If it’s the same guy I used he was a great guy to have on speed dial.

J do you have any more info on what you used.

I also have a plate on the transom.

Ok I’m not convinced that the seal on the handle allows the racors to drain. On my twin racor 1000 both drain and hold vacuum without a drop evident anywhere. When I pop the tops I hear the air leaking back in. Where is the fuel going ? I have my supply and return selectors to where I assume...

The replacement filters I have come with a black and an orange oring , I use the black. Last season I redid seals balls etc on my twin racors after dealing with having to refill them before I could run motor. I was happy two see them full after two weeks of sitting unfortunately on the third...

I wasnt able to get to my boat. Maybe next weekend.

My racor 1000’s will drain below the fuel rail. There aren’t any isolation valves as I see some folks here have. There is no fuel anywhere to be found showing leakage. My fuel selector valves are set to off for supply and return. It was recommended to check the seal and float balls so I did...

I have raw water flush orig head giving me some trouble. The discharge pump loses prime and won’t drain the bowl. I replaced stator rotor and seal last week and still intermittently won’t flush. Raz was helpful and suggested running a hose from discharge side to a bucket to isolate any...

I’m thinking of replacing the packing in both shaft logs while I’m blocked up. My port side log/hose has a bit of a bulge and could have been over stuffed or over tightened. I have 2” shafts and think I read that I need 1/2” packing. On my previous boat I used the goretex packing and never had...

My starboard windshield was shattered by a clam dropped by a seagull and the center panel has a crack in a lower corner but the port side panel is good. I have been putting off resealing the three panels which leak during heavy rains so now I have no choice but to replace all three glass...

I need to replenish my fuel filter stock. I have twin racor 1000 and currently have 30m filters installed. My last box has a mix of 20m and 30m filters. Should I have a 20 in one and a 30 in the other? I also need to get the Eng mounted filters for fuel and oil also. Where’s a good place to...

Well my fridge finally gave up. I had to cut it up into smaller pieces to get it out. Now trying to find one to fit down the stairs with a 23 1/2” opening is proving to be tough. I’m looking for something big enough to fill the void and not require any or very little carpentry work. I have...

My orig ac unit has sht the bed. The Freon lines have rusted thru and ac guy says it’s time to replace. Has anyone replaced theirs? I’m thinking of a self contained unit but not sure how much of PIA it will be for a diy job. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Im gonna try some of this on the inside of one of the closets before I get crazy and do all the wood thru out my boat.
