  1. Maintenance free 8d batteries

    Anyone using maintenance free 8D batteries? Personally I do not like not being able to check water levels, but at the moment, I am not getting 8d batteries with caps in my location.

  2. Battery Time

    It's that dreaded time to replace my 4 house batteries. I shouldn't complain, I got 9 years out of them. The "but" is, replacements are limited. I've got Deka's in there, 24" inches long. The battery places are not stocking 8hhg-25's but do stock 8HHG-21's.. 6-8 week lead on the 25's, anybody have...

  3. Storage under front seat

    Has anyone ever opened the area under the bow seat on the forward deck. It looks like there might be quite a large void there. I was thinking the seat could be cut open and a couple of hatches put in. Salty Lady 53MY #555 Ft Pierce Fl / Chester Ct

  7. Below deck/engine room paint?

    With all of the time that I am spending inside of the engine room/generator room and chain locker, it seems that once the projects are done (yes, I know, "temporarily ahead on the maintenance" is probably the more accurate phrase) I would like not to look at the tired walls. Plus, a clean-looking...

  8. Mysterious Large Bubbles

    While running the engines at the dock I notices large bubbles coming out from under the port side of the boat every few seconds. This is located approximately 2 feet aft of the aft engine room bulkhead and only appear on the port side of the boat. Since I first noticed this, it occurs every time...

  9. Water accumulation between inboard stringers/center fuel tanks

    Hi guys, lately it seems that I've been getting accumulated water between the inboard stringers/over center fuel tanks. This water is now to the point that it spills into the floor of the generator room. It's nasty,oily and who knows what. I have no idea where it's coming from or how it gets on...

  10. Still a noob.....

    At the supreme risk of stating what everyone knows, but on the off chance that someone will benefit...... It was quite windy the other day when I went into the engine room and about had my hat blown off. DUH! This may explain why the hallway had trouble heating up. The temperature there is up...

  11. Another mystery solved.

    I've finally found a "Consulting mechanic" who will keep me out of trouble, for a fee of course, as I do my own work, and if necessary get his hands dirty if it gets tricky. We discussed my SB engine temperature indications which are suspect at best as they disagree with the IR point and shoot...

  13. Detroit Diesel mechanic for Southeast Michigan?

    Hi I would like to find out who to talk to regarding approximate cost to possibly replace a crank and fix / rebuilt a transmission on a 8V92T motor. Would anyone have any recommendations? Just looking for approximate costs as we don't know if it really needs a crank, but what if..... i.e. it's...

  14. Engine Room Heater

    Are the oil filled radiator type of heaters safe to use as supplemental heat in an engine room? My Wolverine oil pan heaters have stopped heating, so until the replacements arrive I need another source of heat. The heater circuit is on a thermostat so I could set the heaters at the highest setting...

  16. Sea Recovery customer service is not so good at first then it’s great

    Another thread on good customer service, this time from Sea Recovery. Last summer we upgraded our 2012 vintage 30gph watermaker to a new remote panel and a new control board after the original board failed. Several months later when we got out into clean water, I tried to make water, but it...

  17. System Monitor panel is inoperative

    When I shut my engines down last week, the System Monitor worked normally: the red lights and buzzer came on when I shut off each engine. Today when I moved the boat to the pump out it did not function: no low oil pressure lights and no horn. I opened the back of the box and checked for voltage...

  18. DC wiring question

    Today I pulled the panel on the old Sentry battery charger that’s in our 43’ SF. I noticed two small red wires connected to terminals on the charger that were marked “ING”. I’m assuming ING means ignition. If that is the case, I don’t know what these wires are for. Any information is greatly...

  19. Advice on Wax

    Is there a "go to" wax or compound anyone can recommend? My hull is a little chalky as the PO hadn't waxed it in some time. I'm assuming, being that it is painted, that we need a very minimal cut and more of a polishing product? Anything product that's tried and true?

  20. aft deck hatch removal

    Hello all, While refinishing the master stateroom, the overhead escape hatch is leaking with the rain. I am going to remove, rebed with butyl tape and re-install. Has anyone removed this hatch before and if so, how? Question - is the hatch simply screwed down or is it thru-bolted and do I have...
