  1. Engine Instrument Panel - Part 1

    E26-2 Engine Instrument Panel - Part 1

    Just another instrument panel refresh on a 37 year-old boat. There's plenty of postings from other folks around here to draw inspiration from. These are the steps leading up to installation on the boat. I set out for functionality and strength over beauty. I shared this vision with the...
  2. Inexpensive & Uncomplicated Binnacle Compass Light Upgrade

    E32-3 Inexpensive & Uncomplicated Binnacle Compass Light Upgrade

    One day I lifted off the cover from the compass on Rumour to look at the wheel brake mechanism. While I had it open I noticed there were two electrical leads completely disconnected and close to making contact. While it makes perfect sense I never thought there would be a compass light on the...

    Tricolor masthead wiring

    In the process of new standing rigging for the new-to-me E35 III we put in a new LED tri-color mast-head light to replace the just-barely existing incandescent fixture. The mast wiring was easy (ish) with the conduit and all, but there is no wire for the the running-lights part of the tricolor...

    Great little LED flashligts at CostCo

    These flashlights were 3 for under $12 at CostCo. O-rings at both ends, two brightness levels (4 or 14 LEDs on), run off 3 AA batteries. They feel really solid and are just under 6" long. -Sven

    LED dome lights

    This non-sailing weekend we installed some DR LED MARS LED (red-white) dome cabin lights at $71.99 ea. from Defender. We replaced the existing 5" dome lights and other than the cost we're quite impressed. The 3 watt LED puts out a lot of light and the fixture is barely noticeably warmed by...

    Cheap LED replacement for existing cabin fixtures

    I read the posts here and looked at fixture replacement as well as bulb replacement & decided to go a different route. The 9 LED strip I used is $13, guarenteed for life and draws .07 amp. It has the apparent luminosity of the two 10 watt incandecent bulbs it replaces (.833 amps *2) although...

    Converting ABI Nav Light from Zenon to LED

    Hello All, I thought I'd share this with you how to convert a 7 inch ABI Nav Dome Light from Zenon to LED. I did this just for the heck of it. I'll just decribe the photos... 1) Of course the bulb holder wouldn't line up for the Lunasea G4 6 LED Warm White bulb. 2) Had to drill an extra hole...

    Replacing 12v bulbs with LED

    Folks, Had anyone entertained an idea of replacing 12v bulbs with LED bulbs? If yes what was the brand and were there any issues? I am thinking of attacking running lights and mast lights first. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Simon

    Sensibulb LED's are excellent!

    I just did a side-by-side comparison between the standard incandescent fixture on my E38 and converting the same fixture to a Sensibulb LED from www.sailorssolutions.com I converted one of the three lights over the galley. The Sensibulb is brighter, slightly warmer in color and easy to...
