O.K. I had the manifold replaced on my 318 chrysler I.B., after all agreed the outboard manifold should be replaced (the inboard was replaced the year before by the previous owner) because I was getting steam from the exhaust port. Still getting steam after replacing manifold and riser, any...
Any thoughts on which is better? I plan on refinishing my bow pulpit and swim platform. I dont really like the appearance of cetol but am not sure if it stands up better to the elements
Just a thought, I still have steam coming from the exhaust on my port engine ( 1976 Pacemaker T318's, 1 manifold replaced by previous owner last year, engine does not overheat except at around 3500 - 4000 rpm). Anyway, I'm getting ready to winterize and was wondering what would happen if I...
I have a 1976 Pacemaker with twin 318 Chryslers, original, I'm told. When I get up to about 3000 RPM I notice a fair amount of steam coming from the port engine, just a little from sbd engine. Should I be concerned or is this normal. What are some diagnostic I could use to determine if there...
Ive got a 1976 Pacemaker 30 S.F. with twin 318 chryslers with electronic ignition. Tryed to start engines today, port fine, Staboard would not start, fiddled around a bit, found I had no spark, except when I released starter I did notice a spark. Swapped coils, same thing, heading back to boat...
I recently aquirred a 1976 Pacemaker Sportfisherman with twin 318 c.u. chryslers, each engine has a starting battery only and seem to be interconnected for house loads. I think I need to add a seperate deep cycle battery to each engine and isolate them using 2 batt (1-2-both-off) switches. I'm...
The girlfriend and I plan on visiting California this summer, I'd like to find a boat or marina I could stay in for a week or so, is this something people do in California or should I rethink this plan.<br /><br />Regards and God Bless
I found more info onthe powerboat simulator, it was put out by Chapman, but I cant find any retailers that have it, they say it is out of production, Does anyone out there have a copy they would be willing to share/sell.<br />Regards
Does anyone know where I can find a powerboat simulator. I have been looking for this software for about 6 months now. I bought my current boat 30' Pacemaker sport fisherman in the fall and would like to practice on the simulator before spring launch.
Does anyone know where I can find a manual for a Apelco TridentII Loudhailer (old) Serial # 001555. Thanks, once again, this is a great site, I refer to it on a daily basis

Has anyone had any experience using Home Depot type laminated wood flooring in boats. I have a 1976 30' Pacemaker and want to install a wood cabin sole, the stuff I saw at Home Depot was laminated to plywood not MDF. I thought this would stand up better. The floor would not get very wet, only...
I want to change the flooring in my 30' Paceship. Can I use Home Depot composite flooring or do I have to use a marine flooring. Any help greatly appreciated
I just bought a 1976 Pacemaker Sport Fisherman with fly brige and twin 318 Chryslers. The broker told me it was a 30' but when Ilook up Pacemaker I cant find 30' boat built in '76, only 32'ers. Any help would be greatly appreciated

After running my 1977 Peterborough with 188 HP Mercuiser for an hour or two anD I shut it off, if I try to start it while engine is still warm/hot it will not start. I jump the solenoid to starter and it fires up no problem. My car nut friend tells me to change out the starter/solenoid with...
