    Kitchen Sink - Low pressure after the winter

    At the end of last season, I blew out the water lines. Now my kitchen sink faucet has very low pressure but the sprayer has its usual good pressure. All the other faucets on the boat have great water pressure. This ever happen to anyone else?

    Fresh water fill solenoid replacement part

    Does anyone know the part number for the Asco Red Hat II solenoid that's used for the fresh water fill? I took a picture of it but it came out too blurry to read the part numbers. The solenoid stopped working on me so I had it replaced w/ a ball valve thinking it wouldn't be that big of a...

    Westerbeke 11D - How much oil?

    Stupid me figured this out last year, but didn?t write it down. How much oil does the generator take for an oil change (with filter)? The manual says 4.3 US Gallons or 4.0 liters. Obviously one of those is wrong. (2011 45? Yacht)

    Anyone ever have a situation where their engine solenoids wouldn?t shut off? My parallel solenoid won?t energize or deenergize either. As I watch the colt meter when I start the engines it seems like the parallel is on, but the light on the switch isn?t. 2011 45 Yacht

Left the boat for a couple of days and went back today and the fridge wasn?t cooling in either 12v or 120v...
