In a recent rush of blood I found and purchased 2 x Groco ASC-6000 hull strainers. They are unused and still have factory stickers on them. They are too big for my boat so I've now bought 2 x Groco SC-4000. They are for sale cheap - $800 AUD for the pair - about $600USD. I would be happy to...

Hello, Looking please for some help to buy 2 x Groco SC 4000 or 4300 strainers with the ring to fix to the hull. Obviously looking for the best possible price and need shipped to Adelaide Australia. I see them at yachtsupplydepot.com and flagshipmarine.com at good prices but don't know if they...

Hello all, I've just done the raw water Barnacle Buster flush. Seemed to go really well. Everything seems much cleaner and the water in the flushing bucket was unbelievably dirty. The engines are 6V92TTA One thing only seems to have arisen as a consequence. I have a weeping raw water pipe...

As part of the check valve rework the chance came to inspect the coolant pipes under the exhaust manifolds. They were very rusty. They were originally chromed steel. I have pulled all four pipes in total off each motor. Two about a foot long under each exhaust manifold and two "elbows" on...

Hello, Having removed the starter motors to get the check valves I have a starter motor question or 2. Are they left and right handed starter motors for the motors? I have always assumed the counter rotation of the props is dealt with by the Allison M20L and M20R but don't want to fall into...

Hello all, Are these air box drain check valves a specific DDC part or are they available generically? In stainless even? Regards, Bill

Greetings folks, I am doing a more comprehensive than usual engine and trans oil change. Taking more time to redo filter canisters and new hoses etc. When I pulled the Allison M20R filter screen I found some debris. The boat works fine - not that I get any comfort from that. To be thorough I...

Hi all, just looking for advice on merits of engine oil "flush" for my 6V92. Am I trying to love my motors too much or is this practice worthwhile? I've got no idea. I'm happy enough to just drain, change filters and put in Mobil Delvac 40 but if I can do better for the old birdscarers I will...

Has anyone had any experience or views on using electric seacock (quarter turn) valves on their boat. I am considering looking at these for selected parts of the boat (toilet outlet / inlet for example). Obviously these would have a manual turn facility. There are some fairly clever devices...

I've been looking around for some time to upgrade my deck shower located at the transom door. It's great to have a hot shower after a swim. I searched the net and found to my surprise something I thought was better than average so I thought you guys may be interested. It is called the Whale...

Hello - can anyone please advise the starting amps for my 24v system twin 6V92TA motors. I am rejigging my battery system and am wondering if two 120 amp hour 12v AGM's in series (i.e. 24v @ 120a/h) would do the job per side. My aim is to have an engine battery bank for each engine and say a...

I have just found these while browsing - they look like an alternative to having the drain hoses for my engines and trans (6V92's and m20's) cluttering up under the engines. I like the clean look........... You can search for them under "femco speed click" Anyone care to comment on them? I...

Hello all, I need some help please purchasing 2 Racor CCV 6000-08 (L & R) for my 6V92TA's. I have had a couple of emails back and forth with Arctic Marine and have tried to call them to complete the transaction but the 1800 number now has a message saying temporarily disconnected. Does anyone...
