Lisle, Yes the batteries sit atop the holding tank, which is no longer in use, as I have installed an Airhead composting toilet; which freed up the wet locker behind the head for the new distribution

Thanks Daryl. Very nice work. The batteries sit atop the holding tank? Lisle

After removing the TIE WRAPS, I was able to get enough slack to remove the old 1/ALL/2/OFF Switch, which has just 3 terminals. The new switch (Blue Seas 5511 E Series) has 4 terminals and provide dual

Wondering if anyone has replaced their battery switch (1, 2, BOTH, OFF ) Intuition has a PERKO - located outside the head in the quarter berth area ( probably standard wiring for most PSC 31's). The

Bill has a very well documented installation on the Dana forum and has been satisfied with the 1/2 starboard. Just ordered an 18 x 24 inch starboard, I will let you know what I think. Worst case, my

The job is not too difficult, just need a good hydraulic jack to lower the rudder shaft. The bronze fasteners came out easily and it was also a good time to re-bed the bronze gudgeons ; as well as

Lisle, NOTE: While changing the gland, the Factory also recommended swapping out the DELRIN bushings? at the top and bottom of the rudder shaft - they were definitely in need of replacement. I have

Wheel and full keel. I thought it was possible to lossen the nut and repack with new material, didn’t realize it would require substantial work you describe. Thanks, Lisle

There was a really good article on stranded wire used in non cramping terminal devices. Wire strands compress and then vibration causes the strands to shift and gradually loosen. A ferrule is a

I am also assuming you have wheel steering? Daryl

Those are the steps necessary to change the packing gland. It is the reverse order to reassemble. Do you have the deep keel or the Sheel keel? Boat has to be up high enough to drop the rudder. Daryl

Thanks Daryl, I just want to replace the packing material, not the entire assembly. Lisle

Jus an update on the alternator upgrade: I have purchased a Balmar? Series 60m dual foot, 100 AMP alternator (J10 Pulley)? with the Balmar 814 external regulator. Also purchased the Balmar/Altmount
