The running lights are working fine. The instruments are working fine. I have only had the boat for about 6 weeks, so I am not 100% sure which switch...
Don: The instrument lights are on the same switch as the running lights, but it has to be pretty dark for you to see if they are on. If the running lights are...
Don, I just figured out the Raymarine lighting issue just before I checked the blog (the button was the answer - thanks). This leaves the compass unlit (I...
Hello Don, I could not easily locate a replacement compass light. A string of red leds at the auto parts store, solder and glue. WahLah. Bill Don Hudson...

Ok, my bonehead move for April: I replaced the raw water pump impeller on the engine, went fine, took 20 minutes, no bandaids. Ran it, no leaks, done. The...
The O-Rings are a cheap replacable item anyway so the next time you take it apart you should have one available. In the meantime if it doesn't leak I shouldn't...
Ryan, The attachments were not able to be opened. Can you post it to the photos folder or email it to me at "sailorspud@..."? Thanks! Don ... #784). ......
Thanks, mine is the Danforth Constellation compass. I found online a place to order the light ($80!!!), I need to figure out how to disassemble the cover...
Don, before I spent $80 for a light, I'd try contacting ITT/Rule who now makes the Danforth. I had an issue with my original compass (1990), it leaked all the...
Hello Again, This is why I installed a red led in my Danforth Constellation. Mine leaked some fluid, too. It is fairly easy to replace lost fluid. I used...

Barb We love our 28 also but I agree with your comment about the tight quarters. Maybe 20 years ago it would've been ok but anymore. We've been considering a...
Guys, I'm in the same "boat" as both of you - 2005 28 MKII (Hull 764) with gelcoat issues. While polishing the boat, I noticed some cracks as well as voids...

I'll take a closer look at my boat when I get out next week. I'll give a call to my original dealer (fortunately only 3 hr drive away, now) to see what they...
