Hi Mike - The cable run was pretty straight-forward, but did take a little bit of patience. I did pull the vent grill and possibly the circuit breaker panel facing to make the middle of the run...

If I had put everything in a box, it would have looked like this! One other suggestion though - I made sure to use white silicone to seal around the vent when I installed it. I also used a large...

Hi Marcucho -

I couldn't find part numbers since I used so many sources or spare parts on hand, but hopefully this will help. You didn't mention your boat model, but mine is a 1998 2800 SCR, so I...

This was easy, but took a little bit of time. You need to remove the exterior cover of the microwave. Create a basic 4-hole template (6-hole if you want to over-engineer it!) and then drill holes...

It has worked fine for me. It is possible the extra 10' of stainless rode contributed to the success, but I wouldn't know since I installed both at the same time. The stock fluke was ok before, but I...

This sounds like a bellows is due for replacement. As the rubber gets brittle, small cracks form and leak. I wouldn't wait long to pull the boat to trace this.
