Looks like I will be moving to the Hernando County area of Florida for a while. The job is in the Spring Hill area and ideally would like to dock at Hernando Beach. The lady at the marina said my 4'10" loaded draft isn't an issue but others tell me it is. She said my length and beam are the...

My a/c condensate sump and shower sump did not have check valves in the bilge pump discharges when I purchased my boat. Last year I installed one in my a/c sump because I was tired of water flowing back through the pump and standing pretty deep in the sump. After installing it sometimes the pump...

I used my 32 volt Galley Maid Windlass to pull anchor several times since I bought boat. In March we pulled 600' of rode with no issue. Went out a couple weeks ago and had about 750' of rode out. Started pulling in and the windlass started kicking breaker. I was running toward anchor to keep...

The part number to my 12V71 is Delco 1117733. I bought a replacement as a spare from Motor city Reman https://www.motorcityreman.com/7265n.html I cannot attest to its longevity as I never installed it however it appears to be a proper replacement when held next to the old one.

Noticed a split in the outer sleeve of one of the fuel lines that comes out of the filter to the engine on my 12V71 port engine. Decided to bring home and replace it. The jack asses that used spray paint on the engines at one point sprayed all the lines making the numbers hard to read but the...

Bert is that the part number for the 7" clamp on intake side or the smaller one? I went to Marine Systems today and they were very helpful. Basically told me same thing as your mechanic. Although RG Ray still makes the clamps they are proprietary to Detroit so they are a Detroit part number...

The 7" one is on side toward the air silencer. It is the one with white paint on it on the picture. The other clamp I need is in the 5-6" range and is the one on left side of oil line with soot on it. The guy from Marine Systems called me today. Said they have been having trouble but finally...

My turbo Model is CV8101. I cannot get a response from the vendor I gave this information to. They were very helpful at first but will not return emails or texts. I may go back by there next time I am in NOLA if I dont get resolved elsewhere. I did get a response from R G Ray this am that...

When I bought my boat last year the mechanical surveyor recommended I replace the failing wire reinforced hoses to the block heaters with silicone hose. I did that as well as changed coolant. Last winter I ran the block heaters quite a bit due to the weather and seemed like there was always a...

After reading the posts about the Sikolene and CAT selling a 3M product that was cheaper I decided to reach out to a friend of mine that works parts at our local CAT dealer. He said 3M no longer makes CAT products and Loctite makes them now. He called his marine division to verify (as they...

Update on the progress. Used the double nut method and was able to break all the studs loose except one. I then realized they are so long they run through both the air intake and the intercoolers thus the intercooler would have to come off too or I would have to cut a hole in the floor under the...

Costa Rica is a good place to fish. Wife and I went to Crocodile Bay Resort for our 30th anniversary. Its a fishing resort but thats what we enjoy. Headed to Quepos in February. I will say though that we are spoiled by the fishing off the Louisiana coast and haven't found much better saltwater...

Stats show the average person has sex 89 times a year. Looks like I am in store for a wild December!

These are pics of the turbo and boroscope. Not sure if I need to remove the flaps and inspect the intercoolers or if the amount is not enough to warrant this. Any comments either way are appreciated. Not sure what the rod is for in this last picture but thats about as far as I could get the...

On the maiden voyage back in April I ran on cruise for about 200 miles. When we got to the destination nothing appeared out of ordinary in the engine room. A week or two later I happened to notice a spot of soot on the aft side of the exhaust blanket on the far starboard turbo. I hadn't run the...

I have a Uniden Wham accessory VHF mic. It powers up but the rechargeable battery needs replacement. The receiving unit on my radio was bad so I have no need for the Wham. Free to anyone who will pay shipping. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/M1AAAOSwi-dbtq~I/s-l1600.jpg

Anyone know how to test the thermistor on the subject control system? My salon a/c control is giving me some weird numbers. Showing inside temp at 19 but set at 76. When I try to do the factory reset and adjust the offset it will only let me adjust it to 40 or something. Almost like its reading...

I found two Baldwin BR855 fuel filters in my boat. I assume they went on the old generator as they dont fit anything I can find. Free to anyone that can use them. New and still in packages.

The 32V combo masthead/anchor light on my boat has seen the end of its life. It uses a surgical lamp type bulb that is almost impossible to find and now the plastic housing has broken. I am having difficulty finding a similar lamp however I did find a Perko 1197 combo that uses either a 12V or...

Does anyone know a part number or source for a blower motor that will fit a Cruisair EBO10C evaporator unit. The bearings are starting to squeal on startup and I know its going soon. It is located behind a wall panel and sofa in the salon. Accessibility is an issue and I want to have the right...
