Has anyone ever used the units they sell in West Marine. Was reading on the box of the one that is round about 12" across and about 3 or 4" tall. All it does is run air through it and heat the air up before blowing the warm air out. I've been told there is some that you set on the counter and...

I have a 7.5 kw Onan Generator. Has anyone ever taken the solenoid apart. I think this weekend I finally found out why the Generator has been very hard to crank. It appears the plunger which comes out when you hit the stop switch and, I think, shuts off the air and then when you hit the start...

Can anyone tell me the capacity of my 453 N. Plan on draining them this weekend and put the correct mix 50/50 of Detroit Coolant. Checked with Detroit Diesel and they said 2 1/4 gal. Is that just the block and not the heat exchanger? Sounds low to me. Thanks, captbuddy

If I knew how to post pictures on this site I would take some pictures of my new doors on my 1981 LRC and my bow rails after repair. When I purchased it almost two years ago, both bow rails were broken due to a marina sign falling across it. Both teak rails busted. I had my wife's nephew...

I have 900MA Racor Primary filters on my 453 Naturals, which I have been using the 2 micron filters in. It seems to clog up pretty fast. I was thinking about going to the 10 micron filter. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, captbuddy
