We accidentally ran our fresh water system completely dry. After filling all the tanks, the pump does not shutoff immediately when faucets are close, but will...
You probably have air near an outlet. You will need let all of the fawcets run in order to purge. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From:...
Mt CM 38cc has three water tanks. The signal that it's time to switch tanks is that the tank you are on runs dry and the pump doesn't shut off. So air in the...
Hi Group; Just learned that SAIL Magazine will publish an article about how we coped with lightning damage during our return trip from then Dominican...
Hey Steve - congrats and good stuff. It will be interesting to read that!!! If you look in this months (Sept just out) SAIL on p40, there is an article on my...
I checked the output of the alternator and found that the voltage meter showed nothing. Just bought a rebuilt one. The shop where I bought the rebuilt...
Even though WD40 does not use propane as the propellant anymore, you should not spray ANYTHING where there is sparking or open flame. Bob '94 Cat-Morgan...
Thanks for the ideas. I have run all the faucets for a long time. The system still sputers and won't turn completely off. I wonder if the pump was damaged when...
Are you getting a strong flow of water when you run it? If so the pump is probably OK. The fact that it does eventually turn off should mean the pressure...
Hi Dave, It sounds like you are sucking air on the input side. Make sure that only one source tank valve is open and the others are completely closed. Fair...
My pump tends to run longer when the active water tank(s) have low volume. I agree that you can do damage to the pump if you run it dry for too long and I...
I agree with the other responses. I have run my pump dry literally for hours and not hurt it. (That happened when I had a small leak, and the tank ran dry...
Please forgive me for sounding a little pompous here. But, why would you leave your boat with anything other than the refrigerator turned on. Especially...
Has anyone had problems with this problem with a furling mast? I've had a rigger tune my rig twice now. The second time taking 4" out of the back stay. Even...
When you live aboard full time, you don't close every thru-hull and turn off every switch like you might if you were leaving the boat after a weekend. Since I...
It has been a while since I have seen any mention of the galss rack for the 380/387. I e mailed Warren Paddy twice and have not heard from him. Has anyone...
All, I have had similar problems with my system until recently. I concur with the comments already made that the pump is sucking air from some where. If you...
I have the same problem with the whale pump, so I have the valve to it shut off. Whale makes an inline one-way check valve for the 15mm system, I was thinking...

I don't know if it is a common problem, but it was a problem for me. I had the rigger take about 5 inches off the backs, put a back stay tensioner on the...
Mike, I am going to install mine this weekend. The Garhauer distributor here suggests either 6mm spectra or 8mm double-braided line. Any particular reason why...
Edward, I would suggest the bigger line because it has a better hand. ( Which means it is easier to grip). The 6mm is just too small. Also recommend double...
Edward, I just installed my Garhauer Car System this week. I received a diagram from Garhauer that I sent to you directly. I made a loop splice on the end of...
I have the end of the control line tied to the back of the car to draw it aft as necessary. I have a loop at the cockpit. Works well and means only 1 line....
