    Westerbeke Will Not Start

    I have a 1989 6.5 Westerbeke ( 99 total hours on it) that has a Fuel issue and its acts like the pump is dead however removing it and testing it on the bench it works great. Installed it back and it will not turn on when trying to start the Gen. Checking Voltage, it shows 9.5 volts so there...

    Flex Plate Replacement Question

    Both engines are standard rotation, glad to find someone who has used these plates. Did the bell housing fit or did you need to grind it. I heard some bell housings had to be reworked. Using this Plate was the noise and vibration reduced?

    Flex Plate Replacement Question

    I'm replacing the old and broke Hurth 630 Trans in my 89 340 Sedan Bridge and decided no matter how the Flex Plate looks its going to be replaced. I told my local dealer what wanted but when I opened the box it was not the normal plate with springs but a 6 point star shaped device which has...

    VacuFlush - Perpetual Clogging

    How hard is the Vinegar on the seals in the head bowl? Reading the various information on the system those seals seem very frail.

    Water in Bilge

    I had the same problem finding a small amount of water after a day anchored out at the cove. Searching for the obvious leak I found nothing after 2 years searching until one night I stepped onto a damp carpet. I found the fresh water lines were leaking in a confined compartment. Almost all...

    not happy, just visited boat....lake has frozen around hull!

    We are located in Aurora, Indiana. Marina under roof, has De-Icers on all Docks running 24-7 now. I also have my De-Icer in( on a timer) but located to shoot water from under the hull which we have found this keeps warmer water flowing and does help keep the bilge temperature slightly above...

    Hurth 630 Filter Cap Concern

    Recently changed out the filters during a fluid change. The cap on the older Hurth seems to be held in by just the O-Ring compression. Is this normal or am I missing something? I have an older Hurth 630 on the starboard and a new 630 on the port, the new Trans I like as it used a screw...

    Macerator Key Switch Problem

    I think your right as I cannot find any solenoid or even a fuse in the circuit. I think the Amp rating on the OEM switch was at least a 15A switch and my replacement may have been only 5A so I ordered a heaver rated switch to try again. I checked what ground I could but the wires go into a...

    Macerator Key Switch Problem

    Trying to determine if Sea Ray wired a Solenoid in the wiring to the Key Switch located in the Head area. I have a 1989 340 Bridge and so far in 2 weeks I replaced the switch twice. Anyone have an idea where a solenoid may be found if there is even one used? The pump works with no problem as...

    CSR Lake Erie Islands 2013 Rendezvous

    Hi Jason, I was talking to a couple at our last Dayton Power Squadron meeting and the upcoming Rendezvous at Kelly's. They are very interested in coming but they do not have any contact information on setting up a reservation or anything else. They own a 300 Sea Ray docked out at Middle Bass...

    No Longer a Sea Water Pump Impeller Virgin!

    Ouch! This one of those PITA jobs which blood, sweat and tears plus a couple of beer breaks is necessary to fix. I used a Silicon Grease Plumbers use on seals to put in the Impellers in all of my boats over many years with no issues. Also a large pillow on top of the Engine allow me to lay...

    Another sad story about a "faulty generator" set up on a boat

    I can speak from experience regarding the store purchased CO detectors having purchased one last year. It works as it has gone off 2 times when we had the engines exhaust blow back into the cabin. In fact the built in detector activated just after the store unit activated. We keep the store...

    Spring, Fall, what is going on?

    Hi Jason, PM me your email, lost it. Those pictures sure tells a story, the lack of water seems to be catching a lot of places such as over on Lake Michigan. We saw similar issues last summer on the Ohio River however the river is flooding now from the recent rains. Maybe this is just a...

    Indianapolis maintenance?

    When I contacted Jim to move our boat it was almost 6 months to the move. He was already setting up transporting all over the map, he is in big demand. It took him 4 days to call me back but he did, have patience. Jim is the only one I trust with my boat.

    Michigan Harbors

    Back in the late eighties we boated out of Saugatuck. Its a sad thing to hear about the depth there now. 2 years ago over on Lake Erie we hit bottom in a Harbor even after the Harbor Master told me there was plenty of water in his basin. Messed up a new prop that he would not pay to fix! We...

    Valve problem, what to do?

    DO a visual inspection of the cam lobe and then check the run out of the lobe using a dial indicator comparing it to another lobe. Being a hydraulic roller lifter ( your pictures show a roller lifter) unless it rotates in the bore should not harm the cam. Only close inspection with tell you...

    Hull cleaning with Dry Ice (C02)

    I sell into a company that manufactures the Dry Ice machines and from what I know they use these to clean food processing areas and other sensitive areas where cleaning with water or soda is prohibitive. I saw a demo that they removed stains and older paint from a wall but it seemed a little...

    SeaLand Vacuflush

    Last fall I had the same noise, clunking from the pump so I investigated getting it repaired. I had quotes for rebuilding the system as well as rebuilt pump cost and decided to order the same kit shown here, plus I ordered the new duck bills which needed to be replaced anyway. It really is an...
