Re: Chulux coffee maker

The reason we went with the Chulux was because of its size and where we wanted to store it. I can use it where it is and not have to move it to add water. We’ve used it a bunch of times, its great. We had our neighbors on the boat last weekend and I offered coffee at 1 in the afternoon, I was surprised my neighbors wife wanted, I was happy to use it, very convenient.

Re: What did you do to your boat today

@Dream_Inn , if I unscrew the plug on the top of the anti siphon tube, should water be coming out of there when the gen is running? I don't get any water out of there.

Update....Water is coming out of there now. Just did the airlock procedure with the screw on top of the exchanger.....we'll see what happens

Update....Ran the Gen for about 25 minutes and it didn't overheat so I should be all set now.

Re: Replacing Lenco trim tab switches with plain old rocker switches?

I just ordered the Lenco 15169-001 standard integrated tactile switches, illustrated in the post by YYZRC above. I also ordered the wiring for both tabs with Deutsch connectors. I believe I can do without the LEDs and auto retract because of these factors:

1) My boat is never trailered so leaving the tabs down isn't a problem.

2) I can't see the LEDs that well in bright sunlight.

3) When trimming out the boat level, I'm looking at the bow while pushing the switch, not the helm.

4) Same with going up on plane and retracting, fingers on switches, eyes on the bow.

I may find out something I'm not aware of, I realize that.

I'm looking forward to tidying up this rat's nest. Corrosion has eaten away two connectors for the port tab completely.

BTW, Lisa at Lenco is very helpful, she sent me a set of wiring diagrams.

Re: Show us your "Neat" gear!

Made an extension for my engine hatch piston. My 310 has a kick stand type of prop so I can set it on the prop and unpin the top pin retract the lift, add extension made from 3/4” heavy elect conduit re-pin and open up fully to allow easy access for working on the motors and generator
