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...

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...

Can someone please tell me why I need to pull the Racor filter lid off and lift the filter halh way out of the canister, then a big bubble, gurgle, and the filter fills up. then put the lid back on and the motor runs fine all day! if I don't do this, the motor will run for four or five mins and...

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.

The steering pumps seem to be working but to my surprise I found out that I didn't have the Crowell system that...

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...

I have Racor primary filters on both the engines and the genny. I've been buying the same fuel filters for my primaries that were on the boat when I got her. But, what SHOULD I be using? The engines have 30 micron in them while the genny has 2 micron in it. We go through a lot of filters on...

The current temp sender does not work with the new gauges. The current senders have a thread diameter of 13/16 (from the edge of one thread to the edge of thread on the other side) but I can not find any VDO senders of that size, even the ones that come with extra bushings to fit different...
