A temporary jumper wire from the sender on the problem engine to the lead to the other gauge will tell you if it is the instrument or the sender/engine. I always put a threaded nipple and tee on the oil port so that I can attach a small mechanical gauge on one side and the sender on the other. I lik...

Is there any play in the distributor shaft? Either up and down or side to side?

Rawleigh

Thank goodness!

Rawleigh

Faria makes an inexpensive one for gas. I don't know about diesels. Of course the old Glendenning automatic synchro's used to be the ticket on diesels.

WOW, congratulations! You earned that beer!

Rawleigh

I have always put both on "Both", for better or worse. It has worked that way since 1966.

Tony: I just added a pipe nipple and tee to the old bottom port and used that to feed the pumps from. I left a pipe plug in one side of the tee for a drain. My boat is in a boathouse so the bilge us usually dry and not a problem. If there is room up top I was thinking you could use a fuel tank type ...

Matt: I think there are conventional hinges with removable hinge pins that would work. Maybe something like this or larger.

The only problem I have with those is they are toe killers!

Tony: I cut a Beckson deck plate into the top of my old tank. I was able to give it a good cleaning and retrofit more modern fittings from inside the tank. It is a lot easier than retrofitting and I think the old tank is stronger than the plastic ones. If you are concerned about leaching, let some w...

Carl: Do you think a Speedi sleeve would work if the shaft has a groove in it?

Rawleigh

There is a high heat JB Weld too.

Grade 8 bolts don't rust as bad as Grade 5, at least in my experience with heavy equipment.

Rawleigh

I use Nord when on an unsecure network for work.

Rawleigh

Nice job!

My Gieco coverage is limited to the Chesapeake Bay.

Rawleigh

I imagine it is just a bigger screen. Probably need a new mount.

Rawleigh

Use a Dremel with a carbide burr to get the broken off part flush if needed. Center punch and use a left had drill on it. Go a little undersize and try to stay out of the threads if you are going to reuse the coupling.

Rawleigh

I have mine through Boat US. Gieco I think.

47 years young!

"First you make a Roux . . ." Great old times! RIP UV!

Rawleigh

I still love my 2010. Can you still get chart updates for them?

Rawleigh

Is there room enough to epoxy another piece of plywood over the damage to sister it?

Rawleigh

Tony: My Godfather, who was my Dad's childhood best friend and like a second dad to me bought it new. My earliest boating memories are on it. He gave it to me about 20 years ago. He passed away in January of 2018. It has been in the same boathouse since new.

Rawleigh

Mine was $17k and change in 1966.

Rawleigh

Sweet!!!

Rawleigh

I took the old boards and epoxied 3/8 plywood to the back, cut out large rectangular doors and epoxied in inside stops around the doors. I painted them in Easypoxy and made the doors out of starboard hinges at the bottom with two Southco pull out latches. I had made my deck go out to within 1/4" of ...

If you have skinny double jointed arms or a small child to shove into the locker below the helm you can reach over the liner and get to the front of the flybridge at least.

Rawleigh

+1 on the worksharp. You may have to get the extra guard that has different angles on it depending in the kit you get.

Rawleigh

We are good on the gas. Truck delivery at dock and also we have checked with the marina in Coinjock and they are open to transits.

Rawleigh

Yes on mine.

Rawleigh

Well, we got our travel passes from NC. Now if the weather only holds!

Rawleigh

I should be picking up a 36 Luhrs with a friend on Friday in Manteo, NC and running back up the IC to Norfolk, then up the Bay to the Rappahannock River. I hope to be home Saturday afternoon at the latest. If the weather is good and we can get another boat to go with us for safety, we may run up the...

Rawleigh

Good job. What is the stripper that you used? Would you recommend it to others?

Rawleigh

Yannis: By the time you pay the mechanic a couple of times you will have paid for the pump!

Rawleigh

Sorry, I cannot get to her right now. The hoses run from special oil plugs with a small sump in them. The pump is reversible and also puts the oil back in out of a large container. Pretty slick I think. I got a deal on it as a kit.

Rawleigh

I installed a built in oil changing pump.

Rawleigh

What is "GD stock"?

Rawleigh

Take care of yourself Yannis!!

Rawleigh

This is getting to be a real pain in the butt! So many points of contact each day it is hard to stay safe. Out on the boat would be the safest place.

Rawleigh

Jack: I honestly like the gloss white. It is easy to keep clean and as slick as glass. I feel like the light gray part that I did with Bilgecoat is stained and dirty. Get a small can of the POR 15 and try it out in a spot. It is not supposed to have any pores to allow it to stain. This is the link t...

Rawleigh

I once sent a dictated text to my sister that was supposed to say "I am standing in the kitchen talking to Mom." It came out "I am standing in the kitchen naked with Mom." Needless to say that got a phone call from my sister! LOL!

Rawleigh

I used Bilgecoat, but when I rebuilt one engine I used POR15 Whitecoat. I think they call it something else now, but it makes a nice hard gloss white finish. I am very satisfied with it.

Rawleigh

Yannis: Normally the alignment is done once it is back in the water, since that is the way it will run. Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Yannis: How are thing in Greece? I hope you and yours are doing OK through this. Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Sounds like a great plan! Refueling is your greatest risk for infection. Wear disposable gloves and a N95 mask. Don't let them get too close and slather up in soap or sanitizer when you leave the fuel dock.

Rawleigh

These might work. Expensive though.

Tom check this cabin door out Maybe you can do something like this.

Nice looking boat, but I wonder why they didn't glass in the shaft logs when they were doing all that work?

Rawleigh

Wow, Bob, I am so sorry to hear about your wife! I will keep both of you in my prayers. Rawleigh
