I finally got around to changing the compressor oil on both engines, in my 2012 45. I believe the recommended interval is every 5 years. I suspect this might be one of those items that gets inadvertently neglected, for some. It took about 1.5 - 2 hours. I could not locate the drain nut, so I...

Has anyone removed their coolant from the 11.5 aboard their 45? Mine is on a 2012, and the book shows an engine block drain plug just to the left of the oil filter, which I do not see. Is this the best way to remove the coolant, is there an easier way? Would be helpful to get any other tips/...

Has anyone tried to replace their own anode on the 11.5 generator? In the manual, it appears to be very easily accessible, but on the boat, it?s not at all easily accessible. I was hoping someone who has done this, might have a tip or trick to getting in there. I?m thinking it?s going to be...

Has anyone experienced SEAKEEPER on a 45? I have always been intrigued by the idea, and wanted to check here to see if anyone had firsthand knowledge of how much better the ride is, in various sea conditions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone have any experience for best method to get up on top of the hardtop? I need to replace the anchor light cover, and would like to get the remaining areas for waxing that I can?t get to otherwise. Also the glomex could use a good cleaning. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After several attempts to seal the skylights and stop the leaking, I decided it was time to consider a permanent fix. So, I?m having them fiberglassed over. I will post finished pics later, but here is an in progress shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This app has been very helpful as a backup, for peace of mind. This season, I created a new Auto route, and noticed defined/numbered waypoints are no longer created. Has anyone else noticed this, is there a way to turn them on? All of my routes previously created still have the numbered...

Clarion head unit works and sound comes through on Saloon. But, not one speaker working in the cockpit! Where?s the first place to look?

Hello all, this is aft of the generator, under the flip up step, under the ladder. There are multiple drains, into this. Anyone know what drains into this compartment? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know where the connection point for the FLIR is, is it under one of the 2 overhead panels in the aft cockpit. Any idea which one, if yes and how easy is it to remove the panel? 2012 45 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are 2 ceiling fixtures in the guest stateroom, controlled by the top/1st of 3 switches on the panel next to the door. For a couple of months, the lights would turn on, but only after several attempts. Now, the lights just won't come on. I don't think it's both bulbs. But, I did remove...
