Maybe, it depends on the model of the engine. I have the 185HP version and get about 2.75 gph operating around 1750 rpm.

They don't make a clock that will track west coast tides.

My 6.354 is 185HP and I lube it with 2 gals. of DELO 30W.

Richard, Yup, Cheer Men PTs are exactly what we are talking about.* Do you have an owners manual for yours?* If not, I have a partial that I can share electronically.* It is for the sundeck like yours rather than the euro style sedans that lots of the rest of us have.* Cheers, -- Edited...

Rick, I've been told there are 5 or 6 PTs in the Capital City YC, perhaps you are one of them.* Although I'm not in contact with most of them I estimate there are about 12 in the Puget Sound area.* As a host at the marina at Blake Is. I occasionally see a "new" one there.* There is a 38 on...

Sunchaser, Yes, there is such a thing as a manual for the boat.* It has such things as tankage, props, steering, etc.* I've attached the TOC for the PT-38 Sundeck to show the complete list.

PT38 Sedan Owners Manual OK, now that the ice has been broken I'd like to jump on the band wagon.* I'm looking for the manual for a '83 PT38 Trawler, sedan model built by Cheer Men Marine.* Any & all help locating the manual will be appreciated. I have part of a manual for the aft cabin model...

Hi John, When we had our interview last year it was in 2 parts.* First the US part and then we got to spend some time with a Canadian officer.* She was the one who warned against taking any firearms other than shotguns into Canada. We have cruised with folks who carried shotguns and they had...

John, I get signed in (logged on) automatically when I use the browser to visit the site.* Are you suggesting there's another cookie for the digest? Ed

John, Marin hit the target.* It was very nice to see a list of new msgs so I could make a quick decision as to whether I wanted to read fomething on the forum.* It also served as a great reminder that the forum is still active and deserving of my attention. I get enough email and stay busy...

My settings include receiving daily digest messages but I haven't gotten any for a few months.* I wrote a message several weeks ago that identified the issue but heard nothing back and now I don't see it in the forum. Thanks for any help you can provide. Ed

Fantastic!* Thanks. Ed

Ken, That looks very promising.* I'm surprised the pin is larger than the 3/8ths shackle.* My question is, will the 7/16th pin fit thru the chain link?* I don't have the advantage of having the enlarged end link from a barrel. Thanks. Ed

For the last 6 months or so I've been trying to find components that will provide maximum strength while staying within the constraints of my open faced anchor puller.* I have G4 (high test - 3900#) 5/16*chain. The problem I have is finding an anchor shackle that comes close to the rated load...

Marc, That's good advice but I've replaced the fuel pump with a piston type rather than a diaphragm.**I understand*Hurricane has gone to a different type of pump although I don't know what they're using. Ed

A few months ago I started the exercise of replacing the existing Xantrex MS 2000 that was aboard Makin' Do.* That unit was less than 3 years old based on the print date of the operations manual.* (We've had the boat less than a year and did not receive any purchase receipts for the onboard...

FF, I'm glad you brought up the Stanadyne product.* For 10 years the PO relied on a fuel polisher and oversized Racor filters*and refused to put any additives in the tanks of my boat.**That process*seemed to work but I got convinced to spend some of the boating budget on*the prescribed*quantity...

Marin, Oh what i would give for a 1983 PT38*owner's manual.* Looking at the existing prop, it could well be the original.* No bets either way.* My initial WOT run only netted 2200 RPM.* That prompted my prop shop to loan me their digital tach to check the on board tachs and the transmission...

Thanks, FF.* I'm working with a prop shop that is running the numbers in the computer.* I just completed a yard period that included bottom paint and prop tuning/balancing.* After refloating the boat a*WOT run produced 9.6 kts. @ 2200 PRM and an overheating situation.* The Perkins would not do...

I'm trying to purchase a new prop for my Performance Trawler 38' but don't have any record of how the boat was propped from the factory.* The power plant is a Perkins*T6.354, 185 HP with 2.5:1 reduction gears.* Does anyone have access to the original prop size?* Thanks. Ed Poulsbo, WA

I'll see Jon on Thurs. and deliver your msg.* Before comitting with Jon I spent some quality time with*him last week.* It's easy to understand why you're recommending him.* Thanks for the advice on shaft work.* I'll keep it in mind but hopefully I won't need to pull the shaft.* This is the...

Ken, Who did you have work on your props?* I'm hauling at Suldan's next week and taking the prop to Precision Propeller in Bremerton. Ed Bruette

I applied for a callsign and MMSI # via the FCC webiste in Oct 07 and have confirmed the record shows up in the ITU. db.* I noticed a link to view and/or update the emergency contact info but a UID and PW are required for access.* Anyone know if the licensee is permitted to view/update?* If...
