I recently installed a Vacu-flush toilet system in my boat. It was fairly easy to install and it work very well. The last item on my list to finish this job off is to de commission the seacock that suppiled the old salt water fed toilet. My question is how do I do this properly? Thanks

I installed a Vacu-flush toilet system today to replace the original electric head. It was a fair amount of work but it went in more or less as I planned. But I now have a problem with my fresh water system. During the installation I put a T in a fresh water pipe to feed the new toilet (old...

I just read about a new fuel primer pump for Racor 1000's & 900's in the Febuary issue of Passage Maker. It installs between the bowl and filter body, and can be retro-fitted. Sounds interesting. Has a pre-screen filter. http://www.parker.com/racor/Prodbul/fuel/7585-RacorFilterPumpBrochure.pdf

I am getting ready to change the fuel filters on my J & T 671N's. There are 2 side by side on each engine and they are the spin on type. The DD manual makes it sound pretty simple; spin the old ones off, fill the new ones 2/3's full with new fuel coat the gaskets and spin them on , tighten 1/2...

Has anyone heard of a Pacific Northwest Hatteras rendezvous?

I have an old style "dumb" battery charger and would like to replace it with a new electronic "smart" one. I have 2 8d deep cycle house batteries and 1 8d starting battery. All 3 were replaced just prior to me buying the boat in May and I want to look after them. Can anyone suggest a good...

I am still really happy with my new purchase, a 1980 37c with 671 n's. I have noticed the starboard fuel tank sure empties faster than the port side. In about 3 hours of cruising @2050 rpm about 1/8 extra was gone from the strb side tank (2 tanks 165 gallons each). Is this normal? Thanks

I just bought a 1980 37c with 671-n's and over all I am very happy with it so far. There are however a few small spots on the top side where the paint has been chipped or rubbed off, and I sure the paint is original. Is there any way to touch up these spots without making a bigger mess? Any info...
