Just received a new Guest Battery Charger Model 2621A from Guest. Sent them a service request to see what it would cost me to fix the unit, as it was a $379 for a new one. Told them how long I used it and even though it was technically out of warrantee, they replaced it for no charge. I sent...

The unit just arrived. Brand New. These Guest guys are great as my unit was also out of warrantee and it was $379 for a replacement. I would still contact them and give it a shot. Just go to the Guest site, select service and fill out a request. Jim

I had a 2621A charger fail on me. See this C-Brats link: www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=16166. I contacted Guest and they seems to be replacing it under warrantee, even though it is in a new 2007 boat I bought in 2008. I also had used it very little, maybe 4-5 weeks in the last 3 years. I...

I actually like these Piranha composite props. They seem to cost about the same or less than aluminum, you can change out the pitch and then send the ones that don’t work with you setup back. If you dig a prop, you can replace the blade for $25 and they are so light you really are not too out of...

Well I decided to try doing the job as I was pulling the boat out anyway until next month. I was not able to reach down with my finger or a tool to displace the remaining chain and/or reattach the current chain. I had to go the “remove the whole fitting” route. It actually only took me about...

There probably are as many or more multiple filler necks with these boats, as there were builders. I like Chuck’s idea and depending on my fingers or some type of screw driver or rod I may be able to pop the remaining chain out of the clasp. Then try to hold the remaining chain in place, pull...

Thanks to all. Well this sounds like a wait to after summer or till I loose the gas cap project. I will let everone know how it goes, depending on when a get bored and need an additional project to work on. Jim

Hi, I just I just looked down the hole and the way my cap mechanism seems to work is there is a screw (it’s still there as I can now see I broke the chain at the bottom end) that screws in from the outside and attaches to some type of clasp that holds the chain. So it looks like I have to...

Guys, having a great week with boat issues. Anyone ever have to reattach the chain on the Starboard gas cap? I either broke it off very close to its attachment point or pulled it out of where it is attached down the filler neck. Can I just remove the three screws the hold the filler to the desk...

Thanks Guys. I left my charger on for the month while i was away from my home. So maybe they the Guest chargers are OK, if you don't use them for an extended period of time. I did think about the wiring issue if I go with a different unit and will take that into account when I but the new one. Jim.

Hi, Dave, Yes i took the cover off and tested that I was getting 110V to the box. Then it's what i thought, its toast. These must not be the best units as if i used it 3 months in the last 4 years that would be a lot. Got any idea if Guest is really the best replacement unit, or should I just go...

Guys, I think by Guest Battery Charger Model 2621A is fried. It’s a 20 amp total, 10amp, 5amp, 5amp unit. There are no lights on the unit, it’s getting 110V power and that is all I can think to look at to determine whether it’s toast. I have checked all the DC outbound fuses and they look good...

Here is the Antenna I used for the radio. It was $23. sh4353 Shakespeare 4353 AM / FM On Glass Antenna The speakers I used for the radio were Poly-Planar MA840 Sub Compact Box Speakers. They were 2 for $49. They come in black and white. You can see a picture on the on my album. Jim

When I installed my stereo radio in the boat, I bought an antenna that was a rollout tape. I then just stuck it to the top of the shelf over the helm in the back and it works great. They should still be able to easy to find on the internet or maybe at Radio Shack. Works great and no holes to...

I have a Nexus card to travel between the USA and Canada and its well worth the $50 for 5 years. At airports you can jump ahead of the customs line and or use a machine that reads you irises and go right to collect your bags. You can also now use the card at most major airports in the USA for...

Thanks Scott as I'm back in the USA for the month, i'll have to wait till the end of June to try the try the "mixing it up and see what the color looks like" project. Otherwise i'll just leave it till later in the season and pick up everything at once to do the job. i'll then start on a smaller...

Thanks Guys for your comments and assistance. The clip is on the side(horizontal ) so I guess there is a chance of it running, but based on some other things I’m an reading, I think i can layer it up with several coats, while masking off any area’s that the gel coat may run into. I am...

Thanks Bob for the Info. What do you consider deep enough to use filler? I can see a black area in the crack and its maybe it’s a 16th of an inch deep.

Hi Guys. I've looked thru most of the topics on Gel Coat repair, but I just must be dumb and just don't understand the process for a small chip. I still have the cans of gel coat that the factory gave me with the boat, but I’m not sure whether I just need to stir it up and then inject or trowel...

Sorry guys I have been traveling and have not had a chance to respond and thank everyone for their comments. I'm starting to look at this Garmin 78SC as a possible unit. Anyone have any comments on it. Also will it have the maps for North East Canada on it, or do you think that will be an...
