Im trying to figure out how to remove my sliding door to put some new shoes on her so she slides like a moon walk.
Before I do something “remove” the wrong parts.
Im hoping someone has experienced
The removal process...??
89 345 Sedan Bridge
Thanks in advance!
hello help! ;)
So my bottom was getting its monthly cleaning and the diver either grabbed the prop or the shaft and wiggled it back and forth. I could feel the thud, thud, thud.
He said my “bearing” was shot only on the starboard side. Im believing I should just change them both.
I just...
hi everyone, does anyone have a diagram of all parts included from prop thru hull to the packing box.
I was having my bottom looked at by a diver and he said my zinc is way up on the shaft and then he told me to listen as he grabbed ghe prop I think and wiggles up and down. I could hear thump...
Thanks hot, i just picked her up back in December. Im guessing the hour meter for the generator is this one within the fuse panel correct? 479 hours?
Yes im wanting to just rebuild the top end im hoping..
so some of you may remember I posted about my westerbeke shutting down after 10 minutes or so and water flow with steam etc.
Well, top of the motors oil and cap where milky too. But not the oil in the pan.
I have a marine machanic friend that says he will help me (click and point)
To rebuild...
I picked up this digital 3000 watt inverter.
Wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions about how I should use this vs using my generator. With wiring and batteries etc. I only go out and stay on the hook for three days max other then that im on shore power. Im looking into solar panels as...
last night as I was pulling into port all of my lights started slowly getting dimmer and dimmer and then off completely.
Does that mean my alernator is shot?
I have twin 454’s and the starboard motor’s volt guage I noticed was reading less then 12 vs port engine 13/14
So im hoping all this means...
Thanks quint, yes Im second guessing this idea lol
As much as I would love to learn and do, as you said, With the rains, winds, hurricanes and sun here in Florida I need this done right and perfect and to last.
Thanks for making my mind up for me
What do you think im looking at to fully enclose...
I am curious if anyone has the measurements, patterns or blueprints for the bridge and cockpit enclosure. I am going to attack this project myself and just wondering if anyone has such a treasure that would probably save me some newbie frustrations of figuring it out myself lol
Thanks!
So I did all kinds of stuff including checking that impellor and pump shaft. All seemed solid. Found more pieces of old, very small. So all said and done, I check the oil. It was low this time but seemed clean. Took the cap off to put new oil in and dam, milk looking shit on the cap. God I know...
ok so I have Im guessing an 88 6.5 westerbeke. She would start throwing white smoke ( im thinking steam) and then shut down after about 20 minutes. The previous owner put in a new impellor soo... I noticed my exhaust hose and two others where leaking water. So I replaced them all. Started her up...
Finally got her ghost letters off after hours of wet sanding. Got her name on and decided to get a smaller version made for the tender. Im adding “LiL” to it though. LiL Miss Wet Ever.
Im looking for some opinions on the color for her new name.
Shes got a 6” grey stripe completely around the seem (I guess you call it) where the top of the boat meets the hull. The rest of her is white. But, her fenders and dock lines are blue.
Should I stick with the colors in the picture or...
