Original Monel Exhaust Riser - Repaired? Looks like the original 1976 Monel exhaust riser only lasted 46 years on my 1976 43DC. Next thing you know, the 903's are going to start burning oil. Everybody knows what pieces of crap those 903's are (smirk). I think I know the answer to this...

I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but I have to ask again as I have a HVAC tech coming out in next couple of days to look at. I just launched boat few days ago and tested out systems, including A/C system. The compressor on a 10 year old Dometic R22 16,000 BTU condenser...

There have been allot of cool new boats hauled at my marina this year. Latest one is an 88' 100% carbon fiber Delta motor yacht that only weighs 50 tons and cruises at 30 knots. We were joking last night it was the future "Exodus" (name of my boat), I told him I needed a few years of...

Does anyone have the below 2 panels for an Onan MDJE sound shield they can part with? One is the panel that comes off without tools for access to oil dipstick and fuel filters. The other is on the side of the flywheel and water pumps. I took them off few months ago and for the life of me I...

Curious, does anybody have a rule of thumb regarding refinishing external teak by a 3rd party? Way I see it - comes in 2 flavors - Complete take down to bare wood with 6-8 coats OR yearly maintenance of 2-3 top coats over existing. About every other year or so a new group of teak finishers...
