On my recent post re Muriatic acid for the H/E, JLR cautioned me about trashing my fuel coolers. Specifically, "True confession time. I have done this three times using muriatic acid. Each time, I wasted a fuel cooler. That's $3,000 worth of fuel coolers but a cool running engine. Watch what you...

Can anyone provide some insight into checking the coolant pump on my 8V71TI. Any special tools required ? I assume this is a centrifugal pump...how can you tell when the impeller needs replacing? My stbd engine runs a bit warm and if recentlycompleted work on my intercoolers didn't fix it, my...

I have a 1973 58' Y/F with a Watermaker watemaker which has now gone caput. Advised by Watermaker not to put any money into it as they no longer support a unit that old. Would appreciate any sage advice about new unit in the 3-400 gpd range as a replacement. All makers seem to have the best one.

I'm 100 miles from the boat or I'd look myself. Does anyone know the size of the shrader valve on the resevoir? 1/4 or 1/8 Thanks Bill

This is a great boat. 6v92 TA's. 13.5 kw Onan (84hrs) Stabalized! A change in circumstance is causing me to sell. I will be putting it in the hands of a Broker later this month. It seems this site produces sales so here it is. It is in Newport News Virginia. I have lots of pictures, I do...

Then i would spray two letters and the rub like hell. It all came off and then my hands started to burn...so I ran for the water! After a...

I have a 1965, 41' DC with Chrysler 426 engines. The port tach doesn't go over 2K. What do you suggest is the cure? (if to replace it, are there any brands to stay away from??)

We had a survey done last week on our '58, for insurance purposes. The survey itself was a nightmare, that won't end, but that's another thread..... One of the surveyors findings was that we have a crack in one of our mufflers. His recommendation of course, it to replace the muffler, but...

Can someone give me a location to purchase parts for my boss's NL 6kw Diesel generator. Need fuel and oil filters. Thanks, captbuddy

Pardon the silly question but my 43 SX is new to me. For those of you who have a fresh water washdown fitting, do you have a separate fresh water pump for it. I have a salt water washdown and a separate switch and pump for it. Can't find the same for the fresh water washdown. Or, is it only of use...
