Just had one of my original Cruisair Compressor units give up the ghost on my 53 foot Extended Deckhouse. I have 4 units from 1983. A wonder that they have lasted this long but don't think that they make them any longer. Anyone have any luck in retrofitting something? Does anything work with...

Seems like one thing after another! The AC in the master stateroom on my 1983 53' Extended Deckhouse has gone out. After diagnosing with a tech through a small access hole, we determined that that the only thing wrong is the blower/fan motor. Now the hard part. I cannot see a logical way to...

Hello everyone! Yesterday, I lost power to on one of my power inlets because it went bad. The part says Hubbell 231A when I removed it. I cannot find that part number anywhere. I tried to use a Marinco plug from West Marine because I wanted it right away. The problem is that the plug...

Our fuel gauges are not working and are stuck in the position that I assume the last owner left them. On our53 Extended Deckhouse, I have two tanks that are centerline close to midship, one forward of the other. Both of the gauges are read through a hole in the floor in the hallway. Our...

Hey gang, Yesterday I fired up the engines to stretch her legs and, at the lower helm, I could not shift the starboard engine into forward. Went into reverse. It was late in the day and waited til today to investigate further. Yesterday, by the way, had checked the transmission fluids and...

Hi everyone, Back again and I am going to embarass myself today but don't know what else to do. We have a Kohler generator (model # 20ROP63) from circa 1983 which runs fine. We had to replace the raw water pump which is done and have done some other necessary repairs on the boat to take it...

I have a 1983 53 foot Extended deckhouse with 4 old cruisair units. We had a bad triac which was replaced on the salon unit. Now I am told that the triac for the AC water pump has gone out and we temporarily bypassed it so that the pump stays on 24/7 and the AC units won't shut down. My tech...

Have a 1983 53 foot Extended deckhouse. The valve in the middle bathroom is not functional and I need to replace the hose in the aft/master bathroom. The hose to the shower goes into the wall and attaches somewhere behind the wall. Before I start tearing things apart, what is the best way to...

Have 4 old cruisaires on my 53 ED MY. The one in the salon (I think it is a 24k btu split unit) seems to be having a weird malfunction. The air gets ice cold and the ac seems to run until it cools to the desired temperature when the heat kicks on. I move the selector on the thermostat from...

Got home last night and noticed a severely reduced flow from ac water pump. Discovered that somehow a fish got into the water intake. Cleaned it out but noticed that the piping and strainer are in poor condition. Replacing this Perko water strainer looks to be hugely expensive and cannot get one...

I just purchased a 1983 53' Extended Deckhouse MY. The genset runs but the raw water pump (part # B-265089) is dripping and needs to be replaced. When I go to the Kohler site, the pump is almost $900!!!! I have located a Jabsco pump that looks very similar (Jabsco Pump 1673-1001). Does...
