUT........this new Attwood vent SUCKS! It was supposed to make the automatic fuel pumps shut off when the tanks were full. Instead fuel comes erupting out from...

I know, I know I've spent more time discussing this project than it should have taken me to complete it. But one more question. I found a good source for those threaded inserts www.mcfeelys.com I was going to try some of these inserts without epoxy first. I have multiple thread type choices...

Bob, I would assume my last post didn't make sense to you after all the bolt embedding advice you had given. But.......if you look at the time posted you'll see we posted about 5 minutes apart from each other and I hadn't seen your post before I published mine. Kind of interesting. THANK...

Maybe I'm just kind of dumb but............. The toilet is held down with self tapping lag bolts. Doesn't the epoxy get too hard to tap a lag bolt into it??? Or does the filler soften up the epoxy mix and make it give to a self tapping bolt? Sorry I'm not getting it yet, but I want too :)...

Tim, I like the round one you posted, but after I started this original thread I started acquiring the Ladner brand collapsible traps. They are sold at Seattle Marine (seamar) have you seen them yet?? I now have two of them and I won't have a chance to test them until June. Thanks for the...

Ryder, Once the hole is filled with a hardened epoxy how do I go about reattaching my marine head to it??? Thanks for reviving this thread, I had put this project on a back burner when the responses dried up. Thanks, John

I'm not real familiar with expoxy and fillers, so.......if I drill out the holes and use epoxy and filler should I assume I will then drill a hole into the filler and just tighen my old stainless lag screws into the hole making threads as I go? I have no epoxy or filler on the shelf at all...

Bob, can you help on the "medum density filler" I'm not sure exactly what that is. I searched it in Google and I pretty much got referred back to posts with your reference to it. :) Any particular reason to use 4200 rather than 5200 is that is what I have on hand? Thanks for your advice

We noticed the head was kind of loose this summer. You kind of rocked around a bit while seated. Recently I went to tighten the bolts holding it down and found the holes were stripped. They were stainless lag bolts that appeared to go into a wood core. So.......what are my choices for a fix...

I was watching a bear documentary last night that I had recorded previously, it was "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" and a 1000# Brown bear was digging clams and then carefully holding them down with his claws and prying them open only eating the meat. Pretty incredible to watch.

Thanks for the response guys. Yes, my BF90's call for a motor oil and gear oil change every 100 hours. By the time we start this journey we will have about 40-50 hours since the last change from our May PWS cruise. It sounds like the best bet is to start this trip on a fresh lube job. I...

This question is for the serious long range, multi-day cruisers. We will be cruising the Northern half of the inside passage next year starting out in Haines. I may be due an oil change while underway on my twin Honda BF90's. So....how is it done. Changing oil on my Honda's makes a mess...
