Noah, do you also drain the HX, so the LimeAway can advance throughout? Otherwise I would think it's just backed up in the hose?

Ricowr,
Over the winter I removed my OB to rebuild/repair. Thought I was in a Depco catalog but turned out to be an OB catalog lol! OB/Ingersoll Rand got back to my request for help and pointed me to Burt Process Co who cover the US Northeast. They had stock and were more interested in selling me a new one instead of rebuilding. I think they are in Ohio. Customer service at OB/IR may be able to point you to a more local distributor.
I ultimately called Depco and they were great! Did the rebuild, good pricing and customer service. Of course they are across the continent from you.
I too got my OB from Ken when I replaced my Sherwood, he provided the studs too!
Good luck,
Ed

Noah,
I've been contemplating a similar approach, but mounting the panel on the cabin top in front of mast. In that location maybe put the plug low on the mast and running the wire down the mast and exit in the bilge, assuming you are stepped there? Another option for the plug could be in the anchor locker and mount the panel on the foredeck?
I'll look forward to hearing what you decide to do!

I didn't intentionally avoid saying their age, I was more intent on understanding how uninstalled batteries could pass the hydrometer test and multimeter test one day and be totally dead the next. I wasn't even sure at the time of their age as my logs were on the boat and I was home.

Nope, never a problem

That was my question too Alex and reason for posting. They are old,8+ years, so I've gotten my moneys worth. Not going to get them tested Kevin. Don't want to haul them around any more than I have too. Getting new ones. Just waiting for my local battery distribution center to get a new shipment in from there distribution center. Should be Monday.

Ron, no as I mentioned, nothing works, volt meter on electric panel doesn't budge either. I'm getting new batteries. I'm more interested in how batteries can look good via hydrometer and multimeter one day and the next day be dead.

Hi all electrical engineer, I've got a mystery. My 2 6 volt and 1 12 volt batts all passed hydrometor test and showed 12.5 volts yesterday. Put them in my car last night, brought them to the boat today and installed the 6 volt ones first. Nothing, volt meter on panel showed nothing. Checked with my multimeter, nothing.
Tried the hydrometer and passed, fully charged
Checked the 12 volt batt sitting on thr cabin floor with multimeter. Nothing. 
Thoughts, before I go off and buy new ones?
Thanks

Holy $.,t! First I've heard of this. Thanks for the heads up Noah. Will have to investigate the detailed list.

Ron, Guido passed away a few years ago.

Might it also require some modification to your Bimini?
Also, years back when I was contemplating doing the same, Ron opined that it would change the angle of attachment to the tangs at the base and maybe affect their integrity.
I opted to leave as is and just swivel my body around the splits or limbo under them. Works ok, and I'm 6'5"

Scrap with a 1" flexible putty knife and spray the hard to reach area with a barnacle protection paint (Petit).

Tom, do you do a lot of downwind motoring? That's the only time I notice exhaust smell.
Good luck solving,
Ed

Maybe the Aurora deck protection system will work? The first 2 steps are a stripper and cleaner. Supposedly water based solvents. Contact them for more info.
Good luck,
Ed

P.S. unrelated, are you a brewer?
