Re: Obsolete Sherwood dual pocket CW pump

The D65 pumps are discontinued, but the D60 is still available. I probably have a good used one in stock.

Re: How many $$ to have marine generator inatalled

Re: Wow ! What a project

If I was at a different point in my life I would jump all over that. It would be a perfect start for a 37 express with diesels.

Re: Bridge gauges

I have mine wired with standard 5 pin relays separating upper and lower helm. The ignition always is turned on at lower helm. It can be started from upper or lower. The relay allows me to shut off and restart from the upper helm. But the main ignition is always killed or turned on at lower. This is ...
