Wasn't someone asking how the mirror comes off in the 248?

I took some photos today after I figured out how it came off. This may be similar to the 258 and 268 as well.

To remove the mirror, lift the whole assembly straight up untill it comes off the retainers.

on my 258 it comes off in the same way.
Brett referring to your post of the discharge valve for black water, yesterday I made a trial: I took the black water discharge valve (into the engine compartment) opened while boating - at any speed, all the day.

I'm still here... :D ...the 258 didn't sink. Clearly before leaving the marina and the boat unattended for the full week I closed the valve. (unassembling the sun bed, removing the carpet, opening the compartment, entering the compartment, getting dirty, closing the compartment, ......... :x )

Oscar,

Do you mean the overboard discharge valve? (the BIG Sea Cock) if so, do NOT drive the boat with it open! That is a big no no, Federal Crime I do beleive...

The "Raw water intake" marked as "Toilet Water" is the valve I am speaking of. It's a much smaller seacock and feeds the toilet with raw sea water. The big sea cock (1 3/4") is the discharge valve and MUST be locked or physically secured to prevent accidental opening. Opening a black water discharge valve on US waterways is illegal unless you are more than 3-5 miles off shore in the atlantic or pacific ocean. It's illegal to dump black water anywhere in the great lakes or any other inland lake system.

Just want to make sure we are on the same page here, I don't want to see anyone get in trouble with the coasties, the feds or the local boys.

Bren,

Don't pull on the port lid, it's threaded :) you twist the lid out and it's regular right handed threads.

hi Brett,
the intake of raw water for toilet it's not a trouble...I always keep it open while boating. The real trouble for me is the black water discharge: the big seacock in the engine compartment...in Italy its not a federal crime to discharge black water, clearly it's really very unpolite...but in case of need....if my daughter needs to piss and the black water tank is full she enters the lake and piss into the lake...I think that definitely the result is the same.... :lol:
