Post Countertops on Model 570


We have black granite and and experience lots of fingerprints. Not sure what type of coating may have been applied. Currently, use a windex-type product to clean. Have previously used a stone and granite cleaner which made it worse. Anyone else having the same issues? Looking for cleaner suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Post Pre Filtering City/Pedestal Water


Sometimes pedestal water has some funny plastic taste to it, although I have a filtration system on board no harm in putting in better stuff when filling/using water from the source. Came across this which is similar to the RV stuff and thought it might interest others. Going to buy a 2 pack, one for the permanent pedestal hose and another for my travel hose. Chuck them after the season is over. Same product is available on Amazon US by the way.

Post 1987 3607,ref question


Is the primay supply to the ref from the 12v or 110v when both are on? I have been told not to leave the 12v breaker on when at dock with shore power on or when the gen is running because the 12v is the primary and the ref is running off the battery.

Post New Twist on AC Winterizing


As we all know winterizing the AC can be a B. I usually do it in the water so I can activate the AC pump as on shore I have no access power.

AC pumps are not self priming and therefor you can blow or run fluid past the gears/vanes without any pressure. I just bought one of these https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DM3SJPT/ref=dp_cerb_1 Which I will insert into a 2 1/2g wide mouth pink stuff container. The other end gets connected to my strainer cap adapter. It comes with long leads and a switch on the le ...

Post 3867 Santego Breaker Panel Lights


Well, I finally tired of looking at my circuit breaker panel and seeing all of the panel indicators not working. So after locating a spec sheet for Solico (Sorenson Lighted Controls) I determined what I needed and what I wanted. The original panel lights for the DC side were part # 1835-1-10-20140 or 18 series 14volt incandescent -6' wire leads - white base with no finished bezel - flush translucent green lens and the AC side were 1850-1-10-20140, same as above but 125 volt neon. Here is one o ...
