I have a 1980 37C with Johnson and Towers 671N's. I am seeing some steam while running coming from the starboard exhaust. Oil analysis showed elevated level of sodium, pressure tested coolant but found now leaks, so assuming raw water side. What may be the likely place to start looking for the...

After starting my 671N 's today on a 37C, the stbrd engine alarm started to go off. The PO added raw water flow alarms that I assume are wired into the standard Hatteras engine alarm. Good oil pressure, I cleaned the raw water strainer, which was really plugged up, and I thought for sure this...

I have an IR temp gun and checked my shaft log temperatures after running for an hour or so, port-75 degrees f and 69 degrees f. These seem reasonable to me, but I have don't know what the actual temperature range should be. They are Buck Algonquin conventional shaft logs.

Before I try this I wanted to check with members of the forum. I read , I believe it was here, that when changing my Racor 1000 filter elements that I can top off the canisters with Diesel Kleen instead of diesel. It would be more convenient to use Diesel Kleen. Thanks Scott

I have a 37C with the shore power connection in the cockpit. I connected the cord the other day, and had no power coming to the panel. I replaced the 2 slow blow fuses that are directly underneath the shore power connection in the cockpit and had power. My question is, there are 2, 30amp fuses...

I did a a really stupid thing. While my boat was hauled out last spring for bottom paint, zincs, ect, I had a few minutes before it was to go back in the water and I thought I'll check to see if the trim tabs are working properly. I lowered them down, climbed down the ladder, and to my horror...

I need a new helm seat for my 1980 37C, I would like to find a used Murray Brothers or similar. Condition of the wood is unimportant to me as I am looking for a winter project.

2 1/2" broke off the end of my dipstick today, 1980 37c and I sure the dipsticks are original and the tubes have quite an "S" bend to them. I am struggling to get the tube off to see if I have lucked out and the piece is stuck somewhere inside, but worst case, if it has fallen into the pan, will...

For the second time in as many years, I find myself having to replace my fresh water cooling pump. It's Relabilt from Detroit Diesel, when the pump arrived I opened the box and found there were no gaskets inside. This is for a 671n and is driven off the blower. Should I be using a gasket here...

I would like to install my Heart Freedon 20 charger/inverter (2000w). I think I have most of it figured out with the exception of wiring the panel. My panel, as you can see in the picture below, is split into two sides. I only want inverter power going to boat's recepticles to run the tv...

While finishing one job, I came across another. I just finished repacking the stuffing boxes on my 1980 37 C with lots of help from this forum, thanks again. But while I was working on the stuffing boxes I noticed the copper supply and return fuel lines run low in the bilge beside the stuffing...

I discovered a fuel leak on my strbd side 671n today. It is leaking from some kind of a sensor monted on the secondary fuel filter housing. The sensor has 2 wires running from it, is this a sensor for some kind of low fuel pressure alarm? Thanks Scott

Where might the tach drive be on a 1980 vintage 671N? Thanks

This is a picture of my deep cycle 8D house batteries on my 37c. I am about to install an inverter, and one of the electricians that looked at the job said that these batteries are wired incorrectly and will not draw down evenly. Just wondering what other members of the forum think? Thanks Scott.

I miss my boat so much when I am on the road I got myself a new car.

I just picked up a new inverter/charger from Ebay, well ,it's new but a private sale and I didn't receive any installation instuctions. It all seems straight forward, and some of the posts on this forum have answered most if my questions, but I wonder if someone could help to choose the correct...

After a wonderful week out cruising the Gulf Islands here in the Pacific Northwest I was heading into my marina at a very low tide through a narrow channel ,at dead slow speed, and the starboard propeller hit a rock. I hauled the boat today and the tips of all four blades are damaged, so I...

I bought a new fresh water pump today. It is a demand type, so no more accumulator tank and no cycling after the water is shut off. Hopefully it will be much quiter.My question is the old pump had 3 wires running to it; red, yellow and green, the new pump has just red and black, can I wire the...
