Ralph. I changed all 3 cutless bearings on port side and heard you should check alignment after a shaft comes out. I did not replace the shaft but had it checked at General Propellor. Anyway when I first checked it I was getting .040" at the bottom and less than .020" at the top. This remained...

CWW I wish that was something our marina could do. They don't have much technology like that and my understanding is the laser part is done before the shaft goes in to check the struts. I went back down to the boat and tried Sparky's method. While it got the top and bottom the same I still have...

Will try that. It has been in the water for 3 full days now

I was curious if I should be raising the back instead of lowering the front. Or splitting the vertical movement equally between the 4 mounts. I have adjusted the front down approx 2 complete turns of the nuts and haven’t touched the back

It looked centered from behind when she was out of the water. Sort of hard to tell anything inside the boat as the hose is over the tube and the packing box is in the hose. I think the coupling is still supported by the transmission plate so there is no sag. It is resting on the mating part on...

Replaced all three cutless bearings on my port side and splashed Friday. Decided to check the alignment this afternoon as I read it is best to do this in the water. Got the coupling unbolted and there was at least a .020" difference between the gap at the top of the coupling and the bottom. It...

No but haven't gotten into a claim with them

Can you try using a heat gun to see if it will soften up whatever gunk is holding it in? I bet someone put some kind of gasket dressing or sealant on it

The "washer" is part of the screen. Unless someone put some kind of gasket dressing or something to make it stick it should just separate. Here is a picture of the screen so you know what you are looking at...

Yes call Galley Maid and ask for Rick. He can fix what you have or may have an upgrade available. He replaced my rotten cast iron cap for my windlass with cast aluminum.

Nice work. I wish the dude in the lower right hand corner would have fallen asleep and gotten left behind but I know you had to bring him anyway. One day I may need him for something

Does anyone know the torque value for the 5/8" bolts that connect the 2 1/2" shaft coupling to the transmission on a 46C? Transmissions are Allison M20's on 8V71TI. The blueprints gave the procedure for pulling and putting the coupling off/on and gave a torque value of 100-120ft lb for the...

We wound up with 39” in our house. More than the no name storm. Have everything gutted and dehumidifiers going. Thank God fo sending the right people at the right times. Many small miracles. The ole Hat made it fine and we are living on her until we get house dried out. There was a Hat-Terrez...

Isn't that plywood where the rope is laying on the pulpit? I know mine had it in that location. Here is a picture of the replacement. The top skin (below the plywood) is actually the deck glass under the pulpit.

Update to the thread. Still no fix but found multiple issues today which I corrected. Someone prior had replaced some of the terminal ends and spiced some rather thin (estimated 16 ga) non-tinned wire onto the house wiring which appears to be 12 gauge for the main feed and 14 ga for the feed to...

I was having some issues with my boat planing when I first got her and narrowed it down to a couple of things including the trim tabs not going down. It seems sometimes they do and sometimes they dont when using the switch at the helm. If I jump the terminals at the pump, down in the lazarette...

Still need to remove the heavy washers and get the 5200 the prior owner put on them off. I had temporarily placed them on there just to make sure nothing moved. Also need to put lock nuts back on those particular areas and touch up the paint I scratched prying around on the gear box

I used a multi tool to cut the glass so I didn't make as much dust. I was surprised the deck core was only 5/8" thick. The bridge floor on my 55C was 1 1/2" thick when I replaced the core on it. I decided to go with 3/4" marine grade plywood anyways as I was worried about compression with coosa...

My planned winter time project was to remove my Galley Maid windlass and replace the rotten core under the pulpit. The windlass was working fine but noticed some movement when we used it and there were soft spots in the deck near the foot switch. After reading the posts here and watching some...

Here is a photo. It is before I painted the boat so it looks better now. The center plate screws out and the exterior perimeter ring stays fixed to the boat. Looks like it uses a wrench similar to a deck plate to remove as it has two holes in it. I have never unscrewed it as I don't have a need...
