Re: Water supply

Long showers are OK, but with a 6 gal hot water heater, I think you might be looking at a Long Cold Shower. BTW the Fresh Water tank on Vita Bella is 80 gal. Per the manual.

Sandy

I had someone kick the vent cover off my boat, and found a replacement off the shelf at West Marine. Slid the new one on with a bit of clear silicone, all better.

Re: new owner with questions

We too have foam memory pads on the berths. They make a significant differance. No problem
With access. Mine want to crawl down the berth, need to reposition them when making the beds, but well worth the effort and cost.

Re: Front Window Retrofit

J While I have the opening front window, I have only had it open once or twice. I have Diamond Seaglaze windows, and PDQ did not install a phantom screen on the window. They changed to DSG just prior to the implosion, and had not figured out how to put the screen on the new window configuration. Lon...

Re: sink drain strainers

Had to have a tooth paste top removed, bought a scteen type strainer at Ace Hardware. Fits perfectly. Great $1.89 investment! Does get dirty, but what doesn't in the head.

Serial # in hull

I am looking to find where the serial numbers are molded into the boat. I know that they are supposed to be on the Starboard transome, but I am having a heck of a time finding them.

Any ideas?

Re: ACCUMULATOR?

Just got off the phone with ShurFlo, The Tech Support folks advised to get rid of a variable speed pump, install a simpler pump with an accumulator. I guess I have nothing to loose, have had fresh water pump problems since leaving the factory in 2007.

Re: ACCUMULATOR?

i went to a 4GPM Pump at the suggestion of the Shurflow factory. I now want to increase the pressure a bit and have been told that the accumulator is the way to go. I have a variable speed pump, do they work OK with accumulators?

ACCUMULATOR?

Has anyone added an Accumulator to the fresh water system. I am thinking about it and wonder of there are hidden problems or just benefits.
