  7. Hose on older boats

    Considering the purchase an older Hat (1970's era) and started to think about all the systems, etc. that will need to be replaced. One item I just thought about are the hoses, particularly those that don't have a seacock, such as the exhaust hoses. Do these fail? Do they need to be replaced? ...

  8. Engine stalls, fuel issue Detroit 4-71. Simple troubleshooting?

    I had a man working over on the port side of my engine room this week and he was "crammed" in the area where the fuel lines come off the Floscan Homogenators/Pulse Dampers and connect over to the fuel pump. The motor has been running perfectly up to that point, but today when I started it to...

  9. Exhaust Blankets - 58LRC, a few questions

    Does anyone know if the exhaust blankets in the attached photos would be the original for these engines? Do they contain asbestos? They are in overall decent shape except for one side where the cloth is worn out from running against people squeezing by. Is there a fiberglass tape or other...

  10. Detroit Diesels - Anyone see this before?

    I'm hoping I just need to remove the plate and install a new gasket. Must be salt crystals right? Just don't want this to be an indication there is a blockage downstream. Engine is not running hot and seems like great water flow out the exhaust.

  12. 58' LRC Pilothouse floors and refinishing

    Does anyone know what wood and finish is used on the pilothouse floor of a 58LRC? Mine are in pretty nice shape except for the finish which is worn out in a few spots. I was thinking of surface sanding these floors and re-finishing them. Varnish? Polyurethane? Other?

    Yesterday, we were out on the hook for the 1st time in a few months (a number of repairs and upgrades being done) and had an issue with my Victron Multiplus not charging properly. About 3 weeks ago, I had updated the Firmware on the Cerbo, Multiplus and BVM. Didn't notice any problems as the...

  14. Help with these Isolation Transformers (assuming that is what they are)

    I have 2 large boxes in the engine room (see below) which I believe to be isolation transformers as well as possibly voltage boosters/frequency converters. Of all the documentation I have on board, I don't have any information on these. I've attached a photo of the top unit and hope maybe...

  15. 58LRC Shaft log problem

    On our 1st voyage, I noticed water was dripping from the shaft on the starboard engine more that normal. I'm not familiar with the type of packing setup on these vessels and expected to find a large packing nut that I could tighten. Instead I found a 2 flange setup with bolts that appear to...

  16. Floscan 236C senders, can they be opened and repaired?

    Has anyone successfully dis-assembled their Floscan senders to diagnose and/or repair them? Are they gear drive or optical? My starboard engine is reading only 2.4v on both fwd and return senders and I think the mechanism inside may be "gummed up" or sticking. Other engine, the senders show...

  19. Help with locating drive temp sender and/or Yacht safety center problem

    On my 58LRC, I received an alarm on the Yacht Safety Center that says "stbd drive temp", when the engine is cold and hasn't even been running. I does not go away when I start the engine. Clearly there is a problem with the alarm as the drive temperature is at ambient air temperature of about 70...

  20. Bottom paint - 58LRC (How many gallons and approx cost)?

    I saw on another thread that a 58' takes about 4 gallons off paint, but it wasn't clear if that was for one or two coats. I'm guessing only one coat. Also, I've checked a few marinas around here (SW Florida) and they are getting around $100/ft to haul and 2 coats of paint. $580 to...
