Electrical Systems & Electronics / Interior light wires
« on: August 25, 2022, 11:57:38 AM »
I am going to replace the interior lights with some led units. When removing the old lights, I can tug on the wires and not necessarily see it tugging the adjoining light’s wires. How is the house lighting wires routed?

I have the original round, lid to frame gaskets on my Bomar deck hatches. Is the Pompanette gasket the only way to go, or has someone found a substitute? If pompanette only show in town, where do i get my best price?

Dolce Vita, bought an Inkbird thermostat. The thermostat from the Adler Barbour system has a two part wire, I'm assuming positive and negative from the main unit. Likely power. The Inkbird unit calls for 12 volt power, the sensor hook up, and then a pair of wires for cooling. Sensor hookup straight forward. The Adler Barbour wire to the power hook up or the cooling? Or does it go to cooling and I need to run a new power lead to that hookup? If I do that, I could be running 12v into the Inkbird at two spots. What did you do?

Standing & Running Rigging and Fitting/Tuning / Re: Rope Halyard

I did get the answer I was looking for. Last spring I replaced the sheaves as the wire portion of the halyard had dug a groove in the metal and got jammed. New sheaves can be used with either wire or rope. I'm electing to go with rope to avoid the metal on metal wear.

I've had my 323 for 18 seasons. I have an Adler Barbour fridge. Any suggestions for bolt out bolt in replacement thermostat. Also, effective way of sealing lid to counter joint. I've tried the adhesive rubber door insulation to no avail. Looking for end all.

I have a normal dodger. I have a Bimini that zips to the back edge of dodger. It has a sleeve at the rear the I slide a stainless rod through, keeping the rod aft of the rear shroud. Have an acrylic window in rear of Bimini so if it is up while sailing, I can view the vane at the masthead. I also have zippers running the length of the three sides of the Bimini that I can zip panels on to. These panels extend down to the lower life line. In a downpour I can sail and keep pretty dry underneath.

I've been thinking of doing the same. What is the prep necessary to make sure varnish goes on properly? And if wood is washed out in some areas, does teak oil remedy that and then does varnish stick to teak oil?

That is the throttle. Mine was a cable off other end that went to Edson pedestal. Yours looks like a back up cable going the other direction. My choke is the red button you push down to start. Piece you look to replace is similar to a cable extender I bought for my 73 VW Beetle. Empi part but guess any good part store will have it.

Still have it. Got a picture of what you need?
