We're hauling out our 46c tomorrow for a little driveling vibration and some bottom paint. While we are there I am thinking of adding some underwater lighting. Anybody have suggestions? I'm leaning toward Lumitec and the Seablaze X2 line. Either doing 4 or 5. I prefer to stay away from the...

My buddy has a 1982 61' CPMY. It has 12v and 32v systems. From the factory what were the gauges and senders wired for ? 12v?

I found this crack in my showerhead while pulling a turbo. Is it a problem? Its all under the hose.

Avenger, here's the tag I pulled the easy off tonight. I've got oil in the intercooler and some wobble in the shaft.

I'm looking for Turbos for my 8-71s. I have seen 1700 for new ones and everything from 900 to 3000 for remans. Any reccomendations? Mine have some end play and are letting oil into the intercooler. They haven't come apart so I guess they would be eligible as cores ( they seem to be about 700).8

Freshwater since birth 8-71 TI's in my boat. They have ran up to 180 when pushed up past 17-1800 rpm since I got the boat. Like most they build little heat at idle. Now my stbd. side tries to get up around 190 if I push them. Port is still hanging tough at 180. So I changed the impeller on...

The factory wood on the interior of our 78 46C is still in excellent condition. But I would like to give it a little deeper gloss. What are my choices to give it a deeper shine? Poly? What kind of prep?

The wife called me into the boat the other night and said the galley sink wouldn't work. I went into the ER and hit the prime switch on the Galleymaid pump. I opened a few faucets and let it run. No problems. I did find a small leak on one hose coming off the pump. No problem, tightened a...

We can't find where the crank case is ventilated on my 15kw onan. The reason I am looking is an intermittent oil use issue. I am suspecting an intermittent crankcase overpressure. Sometimes it uses no oil in 48 hours. Some times I am pouring a gallon of rotella in the thing at 0200 in my...

I've got the original marine air units on our 46C. Obviously they're loud. Not bad enough to pull out running equipment though. Question is, are newer units of the same size going to be any more efficient?

Never ran the midship or the saddle tanks dry. I have controls under the cockpit deck to control what tank the port and starboard engines pull from AND return to. Question is, can I control the fuel supply to the factory 15kw onan? Best I can tell from the drawings and what I can see in the...

There is an open outlet on the Direct TV dish by our slip. I have Direct TV at the house. I called Direct TV to add a receiver to our account. The only way to do it was to have a technician come out and hook up the box. I don't want to waste a workday waiting on some guy to come onto my...

The Onan 15kw on the boat only has about 1700hrs on it and runs great. BUT, it's loud as hell in the salon. Definitely gonna keep it for a while so... Probably time to do some work on the factory soundshield. The front 1/2 cover over the filters and oil fill doesn't even have insulation...

We received a lot of paperwork with our boat (78 46C) but don't have anything on the windlass. When you hit the line in pedal (the only pedal) you just hear the solenoid click. I haven't had a chance to check voltage at the solenoid yet. I also haven't been able to get the drum to free spool...

Been working on the 46C when time allows (not much). Got a lot of things sorted out and but the STBD throttle still isn't right. STBD throttle on both stations falls off (returns to idle) when you set it. PORT is fine. PORT throttle is the slave for the synchronizer. This happen with the...

While we're at it. What is this panel for? I never remember to investigate when I have another person on the boat to operate the switch. I have 4 bilge pumps but I don't think that's it. Tank selection is by mechanical valves. 1978 46C. I can make the different lights come on in various...

We recovered this boat after Hurricane Katrina/Rita. Memory tells me it was a 60 ish cockpit boat. It was before my Hatteras days and it was just another job back then. With the talk of buying soggy Motor Yachts on the other thread I started thinking. Did this boat make it? It was in the...
