I noticed that when running, the a/c on my 53 MY seems to be loosing some efficiency... these days, instead of maintaining 75/76 deg in the salon (on the digital control) the system can't bring it down below78/79... I'm guessing it has to do with the amount of heat building up in the engine room...

I have a 1969 38C with original Cummins 555's. Just recently have developed an RPM flux in the port engine, not too noticeable at high RPM, but at low RPM it is enough to stall out the engine. Am hoping it's not the fuel pump, and perhaps just a restriction in the fuel supply or something related....

I couldn't find anything in the archives... Several 53MYs we have looked at have twin beds in the master stateroom. We want a center or atharwtships queen. I don't want to eliminate twin-bed boats that may otherwise meet our "requirements." Has anyone converted from twins to a queen? Is it...

Anybody had a 53MY shipped across country by truck? It sounds like a terrible idea to me with a huge potential for damage. Naturally I'd like to find a boat locally but I don't want to rule out any options. Thanks, MikeP

I have a 1966 41' Twin Cabin with the original Crowell Hydraulic steering. I want to put a new autopilot on the boat, but I need to know the RAM Capacity of the cylinder. The autopilot sizes range from 0-10cc. 10-14cc. and 14+cc. Does anyone know what the capacity for that original steering...

I have a 1979 43DC with the original Groco heads. While commissioning this Spring I noticed that the forward head pumps waste water out but no "flush" water is coming into the bowl. Any thoughts? The thru-hull is open. Thanks.

I want to put a good digital tank gauge set on all my tanks in my 1978 53MY. The Snake River "Accu8" looks good, but I don't know how to get the old gauge plugs out of my tanks. All diesel and water tanks have the same gauge plug which is a very large (about 2.5 in) bronze hex cap with a dished...

Well I decided to take the advice of many of you and rebuild the 454 crusaders in my 1985 32ft FB. The main reason is that I can salvage my season. The rebuilding job at a well known speed shop in my area, who also does work for many boat dealers in the are, has told me it will take two weeks and...

On my display,the main web page only lists the last 20 "pages" of posts. They only go back to 9/03. How the heck do I pull up earlier posts; I'd like to browse through them. I have done searches using a user name and it pulls up posts from well before that date. In general I've had very...

I was amazed when I tried a search on this subject that I did not come up with any posts, but here is my problem. Just purchased my 48 LRC and have discovered a nasty leak coming from the pilothouse rear window. Only leaks when the rain is blown into it and under high volume, but never the less...
