Agree with all recommendations. Have owned a boat with 6CTA motors for 15 years and they have never let me down. I had a friend with Sherwood...
Another vote for Aquamap. It’s a great compliment to my Garmin chartplotter.
FWIW ended up ordering a Vitrifrigo 8.1 cu/ft AC/DC replacement. Very little adjustment required in the cabinet. If all goes well (or not) I'll...
My Norcold DE0061 7 cubic foot refrigerator seems to have died over the winter. Haven't finished troubleshooting but it appears to be a bad...
I’ve owned a 928 (88 S4) for over 20 years. Was my daily driver for 10 years and now lives in the garage but gets out every other week. Great...
Mattawoman??
I have a Maxum 4600, which is similar to your Meridian. We have a fixed sunbrella shade that fits over a simple 1” set of stainless tubing....
I have the same engines and have used Rotella 15-40 for the last 1800 hrs without any issues.

We just finished part of this run. Chesapeake to Jacksonville and back. All inside with 46 sedan bridge w/4’ draft. The guidance mentioned...
My Mercury hypalon air bottom dinghy separated significantly along a seam. Although it’s still under warranty I’m considering an aluminum hull...
I’ve used both water and compressed air. The air definitely worked better, especially to get the pieces stuck in the hull intake. Plus the...
I've had a Maxum 4600 SCB for the past 10 years. Like Pascal says it's all in how well they were treated. Most of the 4600 SCB's came with...
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to discuss all these points with the yard.
Thanks... different mechs each time. Standard thread and generally they just lean on the wrench. I thought about the locking compound. Might...
Seems every time I have the boat pulled the starboard prop shaft nuts have backed off to the cotter pin. Shafts are 2" - props are 24" - and the...
Thanks all for the feedback. Most of our cruising is in the Chesapeake and future plans do not have us doing much more than ICW south to FL. As...
I've been driving a 46 Maxum w/450 Cummings for 7 years. Looking to upgrade and have been aboard 53/56 Carvers and 50 Azimuts. The Carver has...
Boat is a Maxum 46 SCB... unit replaced is in the salon. Self contained with a dedicated pump (doesn't share with fwd system). Steve
I just replaced a 12 year old Cruisair 16K with one of their new turbo models... it was a smaller footprint and the wiring mapped to the new unit...
