In the new Boat US magazine. (Yes, I joined both Seatow & Boat US). So I get both magazines. They have an article on a person who does the following. He pumps diesel into the Gerry Can, then pumps the diesel from the Gerry Can through the Raco filters into the fuel tanks. He said it took...

If I remove one engine, leaving the transmission in the boat, and the shaft chained off. Do I need to rig a brace for the transmission, if I run the boat on the remaining engine?

There are 14 mounts that are exactly the same or close enough to fool me. And two sets of two each on the bow's railing that are different angles. Ok, Recommendations. Should I change it to stainless steel instead of chrome, or replace with new bases, or repair the chrome? Some are worse in the...

For those that might be interested. I uploaded the picture of the back side of the Steerage Control Panel. (I don't know the right terminology). I uploaded three sizes. That's nice 73k What was that, I couldn't quite make it out. 500k So you want me to read the fine print on which cable...

For our OLD Chrysler 426 Engines, Where do you get your parts from? I have a cheat sheet of part# from Advance Auto Parts that I've use worked for everything but the spark plug wires, so far. Auto places want the car. But I have a boat. They tell me, I can't find it unless it's a car. Well...

Copied from Another thread Information by Maynard Rupp They use an expensive and very neat device called a Vernatherm as a thermpstat. They have a stupid Sherwood Brass Works water pump that has 2 impellers on one shaft. Sort of a piggy back pump. One impeller sends water through the exhaust...

Reminder: I have a 1964 41ft DC My question is should I install Plastic Conduit (smurf pipe) to those boxes? My worry is on chafing of the wire inside the conduit. And I definitely think that having a conduit between the Service Entrance and the electrical panel is a good idea. For futher...

Ok, after I get the pilings installed, then or before, it'll be time to put the storm ropes on the Yatch. However, the "Guide Cleats" that I have in my opinion aren't big enough. Attached are pictures showing a 1/2" line going through them. My storm lines are 1". Leaving no room for anything...

Ok, I've read most of the posts for the last year. Ya'll talked about Hurricanes and how Pilings should be taller than the boat during the Hurricanes. Ok, I've seen 23ft Storm Surge. When you measure storm surge, You look inside a house to ignore wave action. So when you have 10-20ft waves...

Ok, I read this in an earlier post and desire comments on it. I know, I made the title long. REBrueckner on 12-17-2006 wrote Another partial solution: Hang a big zinc over the stern of your boat when dockside. This must be connected to the bonding system. I added a permanent stud,wing nut...

It's been a Long time since I posted and wanted to let everybody know that I'm still here. Been quiet just reading. I'm up to page 130 on the Tech forum. Don't read all of the threads just the ones that interest me or seem interesting from the topic which is most of them. I have 20 links to...

Ok, I admit that I'm a new owner. Not much experience at all. I've been reading about Fiberglass tanks and the dangers of ethanol and condensation. Don't know enough about the chemistry to solve it from that end and really don't care to catch up at my age. I believe that simple solutions are...
