I've done it twice now. First on my 79 43C then on my current 86 45C. The 43 was all 120v. I put in a Ramblewood 2 burner cooktop and a 120V small Verona wall oven. It was a tight fit, but worked.
The 45C had a sort of 240V stove. They ran 240 to it but it split in the stove with one leg...
Can someone tell me the size of the fuel line from the tank to the primary Racors on a 79 37C? It's 90 minutes away from home and I need to order a couple of fittings.
I replaced my 8D 12v batteries earlier this season and was disappointed to learn that I could no longer find batteries with bolt type terminal posts so I was forced to buy adapter clamps from local auto parts stores. They are not what I would call high quality. They are a lead alloy, and at...
After getting the ever loving snot kicked out of me on a 3 day trip offshore last month, I'm considering making a significant upgrade to Ambrosia Mae. My research seems to be pointing me to either a Seakeeper 6 or a Smartgyro 20 unit. I'm looking for knowledgeable feedback on the two systems...
I can't locate the raw water inlet thru hull that supplies the head. The hose routes back towards the ER from the toilet but I don't see where it ends. It could be under the companionway floor, but I don't want to have to tear up the carpet unnecessarily. Anybody know for sure where it's...
Does anyone here have any experience with a Seakeeper in a 45C? I just spent 2 nights fishing offshore and got the snot kicked out of us snap rolling in 5 - 6 foot seas. I did a little research on them and it appears that I'd need the Seakeeper 6 to handle the dimensions and weight of my 45...
My stbd side light/receptacle breaker trips when the genny is running, but not on the dockside power. I do notice that the lights are a little brighter when on the genny and that my ac alarm clock runs a little fast. I had the same symptoms in my last Hatt, but without the breaker popping...
I'm going to look at an older (1989) Avon rib. Apparently it's been in storage for 30 yrs and only has 40 hrs on it. Other than the age and obvious concern about the condition of the tubes, does anyone have any familiarity with these?
Through unfortunate circumstances, my daughter's boat has a seized stbd engine. It will be rebuilt over the winter, but I still need to run antifreeze through the cooling system.
I believe I can use a pump and push it through via the zinc fitting on the raw water pump. Can anyone tell me if...
The frames on my daughter's 1979 37c are in rough shape, and the glass is starting to delaminate. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone to make replacements with composite frames?
My daughter is considering moving on from her 79 Hatt 37C, and wants to look at a 2003 37' Riviera with Cummins 6bta 5.9's at 370hp. I'm not familiar with the boat or the engines. 5.9 liters is 360 cu in, so the hp seems a little high to me relative to the cid. Anyone here familiar with the...
As a couple of you know, I've been working on my daughter's boat since the tragic loss of her husband back in April. I sea trialed it today after replacing the injectors in both engines (6-71ti). We pulled back into the slip and we're fine tuning the idle when the blower apparently seized up...
Working takeout from my daughter's '79 37C. I couldn't seem to get the system to keep a prime on the output side of the system, and finally gave up, bought a new toilet, and removed the old system. Only after removing all the wiring and hoses did I cut the main 2" line from the toilet to slide...
I'm trying to source replacement door handle/lock for my daughter's 37. I believe it is a Razeto & Casareto, but I can't seem to find the exact model. Pic below. Any suggestions?
