  1. How to spend $5000 replacing a toilet hose

    Well, I started out to replace the waste hose between the thru-hull and the holding tank. It clogged on my during my vacation last summer and created some unpleasantness in the process. I soon realized that the job would require cutting a couple access holes in order to remove and replace the...

  2. Dinghy outboard HP

    I just picked up a used 8' 6" Achilles inflatable, with the inflatable keel. Anybody know the max and/or recommended HP for that? I cannot find a tag on the "vessel".

  3. 8' 6" Achilles inflatable - Outboard recommendations

    I just picked up the subject inflatable as a dink, and toy for my kids. Not sure as to the ob hp I should be looking at. I don't want a dog, but neither do I want a hot rod. (14 year old boys have far more between their legs than between their ears). There's no hp tag on the transom. ...

  4. EPIRB opinion - GPS vs no GPS

    I am buying a second EPIRB to pack in my liferaft. It's just one thing I don't want to have to worry about if I have to abandon ship. And it sure would not be pleasent to be in a raft in the middle of the ocean without one. I don't want to be penny wise / pound foolish, but the ACR 2744,...

  5. Help save my marriage: Air Conditioner fan control - 1979 43C

    Does anyone have a source or fix for the AC fan speed control? My salon control goes from virtually off to wind tunnel speed just fine, but the stateroom fan cannot be turned much below the wind tunnel setting. I like my AC on, and of course, the admiral wants to wrap up in 3 sleeping bags and...

  6. Those %$&#!! Windlass foot switches

    OK, I give up. :mad: I've been replacing the foot switches for my windlass about every fourth trip. The only ones I can find locally are at Boaters World - Seadog or something like that. They aren't carrying a load, only activating the solenoids, yet they fail at an unreasonable rate. It's...

  7. Finish for teak and holly veneer decking

    I've been spending the past few weeks putting in teak and holly (veneer on marine ply) decking inside the cabin of my boat. Although it's still too cold to finish it, I do want to take home and finish the piece that will go under the head, so I can install that. I like the Epifanes products, and...

  8. Starter wiring on Onan MDJE diesel generator

    I need some help reinstalling the starter on my Onan MDJE diesel generator. I made the mistake of not marking the wires when I removed it last fall, and now I can’t figure out where they go. Here’s what I have, and what I do know: 12 ga black wire obviously can only go to the #10 size post...

  9. Electrical panel questions

    I’ve been having a problem lately with my electrical panel on my ’79 43C. The stbd side outlet breaker was kicking out under negligible loads, and now won’t reset at all, even with no load on it. I know that the simple answer would be to just replace the breaker, but it also has a GFI...

  10. Steering fluid capacity

    Can anyone give me an estimate of how much fluid my Hynautic system will take? I have 2 helms (FB and cockpit) as well as an autopilot pump on the bridge. I believe it is the HS20 model. Thanks.

  11. Main H2O intake hose change

    The main raw water lines in my boat look like they've been there since 1979 when it was built, and are showing signs of exterior cracking. So, this afternoon after a good Easter dinner and obligatory post dinner stint on the couch, I went down and removed the stbd water line from the thru-hull to...

  12. Silkolene 762 source

  13. 6v92 Exhaust leak at clamp

    I'm leaking exhaust - most evident at startup - from the joint between the turbo and the exhaust Y pipe. It appears that when I had a yard replace the gaskets in front of the turbo last year, they opened it up here and didn't tighten the clamp over the flanges sufficiently. This morning, I...

  14. 6v92 zinc size and locations

    I just spoke with Atlantic DD, and they need me to bring in the old zincs so they can match them. I know that there's one on the raw water pump, and I presume that there is one on the heat exchanger, but so far I haven't located it. Can anyone tell me precisely where on the heat exchanger it's...

  15. Diesel vs heating oil

    OK, I've had several "experts" tell me I'm nuts for springing for diesel for my boat, when heating oil will do just fine, and that I ought to have my heating oil guy fill my boat, at least when it's on the hard. Legal ramifications notwithstanding, are the two interchangable?

  16. VHF Antenna questions

    I need to replace one of my antennae, as the cable inside the upper portion of the whip corroded and parted. I have a 13.5' base, with a 5' whip that screws to the top of that via a ferrule of sorts. Is it correct that I can simply relace the upper portion and thread the cable of the new antenna...

  17. 6v92ta Impellors

    Can anyone help me with a reasonably priced source for the raw water pump impellors for a 6v92TA? Also, my notes are down at the boat, and I don't have the part # available here in my office. If you have that as well I would appreciate it. Thanks. Bob

  19. Allison spin on follow-up

    After reading the thread on the spin-on filters, I'd like to change mine as well (Allison M15 tranni). Does anyone have the phone number and/or website for "Arcadia in LA", the source mentioned in that thread? I cannot locate them via the web. Thanks.

  20. 8v92 Buddy Davis follow up and cored hull question

    Well, my buddy's hull survey on the Buddy Davis came back 'ok'. One suspect wet area on the hull lead to some investigation, and it seems that this particular boat was an early model, and was built with a cored hull below the waterline. Well, I'm neither a surveyor nor a naval architect, nor do I...
