  1. Larger Props For Efiency And Engine Life When Running Big Engines Slow

    Our boat is a 1985 61' MY powered by 2 12V71TI 650HP @2300 RPM Originally it had a top speed of 18kts. To do that speed it required every bit of HP to get it up on some level of plane and you couldn't back off much at all before it fell back into the hole. Running the boat that way for me made no...

  2. Engine Oil - Napa=Valvoline

    About to buy 5, 5 gallon pails of oil for my oil change. Based on comments here, I will stay away from Rotella T 40 weight and go with either Valvoline All Fleet Plus (70501) or Napa 75118 which I am told is the identical oil. Only problem is that the Napa website lists the API for their part...

  3. Feeling "GASSY"

    So, like now I am on a new quest. I went to the GAS boat the other day, and went through some systems. The gas onboard, about 75 gallons, went in around Sept of '05. The tanks are Chris Craft galvanized steel with copper lines. I am thinking about changing the filters and priming them 1/2 with...

  5. Heat Exchanger/Radiator Anatomy

    Calling all you Detroit breathing/bleeding gurus.... The heat exchanger/radiator "box" on the front of my starboard engine has to come off and get refurbished. A gasket or two started leaking the last time we went out and the whole thing turned to crap quick. There was salt cakes on the floor...

  6. repower-down: 12v71--> 8v, 6l, 4-71

    Two early '70s 58 MYs have come to my attention but both have at least one dead 12v71. They are priced accordingly. Word has it that these engines are great, w/480 natural HP and DD reliability, but they're not the most fuel efficient powerplants out there. Rebuilding or replacement would be...

  7. Galley Maid Windlass removal

    Edit: This is an on going project that aims to repair balsa core rot under the pulpit. We've been to this well many times here, and the question I have is simple. It is a model BBHH-12-5-1/4 that all of a sudden turned into a rust ball. I have a feeling this is due to all of the rough water we...

  8. Bar rebuild, afromsia, formica, thoughts, questions

    I have removed all of the added cabinet that someone installed next to the bar on my 53ED. Now I am going to have to re-veneer the original cabinet as it is full of screw holes. I will also need to make some trim pieces and replace the some (or all) of the formica on the bar top since it is also...

  9. Repower hat53 motoryacht with small engines

    I'm looking for a 53 my to repower to trawler speeds with small engines. The calculator says 100hp total power 50 each side will push the boat at 1.30 hull speed 9.5k. Will need a 3to1 gear to achieve this. Any ideas on this subject. Sam

    Gezuz, what is with the people who put some things together? The teak inlays on my pulpit are wasted and require replacement. So today, out came the wood chisel to get the boards off. They were 5200'd down, and then black cauk run around the edges. Ok. No problem there. BUT - on...

  11. electrolysis

    I am tearing what is left of my hair out. Our "86 36C is eating its anodes quite fast. The diver says it is only our boat. The other nearby boats are OK. Of course we never had this problem in the great lakes. It has shown up since we moved the boat to Florida in Sept. I read an online article from...

  14. Clean engine rooms?

I have put 100 hours on my boat in the last month and I allways end up with a little water on the floor...

  15. 45C repower

    George did you use the C12 Compact engine for your re power? I am looking at the C12 or the Cummins %%WORD11%. The Cat sales rep. said I may need the compact version that is more expense. THANKS

  16. Not allowed full speed with 8v71’s whilst surveying

    Hi all, before putting in an offer on a 53my with 8V71’s on board I had an extensive chat with the owner to find out what was and wasn’t on the Hatt that I do have on my current ship. One of my questions was if it was possible during the survey to go full speed for 5 minutes. I got a ‘no, we...

    Hi Guys, we are about 80 miles from home after almost 1000 miles, fueled in Canaveral and lost the foward gear on the starboard engine when we undocked. Reverse works fine and the gear oil pressure is normal. The shifter seems to be moving the shift lever properly and the shaft is also rotating as...
