I managed to sneak out Monday and enjoy the 70 degree wx here in CT. 3 of my buddies and I anchored over a wreck off New Haven (damn near impossible with a power down windlass, btw) and managed 4 nice keeper tautog. Pretty slow pick, but we all went home with some fillets. Great day on the...
The Hatteras nameplates on my 86 are pretty corroded and crappy looking. I've tried searching the SAMS site to no avail. Anyone know if replacements are readily available?
Or, compromise and do both. I tore down my perforated headliner in my old '79 43C. It was all yellow and had a few tears in it. Basically looked like bloody hell. I cut 6 panel pieces out of 1/4" luaun to fit to my ceiling. One seam down the middle and two seams athwartships. I covered...
That was my post on tht last week showing my 43c ceiling using traditional headliner material glued to luaun panels. I used 3m spray adhesive. I stretched it over the panels and stapled it to he back side. Follow the directions on the 3m spray can and spray both the panel and the underside of...
Well, I took a shop vac and used the blower side and blew thru the hose and muffler. My buddy observed and videoed it from the outside. I didn’t perceive any significant back pressure, and the video showed that the vacuum easily blew out the contents of the muffler. The hose was clearly old, so...
I bought a boat with a Northern Lights NL753k genny a couple years back. Genny starts easily and runs well. No real complaints other than the fact that she smokes quite a bit. Dark gray exhaust smoke. Per the trouble shooting section of the manual, possible causes are:
Clogged or dirty air...
Anybody need this? I bought a used display for my son and it was in it. I doubt that he'll ever take his Stamas outboard to the left coast. Its old dated 07-june-2012. Free to a good home.
I finally had to remove my 3/4 enclosure this weekend. It's been in the boat since I bought it 3 years ago and as expected was quite difficult to remove. It has zippers all along the bottom edge and is constructed in 5 sections. As expected, the zippers would not budge. Too many years of...
My daughter and son in law bought the subject boat last year. I've been doing some digging on it, as they don't have any specs on the engines. Turns out it was owned by one of our own here - Hcalmar, who unfortunately is no longer with us. I've been digging through his posts and see that...
The coolant circulation pump on my NL genny has failed. It's leaking out of the weep hole. I intend to replace it with OEM new pump and rebuild the old one as a spare.
My question is this... Changing the thermostat requires that the pump be pulled, di this is certainly an opportune time to...
I'm going to look at a 10' Apex console type inflatable dinghy with a 40. Seems like a lot of hp for a boat that size. Anybody have any experience with the Apex brand? And what do you think about that much power?
