So like many, I find myself in need of a new insurance policy despite zero claims, no missed payments, etc. My broker has found me an underwriter...
My original Onan 20kw had 7700 hrs on it when I pulled it and it still ran Ok but wouldn't hold Hz very good. My 8kw Kohler blew a head gasket or...
Hopefully you get lucky. Those Kubota engines are pretty dang good. How many hours are on it?
To clarify; it was full on oil and used two quarts in 6 hours? Or you don’t know how low it was to start with? Obviously, if you know it used 2...
Thanks everyone. Some great info here.
Thanks Lew. I was using varnish in the generic sense. Does the Awlbrite give you a good glossy finish? I'm looking for something that will hold...
I would hope I would never buy an ugly (to me) boat. But then again, when I was young and before I had kids, my wife and I said we would never...
The varnish on the exterior side of my door and frame from the cockpit to salon is in need of re-finishing. This side of the door is teak. What...
My Father-in-law used to own Aurora V which is the last of the Auroras and was John Trumpy’s personal boat for awhile. He bought it and brought it...

Yeah that's concerning. And the thing sounds pretty loud. I don't want hear that thing at night but I guess you could always take care of that...
That Seaflo dry bilge system looks like a pretty nice system. I found it online. looks like the base system is about $150. My chain locker drains...
When you re-trial I do hope you spend some time at 80% load and get some good numbers. I still find it odd that this wasn't done last time, or at...
Get yourself an inexpensive dial indicator so you can do this and get an actual measurement. You can get a complete kit with magnetic base on...
I assume you mean the freshwater pump breaker is tripping? This should not have anything to do with the tank being full.
So your thought is the key is too tall and thus forcing the shaft against the other side too much? Anything is possible. But if it was the key...
Make sure you keep a close eye on that shaft seal until you get this figured out. Running it with that wobble is surely putting more stress on...
On my Donzi I custom made frames to put solid glass on the front of the bridge and wrapped around about 1/3 of the way back on each side. Then I...
Do you have a cutlass bearing in the shaft log or just the one in the strut? What was condition of the bearing(s) ?
I’m still interested to hear if these engines have a low coolant level alarm and why that didn’t alert to a problem?
