Re: Anchor roller installation

What year is your boat? The early models (like mine) had an access panel above the v berth. They got rid of that in later years. If you have that access panel, you're golden. If not... You will have to punch some holes or make a panel yourself.

I see... good thing i'm putting it back. I needed the space to work, it was always in the way.
Ok, the support is re-installed! There is a picture in the mod section. Again, thanks Don T and WHRoeder for the info.

Here's a link for the water heater. The water can get REALLY hot! Enough to burn you on highest setting. Nice quality, great reviews, cheap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmqAM6azSm8 Amazon:https://www.amazon.ca/Eccotemp-L5-Portable-Tankless-Outdoor/dp/B000TXOJQ4/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qi...

Re: My new mods.

Hello, I noticed you removed the deck support tube. Has that softened the deck when walking above? can you feel it give way under your weight? Haven't noticed any difference. it's going back up soon, but a bit off it's original location. I'll be honest, i thought it was a hand rail for going in and...

Re: My new mods.

Some clarification: The burner is an Origo alcohol stove. The galley doors slide. The portable water heater is hung on the door out of the way. When we take a shower, we hang it in the cockpit with the propane bottle. It's designed to be portable. We pull the water hose from behind the step. Everyth...

Re: Boat Water System

I just finalized my system. I have hot water on demand and collapsible water bags with quick disconnect fittings. I use a valve and i can pump water right out of the lake and that gives me hot showers til i empty the lake. The water in the lakes here in BC is fantastic for that. You have an interest...

Re: Honda BF50 Idle Problem

Check for a broken/bad PCV valve.It will cause the idle to be erratic on the high side. But it's only one possible problem out of a lot of possibilities. Always Go from the easiest to the more complicated when you troubleshoot. Do not put an aftermarket PCV valve on a Honda. Only OEM. Anyway, check ...
