Well after that dog fight with the steering helm it seems I've introduced another issue (2 actually). The engines roll right over. However, Temp, Volts, op and gear pressure are dead with the engines running. And ordinarily with the engines off, as soon you turned the keys to on, they would...

Time to rebuild the helm on my 48 CNV. I cannot get the steering wheel off the shaft. Several days kroil, PB blaster and just leaning on the wheel puller way more than I would like. Boat is an 1989....any suggestions? TIA

So this busted Turbo clamp has now morphed itself into lets service all four turbos on my Covington 8V92 TA's And to be fair, I'v owned the boat since 2004 and have never serviced them. Giving them a hard look after the V Clamp breaking, there is some caked on soot. Engine with the busted...

Searched the forums and didn't really find an answer. Has anyone ever done a mobile DIY pump out station? Ie: plastic 50 gallon drum on a cart with a pump and the associated plumbing and connectors. And if so' which pump did you use? 120vlt on the dock, seems like an easy project. I said...

Busted a Turbo V Clamp on one of my Covington 8V92’s. It’s the smaller one on the exhaust side. Would anyone happen to know the Part # for this V clamp? I got a new one from Diesel Pro and while the diameter is correct 5.75” in closed, the width doesn’t seem to be right. The new one is much...

So we've got a constant Stb Engine alarm on (1989 8v92, Covington, Boat is a 48' CNV). Engine, gear, EGT are all fine. Gauges indicate everything is happy. Spoke with Les Henderson (really good and gracious guy) about trying to figure out where to start on the debug. Where in the Hatt...

Hi Folks, The Onan 15KW on Top Shelf has always been pretty reliable and bullet proof. It had been a month or so since I ran it and this past weekend I went to start it but the battery was low and wouldn't light it. I turned the 12vlt battery charger on overnight and the next morning it spun...

I've added Start switches in the ER and would now like to add Stop switches. It seems like I have no voltage on the two posts of the stop solenoid, engine running or not. The Blueprints and schematics are a little confusing to me. But it does seem like there is a terminal block and fuse...

Hi Folks, I thought I remembered seeing a thread or two on this but can't seem to find them. Do you need a real digital "air antenna" or would the original Glomax (analog I'm assuming) Hatt installed work? Some "knowledgeable??" guys tell me there is no difference. The Glomax is in a good...

Well the cockpit freezer gave up the ghost. I'm pretty sure it's the original and after 20 years I'm sure it doesn't owe me anything. The thermostat is marked Frigibar Industires, Miami and it looks like the compressor is Techumsa (SP??). 120 volt AC. It slooooowwwwllyyy died on us this...

Some of you guys may remember my previous thread about my 1K# Marquipt that was leaking hydraulic fluid several months ago. Well with a little encouragement from the forum and a $10K estimate from Marquipt I decided to dig into it myself. It was as advertised pretty srtaight forward and mainly...

Well it 's time for Top Shelf to come home from San Sal. But the last time out deep dropping down here I could hear the port shaft chirp or sing when I go in neautral. Now this is a new problem and when I went under the boat to check it out everything seemed fine. I can recreate the chirp as...

Just noticed some hydraulic fluid leaking onto my half tower top. Sure enough the helm on the tower was leaking and the hynautic system is slowley losing pressure. What it looks like is one of the flare nuts on the poly tube where it enters the helm is dripping. It doesn't seem to be the helm...

Just noticed a bunch of gear or hydraulic oil coming from my 1989 1000# Marquip. The cable was backed off and when I raised the boom, it was clear the fuid was coming from up in the boom and not from the motor or pump in the base. I've got the manual but there doesn't seem like much in there...

Anybody on the forum have any experience with this product or have one installed? Basically a flowmeter for your potable system with a remote read out....Thx. www.watercounter.com

Well sort of, more like a limp away...I've got a Onan 15k MDL3. It's an '89 and has always been extremely reliable. Aside from oil changes, fuel filters and the occaisional belt adjustment, it's been golden. One thing I always fretted about was the secondary fuel filter change and the Racor...

Well after a week on the hard the travel lift is putting the boat in the well, I do the preflight, yard guy is checking the rudder stuffing boxes. He says the stb side is leaking pretty badly. I hand him a 3/4" wrench and head up to the office to leave my firstborn. As I'm writing the check...

Well we talked about this a few months ago. A little dribble down the weep hole on the port main coolant pump. I painted it over a couple times and in each case and after few hours it was back. So I just replaced it. My question is....the stb main coolant pump seems to be fine. In other...
