Short and sweet-----Have a 43DC 1971 model and am looking to replace the side panels around the bridge area. Original? material looks like a masonite? is getting old and brittle in some areas. I would like to replace it, possibly changing access points and adding wing doors. If I go with original...

I have studied the previous posts on this subject but can't find anything about a steering system with no reservoir.The owners manual for my 41TC show the reservoir in the diagram...but..there isn't any..so how do we bleed the air out? I have tried turning the wheel in each direction with the...

I have no clue what a fair market value for my 454's would be if I sold them. Still heavily thinking about this as you can see in my other threads. They were totally redone and have less than 100hrs on them. All new accessories like starters, alternators, ignition coils, distributors ect and...

There have been a few threads about 110v vs 32V pumps, and how they might be tied together. Wellll....I had my camera at the boat this weekend and took a pic of my plumbers nightmare. I have both varieties, plumbed together with a Y valve so one can die or be removed for surgery without losing the...

I am going to install flowscan meters on my 671n engines. I will have to install senders @ intake & return line. When I do this I will lose my prime. A few times I have run low on fuel or when changing my fuel filters I lose my prime and it is a PITA to restart. Is there a priming pump I can...

I had to replace a TV in my salon and went with a new LCD HDTV (Sylvania 32). Great set. But what the big surprise to me was how amazing the reception was on all the digital broadcast channels. I've just got a regular 14" flat dish VHF/UHF antenna mounted up on my half-tower hardtop, and it used...

I've been struggling on and off this winter to restore salt water flow to my aft toilet. It's a Raritan Crown Deluxe. I suspected all along that eel grass from a stay in Nantucket last summer was the culprit...While anchored there, I removed the spring and ball valve from the intake, at the pump...

I'm struggline with two dink motors and an old beast of a pontoon....yes, my cylinder index is way to high..... Is there a forum out there, like this one, or BoatDiesel that has a decent knowledge base? I've done some searching, but not with much luck. Thanks,
