That would have been helpful. Its an '86 36' Sedan. '86 Crusder 454 (350hp). Here is the best picture I have of the exhaust flow, I can try to get a better picture later this week.

We finally got our boat ready to fish, so I took the family down to the boat to clean her up and meet a carb guy to adjust the ratios on the Rochester's (they were running a bit rich after a recent rebuilds). I was starting up the stbd engine to warm her up and, mistakenly, gave it one too many...

This one seems appropriate here..... Glad this thread is back.

Over the weekend I was installing a transducer plate on the keel, centerline lowest point, of my transom. I made the plate slightly oversize to be able to add on in the future, if needed, and used 4200 and 4 screws to the fasten it. When I drilled out the lowest hole, about 2-3 coffee cups of...

Newb Question: I'm installing two down riggers, which call 8 gauge wire for up to 15' and 6 gauge wire for up to 20' away, with a 30 amp breaker inline to the riggers. The instructions state to run everything straight to a battery, which I'd rather not do. My plan is to tie into an unused...

Is there a "go to" wax or compound anyone can recommend? My hull is a little chalky as the PO hadn't waxed it in some time. I'm assuming, being that it is painted, that we need a very minimal cut and more of a polishing product? Anything product that's tried and true?

Can anyone tell me the correct name for these footrests? I've searched every possible name, that I can thing of, but nothing brings these up.

I know this might be a stupid question, but I'm seriously considering yanking the old genset, so I figured I'd ask it. Do I really need the onboard generator? I'm finding some of the parts for our '86 Gas Onan 8kw generator extremely hard to find. The PO had pulled some of the water pump...

Its a little worn, but it looks like 1.25 to me. Here is a picture.

When we purchased that boat, I was not able to get full RPM's on the Crusader 350's, only ~3500 rpms WOT. During the trip home we checked throttle cables, replaced plugs, burnt plenty of fuel to rule out water, changed filters etc. and were still only around 3500 rpms. So this winter I've...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Is there a certain place to buy v-berth sheets/comforters? Our 36 has what seems to be a custom made mattress, and is one piece. I'd like to find some sheets to fit, and possibly a memory foam pad. (thinking of just cutting my own memory foam topper at this point)...

For those of us that must winterize, how do others properly winterize their fresh water system? We have an RV which is cake to pump antifreeze through, but when looking around the engine room of our new boat I'm trying to figure out where to start. We have two expansion tanks, one for main...

Decided to just add them in multiple posts.

My wife and I are pretty excited to be the new owners of a 36 Series II Sedan. I know this is a baby Hatt, compared to most, but its our first "big" boat that we're going to fish with our young family on. Due to Covid, the trip home was much longer than it really needed to be. Being that we...

I'm not sure if I should have posted this thread here instead of on the Sand Bar, so I'm posting here as well. https://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?34161-36-Convertible-w-454-s If this isn't supposed to be duplicated, please let me know and I'll delete. Thanks.

My wife and I are looking for our next boat to enjoy with our young family. With 3 kids all under 6, we need something with some interior room so we can enjoy our northeast summers. We want something that can fish (troll for salmon in Great Lakes), and fit us for hanging out on weekends and...
