Re: Bow Pulpit

Thanks. I have a bow roller for my bruce anchor which I keep attached. So I don't think the attachment point at the bow would work. Plus I need some space for the retractable bowsprit.

I believe the water pressure on the brine output from the pressure vessel should be approx 800 psi. I don't know what the pressure should be after the pressure regulator/valve (that controls the...

Re: Side Portlight Leaking
