I personnally suggest #4.

I than think there is a "elephant in the room" situation here.
The lack of any request for help in solving this problem from those in charge of our web site and this forum
coupled with the recent posting from Steve Kuhar on the Masthead is indicitive.
Everyone should read it.

robwm: Can you be more explicit as what you did to produce the "500" error and/or the white screen? In my experience (on Windows 10), hitting the refresh button after posting - then the "Resend" button - then the back arrow brings me back to board. Not the way it should be - but ...

This may be premature thinking: I asked here if anyone knew what company is hosting the forum - mention was made it may be InMotion Hosting. I went to the phpbb community forum (mentioned in my previous post), registered as a new user, and searched on "InMotion" The following post is of in...

I would expect the pump to be a diaphragm type.
I replaced the diaphragm and the check valves on ours after the pump got to the point of not working reliably in

It is an easy fix once the pump is out.

Arrived today in MA. Thanks very much - and also to the ladies.

A great boat to work on because it is a great boat to look at!

I asked the owner of the engine shop we use. His response: "oil pressure port is 1/8" npt and water is 1/2" npt". His contact info: Patrick J. Ricci, President Thomaston Boat & Engine Works, Inc. MAIL & SHIP TO ADDRESS, PARTS AND OPERATIONS LOCATION: Thomaston Boat and En...

Original traveler - vendor was Nicro.
Search on "mainsheet traveler" - you will find a lot of information. I sense owners prefer replacing the Nicro setup - and lean (perhaps) to Garhauer.
