Thanks for the info.  Ron, I did call the phone # you shared.  The phone works but no answer at the other end. I tried a few different times and also left a message.  Did find the the water strainer and bowl.  I also have the round o ring.
Thanks for the help.

Yes, but it was coming from the valve cover casket at the rear of the cover.  (after spending a few boat $$)  Hard to see but worth taking a good look at it.

Thanks Ron for the correction on the green light.

I replaced my green light last spring.  I was able to find them at West Marine and Amazon.  They are 8mm(5/16) will fit the hole in your panel.  West Marine took about 4 weeks to get the light.  Amazon had them to me in 2 days.  West Marine had the exact style that was in my panel.  Catalina did not carry this light due to age of my boat.

Update on raising the boom.  I can move the gooseneck up 5" and use the top holes for the bottom holes.  Spoke with the sailmaker and he wants to measure before I do anything.He wants to know how much room I have at the head of the sail.  I had already taken down the main and put away for the winter.  We will be doing this in the spring.  Had our first snow in western Michigan(10" in Muskegon).
Thanks for all the input and ideas.

Looking for a face plate for my Standard Horizon DS45.  Unit works great.  Will be happy to purchase and pay for shipping.  Face plate needs to be in good condition.
Thanks,

Gas here in western Michigan ranges from $3.43 to $3.77 on the same day but at different stations.  Last week one station had it as low as $3.31.  These are all within 4 miles of my residence.  Go figure!!

Holger,
How were you able to raise it 11" and still use the slot to get the main on the mast.   A pic would be helpful.

Thanks,
Paul

I would like to raise the boom about 6" so that it would not rub on my bimini and flatten it out more.
Has anyone done this?
Would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.

PS:  Cool Change returned from the North Channel just before Labor Day.  My wife and I spend 2 1/2 months in this wonderful area.

I checked my golf cart batteries last week.  I have 4 golf cart batteries, disconnected all of them.  Checked each cell with a hydrometer and also a volt meter.
Hope this is helpful
