  1. Fiberglass Fuel Tanks

    Does anyone on the board know what type of resin was used in tanks built circa 1971. More specifically, from a 1971 36' Sportfish (gasser). I am having the fuel tested for resin and I'm certain that the lab may ask the question. I know it's a polyester resin but I am told that there were certain...

  2. Trim Tabs...fixed

    After my repower I noticed my boat had a slight list to the port and on occasion shifted from port to stbd. I looked all over the boat for water where it should not be, ect ect but found no clues about why it does this until I worked my way through the Bennett Trim tab system...which has been on...

  4. Showerhead stuck to turbo..

    I have 8V71TI's and I am chasing a temp creep on the stbd engine. i have been through all the usual stuff (impeller, raw water circuit flush w/phosphoric acid, fresh water engine flush) and decided since I haven't looked at the showerheads since I've bought the boat ('00), I should check them out....

    In between doing root canals and wrestling the Anaconda this week, I sat down for a sparky, a coke, and my Naiad manual ( thanks Sky! ). Inside the "oil conditioner" is a coil for an oil cooler, and the book doesent give a clue as far as winterizing/draining it is concerned. It is supplied from...

  6. Temp gauge probe location?

    I am in the process of adding mechanical oil pressure and temp gauges. My question is where do I put the temp bulb on a 6v92? I see a plug just above the water pump that might be suitable, but I don't want to put it where it has the possibility of restricting the flow. I thought maybe someone...

  7. Detroit 671 leak

    I have a pin sized leak in a hose that runs horizontally across the front of the engine. I usually leave engine related projects to the experts, but this looks like an easy D-I-Y project and the mechanic is out of town so.... am I oversimplifying and is this a drain whole system project and create...

  8. Ethanol Once Again

    Just wanted to weigh in on my recent experience with the dreaded E10 situation. Purchased my 1971 36' Sportfish (Gas) knowing about the E10 situation and fiberglass tanks. When I purchased the boat the port tank was just about empty, the starboard tank registered between 1/8 & 1/4 tank. Ran the...

  9. Replacement A/C for 1972 38 C

    I have purchased a 1972 38 C that was missing a gen set and most of the original Cruiseair a/c system. Operating out of Cozumel I need A/C! I have purchased an 8kw Kohler which will be installed this week but have not yet chosen an a/c system. I expect to choose a remote system with the noisy...

    Greetings all, I am repainting the bottom of my lower station when I started wondering if I should keep it at all. The boats a 1978 46 C. I have the throttles disconnected but the gears are still hooked up. Only once have I used it, when one of my upper station gear controls broke. If I got rid of...

  13. Knocking Noise-from Engine

    Last night, coming back from a night cruise, I heard a systematic knocking coming form the engine room. I thought it might be a rope wrapped around the prop. This morning, grabbed the snorkel gear and took a look, and saw nothing wrapped around the engine. Turned the props freely with no...

  15. Freezing CoreI

    I am selling 1970's Hatteras. The decks and all flat surfaces sounded good with a plastic hammer. The moisture meter indicated several spots with moisture content. Some areas are not near any screws or penetrations. The deal blew up because the buyer is concerned with the core freezing and...

  16. What am I getting myself into?

    So I completely understand the concept that if you have to ask you can't afford it but here I go anyways. I have always been a huge fan of the 36c and I recently came across one in need of some serious work. It's a Series I gas model. While I realize that is a deal breaker for most my goal...

  17. Cool Bleeding Hydraulic Steering

    My recently purchased, '67 34ft DCMY had the Crowell Steering converted to Hynautic in the early 90's (parts purchased from IMO Industries, Sarasota and installed by a local Marina). The steering is sloppy and I'd like to try to bleed the system myself. I have the original owners manual that...

  18. Fluid Controls. Inc.

    As some of you know, I'm in the midst of refitting/restoring a 1964 34 Sport Cruiser. Currently, I'm finishing up the steering system. All the old copper has been removed and replaced. The steering pumps seem to be working but to my surprise I found out that I didn't have the Crowell system that...

  20. What are the wires attached to my secondary filter?

    Attached is a photo of my secondary fuel filter. I am changing this old, original style filter to the spin-on type, per DD's recommendation. I am curious as to what the electric wires attached to it would be. On this fitting, to the right is the hose coming from the Walbro priming pump. To...
