Bill,
What type silicone did you use? I have just found a small leak and used a West Marine silicone product for a temporary fix.
Thanks,
Richard

Re: Galley Seacock
Ken, I read the article you referenced while I was doing some research last week. The article did make me a little nervous. It would have been helpful to have been able to read about a more successful replacement. I also talked with Forespar (company that makes the Marelon seacocks). They were very ...

Galley Seacock
Has anyone changed the O-ring in the handle of the galley seacock? I have a small drip which appears to be coming from the bottom of the handle. I have spoken with Forespar and have received an O-ring replacement. Conversations with Forespar and instructions for installation indicate a simple change...

Re: Rudder 'play' question
Just had R Boat hauled for bottom paint. I have about 1/4" play in the rudder. The boatyard suggested re-packing the rudder post. I have not seen any posts concerning re-packing. Has anyone done this?

Re: Micro Wave oven
Hans,
There is an article in the May, 2010 "Mainsheet" that details (with pictures) what we did to replace our microwave.

Re: Mystery leak aft cabin
The problem might be condensation. We purchased a product called Ventair to help protect the mattresses. Defender sells something similar--HyperVent. It is 39 inches wide and is sold by the yard. We pieced together pieces to completely cover the area under our mattresses. During the cooler months (W...

Re: Honda 2000i
As I promised, I tested our Honda generator to heat water this past week end. The generator does load up somewhat but does run the water heater without tripping a breaker. The water heater was the only item being run. Hope this helps.

Re: Honda 2000i
I have not needed the Honda to heat water but suspect that it will. May give it a try in a couple of weeks, if so, will make a post.

Re: Honda 2000i
I have used the Honda 2000i for about four years. Does excellent job on batteries and other small appliances (microwave). Quiet and good fuel economy.

Re: sherwood waterpump
Hans, I installed my second pump last week. I used a 10mm box end wrench. When it was as tight as I could get it by hand, (with the wrench on the bolt) I tapped the end of the wrench lightly a couple of times with a small ball peen hammer to tighten more . Didn't use too much force to cause damage. ...

I recently had the same problem while cruising in FL. You will need to replace the Intake Impeller. You can order one from the Thetford Corp or give West Marine the part number (#37495) and they will order it for you. A bit of a job to replace.
