My 43', 1979 Double Cabin has three exhaust fans and none of them work. The problem I am having is that I can not access any one of them. One is located on the port side servicing the forward head. One is on the starboard side servicing the galley and the last one is also on the starboard side...

Sorry in advance for the novel that follows. We have developed a possible smoke issue on our 1983 8V92s. The starboard appears to be much worse than the port. Here are the particulars: Cruised the boat for about 7 hours on the trip around to OC, MD with no smoke issues. Engines were not...

I have an update on the blower exhaust fans that need replacing on my 79, 43' MY. I found them at Sams. Part # 26044. They operate at 120V and they are very pricey at $130. Hope this helps if anyone else needs replacements. Jim Roe Therapy

I searched through the old postings (love the new forum's search by the way) and there is a fair bit of discussion on smoke at startup. When I start my 8V71TI's reasonably warm (not been run recently but have the Kabola heating them), they start immediately and produce some blue/white smoke...

I had an interesting false alarm on my 12 point monitor. After having a new blower put on my port engine, I went down the next morning (5:30 a.m.) to do a sea trial before getting my family onboard for the Holiday weekend. When I started the engine, I immediately got a low oil pressure warning that...

Passages is currently on a 3 week cruise through New England and catching a wi-fi signal here & there. Last year in planning the trip I had a hunch that a general thread on Medical Supplies on Board might come in handy. I had no idea. A few days ago I was at a slip when my daughter jumped on...

OK, I admit it, I am NOT a mechanic. I have replaced the water impellers on the mains and genset. Have also replaced belts,done oil changes and radiator fluids replaced my oil filters and fuel filters (remember my thread about breaking my ribs back in March). The junior college here FOR YEARS had...

I am cleaning out the pilothouse. There was a lot of stuff left behind from the previous owner and a lot of stuff was non-boat related stuff, like computer things, cell phone gadgets, etc. I have a handful of items remaining that I'm either not sure what they are (do they even go to anything on...

OK, I shouldn't have said a word in that thread last week about how reliable my vacu-flush has been....yes, it heard me, and now wants some attention. I've lost the seal in the bowl, which I've read isn't all that hard to fix, but not that I'm faced with it, I'm more interested in details.... ...

Well I think I got about 90% o the generator problems fixed with the exception of two bad injectors. Here’s the problem, I can’t find any injectors for this little Cummins. I am up in Michigan and I have contacted two local Cummins shops give them the part number for the nozzle and related parts...
