Ive got A 1981 37C with DD 671 TI JT, trying to replace the Rt engine throttle cable with new. I can not find the model number on either end. I did call Sams and they have identified about 7 different cables under my hull number 415. However it does not say what position each of the cables...

A few days ago my norpro yanmar 8kw stopped running. At first I could hear the motor slowing down. I shut it down at the switch because it sounded as though it was going to quit anyways. It was slowing down, as if there was a heavy load. Now, I’ve restarted it twice, but it cut off within...

Has anyone installed one of these water heaters. It's smaller than its replacement. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the mixing valve extends the hot water out long enough to get a shower, estimate of shower time would be helpful thanks

Damn, this water heater has sprung a leak and burned the power wires. Bigger problem is how to get it out of my port side engine room and what to put in its place: any ideas? Pictures sideways until I figure out rotation, sorry

It has been several weeks since I fired up the Top Dog. After I looked at all the gauges, I noticed that the starboard altinator was redwing 12 volts, port was reading 14. I hit the parell switch and the starboard showed 14. Moments later I noticed that all the gushes on the starboard side...

Over the past year I've been trying to find a leak in my hynautic steering system. Found the leak and replaced the 3/8 copper line in the aft bildge. Now I'm trying to purge the system. After reviewing the tips and tricks I still am not sure where to bleed the system. This is a picture of my...

On my starboard 671 TI the 205 degree Sensor was starting to separate, maybe from being steped on or floor board dropping. I ordered another one and here is a picture of both of the sensors. They look different, they are different sizes and different metal... Does anyone know if they work the...

So my starboard dripless drive shaft is dripping. I have a back up seal on the drive shaft ready to install. See pictures. I'm not sure how to get the old seal out. I have removed the spiral retaining ring. This unit is a strong seal, so to replace the seal, how do you get the old seal out...

With all the cruddy weather over the past few months I neglected to run my motors. I've been waiting for some warmer decent weather. So today was the day. Initially, the right motor started up after a prolonged start sequence, no problem. Left motor put out a few puffs of smoke, acted like...

2013 on the hard

On my JT 671 TI engine seriall/model # there is a star at the end! what does it mean?

Does any one recognize these block heaters. Both are bad. Corrosion has set in and when I turn them on at the breaker, I can hear an electrical arcing at the probe. I have JT 671TI in my 1981 37C. The probes are installed just behind what appears to be a fuel pump(not positive). Pictures...
