Thanks, Dennis. Sounds suitably awful! What a waste of bacon.

My +30 year old Danforth is filled with mineral oil, at least that's
what the gentleman said he filled it with when I had it repaired a few

I tried the Toronto Bucket Method today. Nice to have that option. It works. It
is environmentally friendly since it captures antifreeze escaping the exhaust.
My marina hauled my boat today, but the water was turned off everywhere because
of the risk of freezeup for the last few weeks. It works
Don got me thinking and is absolutely correct. I misread the Ritchie
information and said the compasses contained alcohol. Wrong. Apparently Ritchie
compasses are now filled with Isopar L, a "synthetic isoparaffinic hydrocarbon

John,
I used a Vernalift. They are available in a large number of sizes and
inlet/outlet combinations. I used a 2 inlet and outlet version. I run 2
hose all the way to the transom before adapting it down to the 1 ½

More expensive compasses tend to use a mineral oil for greater dampening.
The risk of getting a strong alternating magnetic field close to anything
that is magnetized is that you could degauss it.
But the field has to be strong and close so I suspect that 2M should be
fine.

Having read the responses to the thread I started, I forgot to mention that I
had my boat active from 2001 to 2006 and the compass worked wonderfully despite
a small bubble which remained the same size throughout. That has now
disappeared.

I have the Sherwood pump which has an impellor with 16 blades (I think
16). Three bolts hold the front cover on but the nuts for these are aft
facing the engine so it's a bit difficult to get at them. First spread

I use flexible vane pumps by jabsco at work all the time. They self prime

think it was probably flooded by the time I released the decompression

Hi Josh- I would have been worried about blowing out the lines because of the issue of whether the system can generate sufficient suction to pull water back through the system when there is nothing in the pump. It is a water pump after all, not an air pump. I guess the answer is that it works and
Hi Bob.
Hmm. Not sure how our weather would be hard on seals unless they were made of
inferior material. Perhaps, if the compass was really old, they might be made
of rubber which can perish. Ideally everything can come out of the cold and
hide indoors over the winter, humans included.

John,
Will a Vernalift 1500210 fit? It's 2 inch side inlet and 1.5 top outlet but a
larger diameter and base.
If not, go with the Vernalift and a fiberglass reducer. Centek also makes the
reducers. They're about $25.
The reason the outlet can be smaller is the exhaust gases get cooled down

Rich:
The gentleman (Captain) you recommended to me about 5 years ago to

Not sure why but I didn't listen to him and leave the compass on the boat.
