Mine is set up like Josh's with no mirror over the engine, but one to the port side of the aft cabin engine area.  However, the mirrors in the head are definitely glass, as one is cracked in one corner. In Tampa I find the A/C keeps up, but runs a lot to keep the interior comfortable. Bruce

Chris, As a general rule, diesels like to be worked. Keeping them at idle or low-RPM speeds is not good for them in the long run. I usually only keep the throttle down when shifting in and out of neutral or if I need to go slow in a channel, coming into a dock. or picking up a mooring. All

I have had 0 problems with mine since about 1987. The hose and seal were swapped out in 2014 I think while the shaft was out as preventative maintenance. That apparently should have been done in 1994! Anyway, modern Teflon packing has made the conventional stuffing box pretty easy to deal with.

Sounds like lots of air in the Hot Water Tank to me, which drives hot water backwards out of the tank into the cold water lines when you turn the cold tap on. I'd think you should be able to blead the air out through the new blo-off valve as it should be the highest thing on the tank. Did you

Glenn — you can turn down the brightness using the power button; this works well for nighttime use. But yes, you’re correct, they don’t have a specific night color scheme. I don’t think the Lighthouse charts are going to be as good in Canadian waters as the Navionics+ North America charts. —
