Do you have an Industrial Hose and Hydraulics around you anywhere. Those people have adapters right on the shelf that should convert for you. Maybe not but you never know. Nobody likes to have stock anymore, Applied Technologies in Ft Lauderdale didn't have a single O ring in stock when I was...

The thing about redoing the fuzzies before they rot to much is it is easier to remove. I found that part to be the most time consuming. Walt Hoover

I once had a 30' boat in a 48' slip in preparation to buying a larger boat. The marina charged me for the longer slip, not my boat length. If he is paying I personally think it's his slip. Maybe he is a problem customer and management is trying g to make him leave. Walt Hoover

Once the air pressure is released the oil will not spurt out, just some oil from gravity. There may be an o ring inside the steering block behind that fitting that can be replaced. Walt Hoover

Could that be the Soft Sand non skid that gets added to paint. Or maybe Kiwi Grip. Walt Hoover

If my memory serves me from my power transmission millwright days it looks like the front of the engine needs to move .003" to the left while not letting the back move and raise the back .003". Walt Hoover

My oil pressure gauges were electric but my gear pressure gauges had a length of flexible hose like yours from the hard copper. It might be easier to remove them and have a hydraulic shop make up new ones at the length you want. Walt Hoover

I installed a type 3 pump on my 42c. I installed T's into the three lines coming down from the fly bridge. I also installed ball valves on these T's for servicing. High pressure flexible lines then connected to the pump. Walt Hoover

I went on a trip where I had to go through alot of locks, the balls worked perfectly for that and never had to be adjusted. The balls do have their purpose. Lately I have been introduced to megafenders, I am very impressed and can't believe nobody thought of it sooner. Walt Hoover

I had a mdje, the sensors were wired in series and completed a circuit to the power to the fuel solenoid. When one sensor would open it would break the circuit and shut down. Pulling a wire off any sensor while running should shut it down.

I just looked closer at the pics, it is different than the one I had. I had straight cut teeth. Walt Hoover

In a pinch you can remove it and turn it around to the not worn side. Also try Ess-Kay on lake onieda NY answer Onan parts.com. Did you have the bendix on the starter replaced also? Walt Hoover

Well everyone let me hear your thoughts. I have completed sea trial, mechanical and hull survey of a 1999 65' sport fish in Stuart. The sea trial went well, the boat reached 31 knots, port 99.1% and the starboard 100% load. Temps were 187 port, 190 starboard. RPMs were port 2232 and starboard...

I'm looking at a boat with DDEC enginge controls. How reliable are the ECU's now that they are getting older. The boat is a 1998 with 16V92's. How many members here are running the electronic controlled engines and how is your experience. Is the DDEC basically a fuel, timing and monitoring...

I was wondering if there any forum members around the Chesapeake, Great Bridge area? Walt Hoover
