After promising myself not to push the engines hard on this 1965 41' DC, I did push it hard last last night, WOT, I got 18 knots. That is with 426 wedge engines. I do not know if that is the true hull speed of the boat (with these engines) or not. Can any other 41DC owners let me know?

I have two units that share one pump for cooling. Lately the front unit can't run independant of the main unit in the salon, it constantly goes off on High Pressure because it wont turn on the seawater pump. It works fine if the salon unit is running. The problem of course is when the salon...

Getting ready to replace my zincs. Already ordered the prop shaft, rudder and trim tab zincs from Sams. Does anyone know if there is a flat rectangular zinc on this model? Sams wasn't sure and I am having a diver do the work in lieu of a haul out so I cannot see one if I have it. While I am...

I am looking for the model number for the compressor on the Cruisair A/C units on my boat. They are 1990 vintage Cruisair Model FS7C-P (230 VAC with SMX controls). The FS7C-P is on the electrical box label next to the compressor. I have 2 of these units with compressors that were replaced in...
