During very heavy rains I'm getting water collecting at the bottom of the steps down to the aft stateroom. Anyone have an idea of the route it may be taking? There's no water in the bilge directly forward of that, and doesn't appear to be any in the actual stateroom itself.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good boat transporter on the Texas Gulf Coast. I'm looking to move a 43 DCMY from Lake Travis ( just outside of Austin ) to Clearlake in the Houston area. Robert Tyler

Wanted to get some advice on replacing the cruisair evaporator / blower units in the staterooms on our 1979 43 DC. My AC tech and I are fairly sure there is a refrigerant leak in one of them but he does not have good enough access to them in place to properly test. Has anyone pulled these...

Last fall my MDJE 7.5 started producing +/-160 volts and would trip the field circuit breaker on the VR, and then drop to about +/-45 volts. Sent the VR to Flight Systems, and re-soldering some connections fixed the problem resulting in 120 volts dead on. Last week it started doing the same...

I continue to have voltage problems with my 7.5 MDJE. First it was making about 165 volts ( at 1800 rpms ) and after checking the connections on the voltage regulator and wiring harness it now produces 120 volts but it's unstable occasionally bouncing from 110 to 135 volts. Last weekend I...

Got to the boat tonight and fired up the 7.5 MDJE to excercise it. Getting only 40 volts, rpms seem fine, its not running real slow. It has always put out about 118 volts previously. Any thoughts? Robert Tyler

Has anyone had a problem matching the original tint in their salon windows? I'm looking to replace just 1 window that has a crack in it. Robert Tyler 1979 43 DCMY Lake Travis, Texas

This morning the boat had no water at any of the faucets, or showers. I checked the shore connection, and there was very good pressure, and flow there. Has anyone every experienced a pressure reduction valve going out, or just getting clogged up? I guess it could also be the back flow...

Well, as it turns out my genset did not run out of fuel as I had originally thought. When I got back to the boat I checked the reset button on the service panel, and it did not appear to have activated the shutdown. I checked the fuel supply anyway and determined that it was o.k. I was...

I did something really studpid this weekend, I let my 7.5 Onan MDJE run the forward fuel tank dry. ( 1979 43 DCMY ) The genset is now totally dead, no response at all to the start switch, which I'm assuming is the result of a safety shut down at the control panel. Two questions: First, does...
