Thanks Bob i was just curious,and Rick your right about plant 1,heck the grass is almost as tall as the building.

Plant 1 looks really old and decrepit - must still do some customer service or something out of there - seen some big Hydrasports and such there.

Probably using it for warranty work...

Hey Bob-
Any idea of the manufacturer of the 2 1/2" white plastic vent that's in the transom doorway of my Explorer? Can't seem to locate a replacement that's 2 1/2".
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Seems to me that the vent, which is most likely a Marine East product, was down-sized between then and now.  Post a pic, as the battery compartment vents we use are much smaller.  I'd like to see yours...

Ask and ye shall receive.

Hi Chris,
I believe that is where your fresh water shower spray is usually stored. it also had a plastic cover that snaped over it.

Chris,
That is not a vent, that is your transom shower holder, Shurflo, I'm sure.  If I was at work, I'd have you one in a heartbeat...but I'm not.  But look at Shurflo's website, and you may be able to get the part by itself, without having to buy the whole assembly.

BTW, where is the showerhead?

Ya got me. Probably in the PO's trash can. The water line is just lying in the bilge. I ASSumed it was running forward into the cuddy sink area. Never pulled on it to find out though. Maybe it's attached to the shower head! Found it on their site: http://www.shurflo.com/marine-products/ ... fault.html

May be that this specific part and many other discontinued's are a good fab opportunity for someone....Fabrique' en Chine?

Bob C, this could be something to look at, since you are now into other projects....and you have a comparative advantage/knowledge of all of the components of the product line.

An add-on to your other web endeavors.

May be (or maybe not) for you.  I'm just in sales.

But look at Sam's Marine. Old Hatt stuff has built an empire for Sam...

Bob's Marine?

I pulled on the line and there was a shower head on the other end! Got 'er cleaned up and now all I need is a replacement shower head holder. On another note: I was cleaning out the fishbox today and noticed there was a hole drilled in the bottom of the box very near the screen covering the pump outlet. What's up with that?

[seabob4]

Chris,
A lot of times, the hole for the pump discharge was drilled to high.  Therefore the valley below the discharge would always have standing water.  The additional hole drained that minimal amount of water.  If you want to plug it, put a good blob of 5200 over it, let it cure, and you'll be fine...

Yeah, that's what I figured. That could explain how the water was getting into my bilge and I couldn't figure where it was coming from.

Chris,
If you want it to look nice, put some tape over the hole on the topside, them reach in through the starboard bilge access door and fill the hole from the bottom side.  Let the 5200 kick, then peel the tape off.

I'd have to hire a monkey to do that. My arms aren't long enough to reach!

My bad...
