I'm finally getting my damaged headliner replaced on our 46c. I plan on removing the factory DC light closest to the windshield and installing 6 round flushmount LED lights in 3 sets of 2 evenly spaced in the overhead. What have you guys used that you were happy with. Lumitec makes some...

A buddy was asking me about the boat. It's got Manns with a little over 3000hrs. Price is good. Interior looks great, exterior needs paint. He was talking about me heading down to look with him. I didn't want to waste a trip if anyone knew the boat. Thanks

So, I have decided to do an inverter install this winter. Who has the best 12v 3000w inverter charger? Quality/Reliability is the biggest concern and the ability to monitor the battery bank easily is my second. I plan on using a (2) 8d existing bank that just starts the port motor. My other...

Has anyone had experience with Velair yet? Their AC units make some pretty big claims for efficiency and noise reduction. It's a 2 speed unit. One of my suppliers just started stocking them.

We currently have the factory Galleymaid windlass on our 46c. The wife has never cared much for recovering the anchor. Especially the chain that comes up by hand. Has anyone retrofitted a self storing windlass with a chain gypsy on a 46?

Well, now the drain line is plugged up on the OTHER air handler that's in the master stateroom on our 46c. It's in the wall between the stateroom and the saloon. What's the best access point? I have never laid eyes on this one. Thanks

So, I have been having a lot of water in a cabinet in the V Berth. I cleaned it out so I could look around and I see that it's traveling down the condensation line from my forward air handler and the power cables for my windlass and dripping into the back of the cabinet. So I am assuming that...

So, we still have 2 factory cruise air split units. They work like a champ. But the damn air handlers are so noisy. Has anyone addressed this . It's on a 46'c. Maybe insulate the compartments they're in? Improve on the mounting? Anything? I know the obvious answer is replace them with...

46c 1978 vintage. Anybody know where the vent fan is in the guest head in the hallway? I plan on going exploratory some time this weekend. Any intel. prior to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

We woke up at 2am to the smell of boiling batteries. It has not been a good boating year so far. I turned off the DC power and the battery charger and went home. I'm going down at some point this weekend to top off the batteries, charge the with another charger and load test them. If they...

So this is the coupling on my output shaft that bolts to the shaft coupler. As you can see there is a pretty good sized crack running down the length of it. You can only find it by dumb luck when the transmission stops with it indexed up and facing the centerline of the boat. We would have...

So... I'm down to about 3 of these. I probably need at least 4 but 6 would be best. They are the quick release fasteners on the service panel on my soundshield (15kw Onan). What are they called? Any idea where to find them? May go pretty east with Mcmaster-Carr, Fastenal, etc. if I just...

Is this a factory AC Delco Gauge? I'm trying to source some new sending units. I don't see a manufacturers name anywhere on the back of the gauge.

So we have had our 46c for a while now and still love the boat. We have brand loyalty until the day we die. The discussion came up about possibly upgrading before we start traveling with the boat. My main requirements are: 3 staterooms and 2 heads Walk in engine room with cockpit access If...

So I hired a local mechanic to do an alignment for me on my 8-71s. He shimmed all 4 front mounts with pieces of synthetic deckboard... Is that stuff dense enough to not compress? I don't like it. I'm just asking for opinions before I jump the gun.

They're laying on the turbo in the 2nd picture. You can see them laying around the air intake. To me they appear to have the same circumference as the turbo casings around the center. Here's the link by itself.

When I pulled up the carpet I noticed a small exhaust leak coming from between the exhaust and air side on the port outboard turbo. I pulled it off and low and behold their were metal parts inside and a lot of oil on the exhaust side. 2 pieces found inside the turbo are laying on the air inlet...

I removed all of the old carpet and padding in the salon on our 46c. PO had carpeted over everything except one centerline hatch. My question is, has anyone used any kind of sound deadening carpet underlayment that they thought was better that regular carpet padding? I'm primarily concerned...

Looking for onan part# 149-1046. Rebuild kit for my weeping fuel pump. Cant find one. Any ideas?

So we got 4 new cutlass bearings and 1 new shaft (replaced 2 piece) while we were on the hard. Bad part is the yard did not have anyone to do an alignment. I am familiar with the concept. But when I look at my motor mounts they have shims not wedges and obviously no screw pins. So if I...
