I've been trying to sell - practically give away - my boat for a few weeks. I have it listed on Craigslist for $12,000. I had it on Ebay for a while with a minimum bid of $10,000. I've gotten some hull kickers but I think it's mostly due to the "Big Boat, Small Price" syndrome; none of them have...

Have 4-53's. Wednesday cruised to Topwater Grill for supper, about 1-1/2 hours each way. On the way there both engines were perfect. On the way back running at 2100 RPM, almost immediately the port engine started surging occasionally. Would surge up 200 RPM and right back, maybe 1 second up and...

I have posted here a couple of times trying to figure out how to install an autopilot on my '66 34DC with the Crowell Helm. The Crowell doesn't have a way to connect the fill line to the autopilot pump. After consulting with tech support at several AP manufacturers it became apparent that it...

I'm planning on aquiring some electronics later this year and am starting my research. The problem I've encountered is with the autopilots - the hydraulic pumps require a return line to the helm. My Crowell Steering head doesn't have a third inlet for this return line. in fact the manual shows...

On recommendation of people here I bought some AJX - TCS and TMS. (For some reason when I search on these I don't get any hits, but I know I read about it here). Anyway, my question is about how to use it. The bottles are not very descriptive. Just say something like use it as part of your...

1966 34DC , Previous owner repowered with DD 4-53's. Cruise speed 8.5-9 kts, WOT about 9 kts. Bottom line is I want to be able to go closer to the speed the boat was designed for. In a previous thread I asked about other diesels and it seems the 260HP Yanmars would probably be my best bet...

1966 34DC with DD 4-53's I have 2 8D batteries. Port Battery starts the port Engine, Stbd Battery starts stbd engine and runs the house DC, currently only 3 bilge pumps and a radio. They each have their own on/off switch and there is a third on/off switch that combines the batteries. (Always...

I have a 1966 34' Dual Cabin. Originally had Chrysler 440's, when I bought the boat it had DD 453N's at 137 HP per side. She does 8.5kts WOT, 7.5 GPH total. This is pretty economical cruising but I would like to go faster, and some of the posts I have read on repowering 36's, they seem to go...
