Help, help, help... I installed new zincs in my heat exchanger, 671 TIC, the other day and the nut that zinc screws into that is sodered to the bottom of the heat exhanger partly snapped off. I have taken off the heat exchanger and it looks in good shape with no obvious electrolysis problems. I...

See if this makes any sense: my DD 8v71 Naturals have N70 injectors. I believe that N55 injectors are also available for these engines. Now, '55' is 21% less than '70' arithmetically. Would it therefore follow that I might get 21% more (better) mileage if I changed out to the lower rated...

The current thread on Turbo Replacement got me thinking: I originally removed the intercoolers and had them cleaned because I suspected some blockage..likely zinc pieces from the raw water pump. This forum helped me understand how critical they are as these are the first "TI" engines I've owned...

I'd like to replace the exhaust fittings (shower heads, cast iron) on my 43 dc. They're more like 45's or less any idea of who has them for a decent price? Thanks Bill

Something I was just thinking about....Last repower I removed and installed the engines in the water. This time the boat is on the hard. Will removing engines while on the hard present any balance issues? I have three stands on either side of the boat which is up on two sets of blocks at the...

I am going to buy a big boat a Hatteras maybe but I saw some body say two stroke motors are old and schools don't teach how to work on them now. I hope this is where to ask this question. Thanks, Leon

I picked a cell antenna this past weekend and wanted feedback on the boosters that go with them. I have heard they will boost anywhere fron 20-50 miles offshore. Who has them and what do you think? Also, did you hook direct to the phone or did you go to a remote telephone?

Reading up on Shaft Spurs: http://www.spursmarine.com/index.html Has anyone installed, I see for some applications you need a "spacer" on the transmission? I remember cruising and having problems with a line in the water, having to throw down the hook and do some diving... Any thoughts? ...

I promised that I would post the results of our VC-17 trial in salt water. Our 36C, "Unity", has been in the water a full year. 6 months of that was in the Great Lakes and the last 6 months have been in salt water. The boat now lives in Miami. We pulled it Friday and were very surprised how nice...

Does anyone know where I should look to get my head working again? When the button is pushed the solenoid clicks but that is all. If I put 12 volt power direct to the motor it runs . If I jump the contacts on the back of the pushbutton switch the solenoid just clicks also. I've tried a new solenoid...
