I actually tried that, but the waters in my marina are too murky to see much of anything... [ATTACH]
Thanks. It actually has slightly less fuel now than during the sea trial. Perhaps it's inherent to the boat's design, as you suggest, but I'll...
Correct. We ran the boat up from 1000 to 2300 in increments of 200, part of the Cat performance testing. No vibrations then. Yes, this is her!...
Emeryville. I was thinking that I'll head up to Richmond, probably KKMI, for the haul-out. Any suggestions?
Thanks for checking in. I haven't made much progress on this issue... I'm currently in the middle of replacing both thermostats in that same...
Not opposed to that, and this was actually my initial request on the other thread (seeking a recommendation for a good mechanic in the San Fran...
Okay, makes sense. Since I'm a newb on this stuff... to check alignment, does that involve removing all the bolts on the shaft-to-gear coupling...
Yes, agreed. But I'd like to understand what is wrong, regardless. A visual of all the bolts associated with the motor mounts (just now) didn't...
Good info, thanks! I'll take a close look at them the next time out.
It was suggested that I start a new thread on some vibration that I'm getting underway from the port side engine / running gear. 2001 Horizon 76...
Yesterday we got everything reinstalled, with a new Centaflex coupling and a rebuilt Spicer driveline. All the vibration from that PTO is now...
Yes, I'm of the same mind. Yesterday I ordered a chuck of bronze and will get this milled up. Shouldn't be a big deal. I haven't heard back...
Jennifer and James Hamilton of MV Dirona created and have shared an Excel spreadsheet that helps to alert you of pending maintenance items. It...
Thanks for the thoughts. The 8 bolts that attach the rubber element to both couplings are supplied by Centa, so I'm fairly confident that they...
I now have a new Centaflex rubber element (with 8 new bolts), have rebuilt the Spicer driveline, and have cleaned up the other parts. The last...
This is my situation and have been advised by our lawyers (Wenthur in San Diego, this is their specialty) that we owe no CA sales tax. We were...
Success. Dockmaster's suggestion of a pipe worked like a charm; most the work was just filing down a 1/2" steel pipe until it fit snugly into one...
This is very good to know. Once I get to the point of extracting the broken bolt, this is probably going to be key... thanks!
I actually looked at that DeWalt 20V but the one I saw was only 150 ft-lbs. However, your idea of a pipe or 1/2" extension in one of the empty...
Thank you, T.T.!! I will be giving Greg a call here if I can't get this figured out on my own. I finally squeezed myself back into the space...
