My port engine has developed a nasty habit of stalling when shifting the transmission. Occurs the worst possible times - like when maneuvering into a slip with a large group of onlookers. What's puzzling is that it only happens after a long run and the engines are hot. Idle is set at 550 rpm...

Wed AM I am craning my engines out and I will be prepping the bildge and inspecting the engine mounts. My mounts are original as far as I know. The bottom part of the mount, which is aluminum and attached to the stringers, is corroded but can be cleaned up. The upper part of the mount, which is...

I have single lever Morse controls aboard. One still operates smoothly, the other is pretty sticky. Anyone have experience with greasing? Is it necessary to completely remove/dissamble to do the job, or can it be done from under the flybridge? I also queried Teleflex Morse but would still...

The groco eb style head on my 32 sportfish refuses to work properly even after replacing the piping to the holding tank, rebuilding the pump, and doing every other thing I can think of to solve the problem. The head pump runs but will not evacuate any more than some liquid with what seems to me to...

I just inserted a project on the new project tracking list. Has anyone else tried it? Depending how it works, it may be a great tool. Thanks Ben and Tina "Size Matters"

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...
