I removed the swim platform when I put the boat in storage this year to bring it home to my shop with the hope of removing all the old varnish on it and re-doing it. Not sure what the PO put on it but i am having a heck of a time getting it off. Read alot of previous threads about restoring teak...

Hi All, Haven’t had the time to post anything in quite awhile, been busy with boat things in our all too short season in Michigan. This winter while the boat is on the hard I got a few winter “projects” to do. My list and I will keep it just to the engine room is as follows, pulling the...

Yes that time is upon us again up here in Michigan. Since this is my first year with the 53c I have a quick question about storage. I am going inside, heated and I would like to know if there is anything I need to do with the mains (8-92TA) other than changing the oil. Going to do a couple of...

Well I think I got about 90% o the generator problems fixed with the exception of two bad injectors. Here’s the problem, I can’t find any injectors for this little Cummins.

For the last two weeks the Admiral thinks I am obsessed about getting Superior Nights ready to bring her around to home. Although it certainly does not compare with some of the maiden voyages that I have read about (only about 250mi) I am truly excited and preparing as if it were a two week...

Well we spent the first weekend on the boat and as I had time to explore all the system I have a few questions to pose. I got the transmission controls moved to the port side with the throttles moved to starboard. The cables are very stiff and movement takes, what I feel, to much force. I have...
