    Hey Dodge.

     

    I put in a V1 which is the only one that would fit under my hatch. I called Monterey and got the recommended part but that was discontinued by Lewmar. The V1 was the replacement. Call Lewmar before buying rope/chain and double and triple check. The spec sheet with the installation guide had incorrect information as to chain and rope size. I almost bought the wrong stuff. And no one at Lewmar cared it was wrong. In fact double check everything. I don't think there are many windlass installs out West (I'm in Montana) I had a ton of problems with parts, getting the right stuff, etc.

     

    Not sure if you've bought yet but West Marine matches internet pricing. I found a sweet price that they matched.

     

    Email me if you have any issues. I may not be real helpful but I can look at my install if you have any issues. hopper dropper at g mail dot com No spaces obviously.

    It may be time to look at replacing the rollers - ask M.O.S.T for manufacturer details.

    To check, when closing the door, try lightly lifting the door while closing it (or use 2 hands - one lightly lifting while other is sliding)

     

    The easy open / hard close is most likely due door to the door being "over square" i.e. tall and narrow

    When you open the door, the handle / catch position actually makes you 'lift' the door slightly, and therein take the pressure of the bad / sticky roller.

    Conversely, when you close the door, there is an effective 'downforce', placing additional load on the roller.

     

    I've got the same problem. Any luck with yours? Mine works fine with a good bit of lube for a week or so. I'll check out new rollers next year.

    I've got a 2007 250 CR. I went back and forth to hire it out or do it myself and finally got a decent bid (I thought) of $500 install. I went with that instead of the home garage install (won't fit in my garage). He had around 10 hours into it, so obviously underbid it. Its a tedious process and he said it was no fun. I don't want to dissuade but it is a big job. Good luck.

    I have a 2000 242 CR that has little plastic spot lights for lighting. How do you remove the bulbs on these lights? What bulbs are used in these types of lights?

     

    Are you talking about interior lights? I had replaced one interior light this year, I just took the bad bulb to Ace and matched it up. Not sure about yours but mine just "popped out". It was not a screw in type.
