Nicely done! I do find the location a bit annoying the way people's legs block line of sight!

P323 / Re: Cockpit drains

I assume you are on the hard. Why do you shut the seacocks rather than let the cockpit drain?

Electrical Systems & Electronics / Re: Shorepower inlet.

I still have the original Newmar BRE38 panel. I plugged in to shore power to charge batteries while on the hard and am getting reverse polarity on two out the 4 individual breakers. Going with this ELCI upgrade is more than I want to tackle.   I'm hoping to either find replacement breakers or a complete panel. Anyone with this experience?

Pearson Powerboats / Swim ladder for Pearson True North 33 (inboard engine model)

« Last post by KIPearson34 on February 20, 2026, 03:25:59 PM »

 Hi,
New to the forum. I am the new owner of a 2006 Pearson True North 33 (inboard engine model). The prior owner misplaced the swim ladder. I understand the ladder inserts into the transom (directly below the transom doors). Does anyone know where I could source a replacement ladder? Any leads or ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

Steering System, Hull Structure / Rudder Reference Sensor

Hello all,

I’m installing a new raymarine autopilot system. I have everything set up, I just can’t determine the best way to mount the rudder reference sensor on my 39-2. Any advice would be appreciated if you’ve done it before. Thank you!
