I need to remove my wiper motor, as I believe it is bad. I can't get it down because it gets stuck on my cabin headliner structure. Removing the headliner looks like a beast of a job. Does anyone know if I can remove the shaft from the motor somehow? I can't tell if would come out of the...
I went ahead and copied the spreadsheets. I added a few things in from my original totals so they went up a bit. Still add a bit more onto what you see below for more miscellaneous stuff, plus more in fuel.
I might move this into it's own post too, I remember looking for examples when I was...
I'm doing a transom rebuild (build thread link below). I broke one of the lower carriage bolts with the rubber seal and I'm wondering what kind of hardware I can replace it with. I found bolts with anodes for almost $50, but I don't need the anodes. I wouldn't mind replacing all the hardware...
Thought I would start a build thread on replacing the transom and engine mounts in my 92 Crownline.
I replaced the back half of my floor and stringers in this boat 3 or 4 years ago, and honestly I hated the project. I knew the transom was starting to go but it wasn't bad and I've been checking...
I'm going to be tied up to a dock for a week that has a standard 110 V 20 AMP outlet. Before I buy a 110 15 A --> 30 A shorepower adapter, do you think it will be able to run my air conditioner (and only my a/c)? I don't know the exact information on my A/C unit but it's a 33 ft boat if that...
I have been fighting a long running issue with both my motors running rich. I have 7.4 gls. I rebuilt the carbs last year and it ran great for a while then slowly the white smake started back up a few months later and now its to the point I will see a small fuel sheen on the waters surface...
The pickup tube in my water tank broke off into the tank. My question is do I need to get it out of there? It corroded around the fitting and I'm wonder if it will eat away at the metal of the tank. I believe it was a copper tube like in the picture below.
I ordered a new "Fuel tank pickup"...
My carbon monoxide detector goes off occasionally. Most of the time I understand why. Running the motors in the slip for a while is the most common cause. There have been multiple times though where it will go off 1 to 2 hours after all motors have been shut down.
It seems to never happen if...
My Kohler generator is leaking oil. It's a common issue with these CZ models leaking around the oil pump seal. To fix it I have to pull the generator out of the boat, separate the 2 halves etc. I want to see if I can get through 1 more season before I pull it (I want to spend my maintenance...
I went to check on the boat for the first time in a month and the outdrive is slowly creeping up. I had suspected this on my last visit so I took note and the skeg is almost 2 inches higher this round. What causes this?
I know this isn't boat related but I'm ignorant on 5th wheels and you guys know what you are talking about.
The parents just went and bought themselves a new fifth wheel camper. In the specs it says "2,520 lbs hitch weight", which is 650 pounds more than their old one has as it's hitch weight...
Last spring I rebuilt both carbs because the motors were running rich at idle (in addition to the smell and smoke sometimes you could see a bit of fuel on the surface of the water). I rebuilt one, 2 weeks later did the other. Everything ran fantastic for most of the summer. No smoke, smooth...
This is never what you want to see.
On facebook there is a quote from someone, I have no way to verify this at all.
"It's my Family's boat. They had recently winterized it a couple weeks prior to this happening. Marine max is going through boat but hasn't said how it happened yet??"
I put a new tach in, it works fine, however I know the RPM's are off. There is an adjustment screw on the back to calibrate it, but I'm not sure what tool I can use to set it correctly. I looked for hand-held tachs and those cost more than the one I put on. Can I borrow something from an...
