Galley Lights

Forums: 

I have a 2014 13'
I’ve been having trouble with the double light over the galley. A couple of months after I got her, the light started having trouble. First it wouldn’t come on right away; would wait a while, then come on. Gradually that “while” got longer and longer, so that now it doesn’t come on at all.

Dexter E-Z Lube spindle/axles

Forums: 

Hi, I was wondering how many have had a lot of experience with the E-Z Lube system of the spindle/axles... I hear that they leak out of the rear seal and I've heard from others they are great and they hadn't have any problems.. Something to remember, these are NOT Buddy Bearings!!! The Buddy Bearing system simply pushes grease through the first bearing, etc... I do know that with Buddy Bearings, if you push hard enough with the grease gun, you can blow the rear seal simply because of the pressure and that it has no place to go but out the rear seal...

Roof Rivet Replacement

Forums: 

I noticed two acorn nuts at the top of the clothes closet were loose and I could move them up and down. So I inspected them on the roof and could pull them up about an eighth of an inch. I know water could get in if I were to be in the rain. So I removed the rivets and replaced them with #10-24 x 1" Stainless steel machine screws. The rivets from the factory use acorn nuts as bucking. Photo #1 shows the location of the two rivets and photo #2 is a close up to show that rivets used were too long to snug up.
