    Refresh to Dash Project

    I have a Four Winns H210 …. and have never been happy with the dash. There was a sunglasses tray in the centre, and no dedicated depth guage .. and the inbuilt depth gauge on the Rev Counter was too small to be used when underway. So I added a depth Trax depth gauge, with an adjustable depth...

    Corrosion - degradation on shiny surfaces

    Annoying this is the whole bezel and trim panel for teh VP control was replaced 2 years ago - certainly not standing up to very limited use. Boat has only done 75 Hrs and never moored.

    Corrosion - degradation on shiny surfaces

It's a plastic trim so its not chrome or stainless, same for the bezel on the dash guages. It has dotted...

    VP drive failed again ... 3rd replacement

    I have asked VP last year and they did not recommend any sprays. They have been very good at providing new drives …so don’t want to compromise any warranty position. it does seem logical to use something.

    VP drive failed again ... 3rd replacement

    Not aware of Boeshield, looked on line it says it leaves a wax like finish, you advising this as a one off job, or before each use ? Maybe similar to ‘Corrosion Block’. (Marine ver of ACF50) https://www.acf-50.eu/marine I have that, I could use.

    VP drive failed again ... 3rd replacement

    On both times it failed it started on the sharp corner where the bearing carrier is (as in picture) My question was if the large amount of stainless in the DP set up caused excess electrolytic issue. There was focus on the bonding, but all proved correct. I think the sharp corners had thin paint...

    I'll certainly be painting. Probably just file the notch smooth.
