A local DD dealer recommended the O-ring sealed fuel pipes to replace the flared tube design fuel pipes. Is this a DY project. Do you have to do a comlete engine tune-up after installing new pipes? Any other thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Passages got splashed today :) but found a problem on the raw water side of my port 6-71. :mad: The little spigot valve for draining raw water from the exit flange of the expansion tank (follow that?) is blowing water. I suspect when I boiled out my raw water system this winter, I unwittingly...

In response to the Ethanol/FRP compatibility situation, I spent some time measuring the dimensions of the fuel tanks in my 38’ DCMY as a first step in replacing them later. They are under the single beds in the aft cabin, and not particularly accessible to measure except through a small port. -...

Hello, recently I took my hatt out for maiden voyage for the season. Boat has 2 x VT-8 370's w/ forward & aft tank and a fuel polishing system. It ran perfectly the whole trip...about 1 1/2 hours but when I pulled into marina I noticed fuel trickling out of breather to aft fuel tank. I shut...

Yesterday I was talking to a marina mechanic who was working on a 2Year old boat He was installing a fuel polishing system at the owner's request - total price $3000. He was also bemoaning the fact that he can't get some service info and parts he needs on the 2-year old electronically-controlled...

Looking for recommendations to replace the four batteries in the cranking battery bank (8Ds). Regrettably, the boat (brand new to me) is 600 miles away and I don't know what brand/model is currently in use. What I do know is that they are approx. 6 years old and most are bone dry. Based upon...

I saw pictures of your salon when you were building an A/C duct over the windows, but cant find them on your threads. I'm redoing the salon on my 1975 42 and am considering a duct over the window also. Could you please e-mail me pictures of you intallation? rufusm@elcoyote.com Thanks ...

Well, I didn't have the patience to wait for the new switches that I ordered online, so I stopped by Boaters World, and bought one more "el garbo" model so I could get my boating fix for the weekend. I replaced the "up" switch, and found that the one that failed had the bottom literally drop out...

I lost your e mail and finally found the info you requested : The sofa I used was the "Voyager" Model Nautical Enviroments West Berlin, NJ 1 856 767 5945 http://www.nauticalenvironments.com/

I just did some "brightwork" in the cockpit this weekend and was wondering what you guys use to seal the joint around the cockpit floor? Is there something that matches the color..cream-like or beige? I thought 5200 would be a little drastic for this application. Thanks, Jack
