While my starboard main engine is being rebuilt it would seem to be a good time to check the valve lash adjustment in the two generators.....not to mention the other main engine! My question is has anyone here done the valve lash adjustment on this model Onan? I will check the manual when I...

Took her out for a Birthday ride yesterday and the Starboard engine overheated on the way in. I just changed oil and filters the day before and after pulling the cover on the impeller finding no issue went to the coolant tank and looked in and the antifreeze was barely able to be seen! My worst...

Can anyone provide any insight on the removal and replacement of the mirrored wall behind the sink? It has double sliding mirrors with storage behind and other mirrors making up the header and framework. I have seen allot of discussion about bathroom counter tops on the forum but didn't see any...

I had planned a trip to the Bahamas last spring and due to business issues I was not able to take the trip. My issue is I filled the boat with fuel the prior year....didn't run it much...so the fuel in the fwd tank, mid fwd and mid aft is close to two years old. The aft tank is close to three...

I need to do some painting in the engine room and wondered if anyone knows the color and type/brand of paint was used? I searched the forum and there was some discussion on the topic but no details in regard to paint color spec's or brand etc. It appears to be a eggshell...off white...looks like...

I just had Florida Detroit Diesel on the boat to correct a block heater issue. The Tech. told me that these engines 1996 12 V 92 DDEC are 1,500 hour engines and its time to rebuild. My first question is do you Detroit experts out there agree with that statement? He said he's seen them go longer...

Looking for any leads on finding the Pro-Link 9000 cartridge that works to read my 12v92 DDEC Detroits. I would like to purchase the cartridge and reader if I can locate one. The correct cartridge # that works reading my engines is J-38500-13C. I have seen the readers available on E Bay but have...

My lower water tank sending unit was stuck on 3/4 full...ran the tank dry before I saw the issue...I pulled both senders..one normal 20 inch and another 22 inch with a float that is pinned with only about an inch of movement at the bottom of the sender. I assume that it is some sort of alarm...

Background, I pulled the boat in Jan. to have all the old bottom paint removed for a fresh start and to address any blisters that may be hiding under the old paint. I also had the bow thruster pulled to rebed it to the hull as I had some seepage around it. The zincs on the thruster were being...

Checking to see if anyone can tell me where I can come up with the cap that screws onto the davit remote control plug in connection that keeps water out when the controler isn't pluged in. I had a friend help me with the dingy and it came free from the rubber lanyard and went into the drink...

I have a fuel consumption diff. From engine to engine on my 12v92s. I purchased the boat a bit over a year ago and at sea trial.... and ever since...the port engine burns the same as the starboard up to about 1,000 rpms and at wide open 100% load. From above 1,000 rpms the port engine starts...

I have ordered and received new Hatteras stick on emblems from Sams for the aft side's of the boat. I would welcome any impute concerning the safe removal of the old one's.......I'm thinking heat gun...etc. I'm concerned with paint coming off with the old one! Thanks again for your thoughts!

It appears that engine zincs were not a priority for the previous owner and it looks like the lower bronze return fittings from the heat exchanger have become porous and are leaking. Has anyone have a suggested source for these? The engines are 1996 Det. 12v92s DDEC'S Thanks

I bought a 1996 70 Sport Deck last year and knew it needed all those years of bottom paint removed to start fresh. You could see patch's coming off from previous layers that were not adhering any more. The boat has no blistering issues so no repairs needed there. What should blasting the bottom...

I am looking for any advice in correcting a intermittent high water alarm on my 70 sport deck. It started out just chirping on occasion. I called Sams and they gave me the phone # to a gentleman who rebuilds the monitoring systems. He advised me to jump the connections on the monitoring system...
