this repower thread can be applied to any powerplant my problem is i could explain a statement with an entire post but i will leave that to PM`S or for some phone text. example; you need to have three-rod holders on each side of the cockpit evenly spaced. obviouly long rigger, short rigger, and the ...

this forum throws compliments around like "man-hole covers" so a compliment like that from Bob is well received :-D repowering is like driving down a twisting road at night you just have to plan ahead,and with that being said we have to take time out with our diesel fuel planning at this time. like ...

bob lico

the repower subject comes up quite often and somebody always mentions you need to see what your mechanic/marina sells or users BULLS-IT read my lips there is no Yanmar other then the Toyota truck engine marinizes with some help from BMW.the distributor backed out so you can go with Cummins or Cummin...

peter for what it is worth Jeanette and Chris take three or four trips a year to the islands,mexico and they have found snorkeling to be the best family affair in addition to chartering a boat.

tony how about mitering 11" crown with an exact fit on ceiling 18' long all must work together. cabinets must be perfect no tolerance between ceiling and then miter on a 45-degree cabinet.the same procedure doing 31 Bertram interior.

bob lico

tony you would laugh if i told you 90% of the electrical work and 100% of the extensive plumbing was done by my son so he could "brown nose" his mother into making him one of his favorite meals.so much custom work like no visible receptacles in the kitchen granite backsplash or granite island. enorm...

Pete Gemlux has a smart design, pull up instead of push button pop up because the spring in the pop will eventually go bad made with super quilty SS.

bob lico

i would imagine you could call them and inquire. possibly they have leftovers not advertised i have done this in the past with success on my discontinue gauges from Flowscan. Gemlux makes one and only no top screws showing custom rod holders i did my entire boat with these rod holders and they are a...

bob lico

that's what i would do with your present blocks.i left Oakdale Yacht due to conditions beyond my control. Ken the head diesel mechanic also left we probably had 15 Mercruiser, crusaders stacked up. cost about $1200.00 for a complete Mercruiser 454/330hp. using your carb, and accessories but your pro...

bob lico

pete you and i know you don`t go faster you go the same desired speed but you throttle back to get maximum fuel economy. dickson marine along with seaborn saw me with a cup of coffee on the dashboard in 3 to 4 footers. the answer is easy enough the waves are breaking on the bottom midships if you ar...

bob lico

you could make a really nice perfect layout out if you make two drop down trap doors in the cabin. one door over salon bench seat and the other would be even distance from starboard side near the galley. drop door and all bridge electrical along with auto-pilot are laid out on the back wall of bridg...

bob lico

i cannot take credit for scuppers Raybo marine laugh at the OEM. pair and gave me the name for the "real thing" trust me they close and are watertight and whatever material they use it is like new after 12 years, the stainless is 316 use a brass screwdriver to tighten screws and forget for life. the...

never, never, never put bridge electronics on an ENGINE STARTING BATTERY.use house battery or even better yet dedicated battery off triple charging battery charger that would have an isolating diode that will isolate it from other battery banks.i have conferred with the very best of American on ligh...

i am going to give you guys two sentences remember it. A) gas motors have an ignition system that will plague you from the day you install till you tear your hair out. B) gas motors need to circulate salt water thru the entire exhaust system, diesel mix salt water in the exhaust AFTER the exhaust ma...

bob lico

there is also a triple stripe as suggested by Raybo marine like he said it is your signature on a restoration.

bob lico

next time tony remove head ceiling just some # 6 ss screws and you can see the top of pillar raceway and the sidewall of the bridge. i have an actual panel on bridge dedicated to electronics and lighting isolated from entire boat wiring (lightning protection) .

bob lico

i can get you a 28 Bertram 1982 for $2000.00 American dollars located in northern Florida and a pair of Steyr is a thousand percent better than Yanmars

bob lico

hang in there Pete i will get you a pair of Cummins for 25grand-------2020

bob lico

embarrassing, during the rendezvous three people ask about the unique scuppers on my boat. i could not even come up with the first letter of the manufacturer then here it is but they (Gemlux) do not show those ones of a kind SS scuppers, possibly discontinued. they really are a great product and 100...

bob lico

i wouldn`t say without incident!!! we were traveling home and you can hear the distinctive "screaming sound of new cowl air induction" we just installed so we came to the new buoy line that the CG moves from south to north because of drifting sand from winter northeasterners. look like a race course...

bob lico

while on the subject the grandchildren play and sleep in the V-berth. i have installed a complementary beige colored padded leather ceiling and medical grade pull out tv mount with flat screen tv and X-BOX and every other electronic device grandma insisted we need!!!!!! with A/C,Heat, dehumidificati...

bob lico

yes, great sound deadening the fabric has a 1/4" thick padded backing and hides any irregularities from glue traces, in addition, a cushion for the little one sleeping in V-berth. i should have mention i took the same precautions with bleach spray and safety equipment---------bad stuff get rid of it.

bob lico

bob lico

the idea is to remove the carpet because the V-berth is dark and moist, perfect conditions to grow the deadly black mold so it must be removed before considering any washable covering.i install an ostrich print leatherette that can be cleaned with" spray nine" that will also kill germs and mold. htt...

bob lico

the black stain could be black mold and could cause a deadly lung disease. you have to wear a protective mask and remove that ugly carpet. the carpet is glued on from Bertram and can be removed numerous ways.

bob lico

15 boats will come on Friday and Saturday dock is full for Bertram rendezvous. michell park will take any others as first come first serve for dock space.

bob lico

yep have to stay on top at 21 knots or you will get clobbered.

hold on don`t jump the gun. first the front windshield then side windows because the forward seam from window to windshield varies!!!!!!!

bob lico

one hell of hours of labor to have no hinge screws or hinge show on the hatch, never mention it before a definite sign of being anal.i installed internal hinges and remove exposed screws then finished with teak on the back side of the hatch.

bob lico

unbeknown to me this is the storm that blew down trees, rain so hard they had cars floating down the road and all kinds of damage. we went into small craft warnings and then it turns to more than gale warnings in minutes, black sky and nighttime instantly. tony the front windshield has teak cabinets...

YEP leave room!!! at least 1/4" all around hatches are 1/2" smaller than opening/ obviously using a 1/4" plunge router bit to cut the hatch out of precut Coosa port middle and starboard. port and starboard use fly cutter or rabbit cutter 3/4 " no screw in port and starboard center is SS screwed ever...

great that makes 10 have to see about mike and dug

bob lico

the recent update at Mitchell Park for slip reservations are 9 confirm boats and 85 people.

bob lico

another tip is to offset the struct support on the struct. assuming your not to go aground in reverse HA, HA. my entire boat between stringers is 1 1/2" thick by comparison a 32' contender is 3/8" thick.i had the unfortunate experience of seeing one that hit a whale.

bob lico

i had to use longer (10" ) bronze bolts i double nut and then cut flush after photo.bottom of the boat at the point of the struct is over 3" thick.

bob lico

then i epoxy coated each piece of plywood twice and used two layers of biax between.i also layed up a glass tunnel against the stringer for water flow

bob lico

before i started the plywood sandwich i build up the area about 3/4" with cloth than biax.

bob lico

that is an old fashion shunt to read amperage---------totally useless. remove the red wire from the right side of the shunt and connect to the breaker and then throw shunt in a dumpster.you have voltage gauge on dashboard IF you want to monitor amperage (DC) you can have amperage meter in main panel.
