I need to change my primary fuel filters on my 692TA's (vintage 1996). The filter canister now has a DD number of DD23518482. I would like to cross reference that Detroit number and buy a Fram filter. Anyone have the Fram number or a Fram cross reference link for me?

This is one of those stories "that could have been worse." In the Seattle area, we have a lock between Lake Washington and Puget Sound. I've been using it for years but this was my first experience with a really stupid boater behind me. His lock lines were to short, so he tied a couple lines...

After a year worth of weighing the rebuild/ repower options the decision has been made… our ole DD 8V-71TI’s (435Hp) are going to replaced with the reman Cummins 450C’s (430Hp). I’d like to hear from anyone that has done the same; or similar re-power on a 15’10 Hatt. I’m looking for any general...

After reading several threads on this forum about repacking propeller shafts while the boat's in the water, I (nervously) took on this project yesterday. Before removing the old packing I went under the boat and put a ring of duct seal (aka "monkey poo") around the shaft where it enters the bottom...

I switched to Rotella T40 on my last oil change in the Keys and now up in the Baltimore area I cannot find it. The story is the distributer has dropped it and can only get 15W40 which I'm not about to use.. What are you guys finding to be easily available in the MD/DE region? Or maybe some one...
