  1. Freon REcharge

    Is it possible to charge the freon in AC units yourself? I have 2 out of 4 units that have slow leaks and need to be recharged with freon each year. Is this a DIY type of thing that I could get the freon for and do myself or is it regulated / dangerous? Thanks!

  5. coolant capacity of 892's

    I have 735 H.P 892's in my boat. Johnson and towers. The manuel says 23 gallons per engine. Is this a typo? This seems like an awful lot. Anyone know the answer to this one? Thanks in advance, Chris. ________ CHEAP GLASS PIPES

  6. 8V71 N heat exchanger/cooling system

    The surveyor's report stated the cooling system is in need of cleaning, it's been laid up for a while but has been started and ran regularly. Also, the heat exchangers are leaking at the gaskets. A mechanic said he would charge $1200 to clean both and replace the gaskets. It doesn't sound too...

  10. What the H*** is this Little Piece of Iron?

    Cleaned and remoted the air box drain check valves today (6V92TA) per the advice from Karl and others on the forum and found a small piece of iron in the outboard port check valve. It seems to have a slight curve to it. Pictures attached. The engine is running well, no smoke, starts easily as...

  13. Engine Room Ventilatio

    I've gutted my salon on my 38' Sportfih Hatteras. While I'm at it I decided to change out the ventilation tubing. The configuration that exists is to say the least 39 years of God knows what.

  14. Groco EB Head

    One of my Groco EB heads will not pump "water" out. I can step on the foot pedal and press the button to activate the motor and water comes in but releasing the foot pedal does not start the removal process. Any thoughts? If I have to rebuild do I need the regular service kit or the master...

  16. Is this a DUMB genny/inverter set up or what?

    I have been quite please with our boat and the manner in which the PO set up most things - at least until he turned 80 and let his son take over - you can clearly see the difference. Anyway, at the moment I am not so pleased. Today, for the first time, I discovered that the...

  19. Fresh Water Pump Belt Replacement

    My fresh water pump has thrown its belt. I am looking to put a new belt on and was wondering whether I just stretch it over the pulleys or is there a way to properly install it and adjust it. The pump is a Par 36950 Freshwater pump. Thanks.

  20. Exclamation Are we getting cheated on our bottom jobs?

    A discussion with my capt. re: bottom paint revealed that it is common practice to thin out bottom paint using mineral spirits or something similar prior to applying. This makes applying the thick bottom paint much easier and faster. However...... Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of the paint which...
