1974 MT Yacht Trawler DC 34

I also have Sideshift. My motor blew in less than 2 years. They sent me a replacement under warranty but I question their durability…

My thermostat stopped working on my 1974 Marine Trader Yacht Trawler DC 34. I am in Florida so I just removed it but would like to replace it and can’t find one. I currently run at about 120-130 degrees. 1. Any ideas where to find one? I’ve tried all over. 2. Will it hurt my engine running at...

I have a diver coming this week. Hopefully that is exactly what the issue is...

That is a great setup! I will look into that.

Yes, it is below waterline

Thank you!

I do have a strainer and removable basket. I put bromine tablets in for the first time today. Attached are pictures of the set up. It is a slight rise to the pump. I have tried a bunch of things but not have a continuous but weak stream that gets stronger from time to time.

How do I remove that airlock? The pump is shut off on a panel when i shut the system down. It’s after the restart I am having the issue.

I am having an issue when I clean out my air conditioning strainer. I fill the strainer and use a hose on a tee to push water through. I also have the sea cock open at this point. When I close the tee the water stops flowing. Last time it burnt out my pump and I had to replace it (3rd one in 3...

Congratulations! Welcome to the liveaboard life!

I left New Jersey last July to be a livaboard in Florida and never looked back. Best decision I ever made. I also use a mailbox but my marina in Saint Petersburg actually has mail here for us. Escape NJ! Never look back! You will be glad you did!

I have not noticed a fluid leak. I will check the fluid and see if it smells burnt...

I haven’t and I’m not real familiar with any of it which is why I am asking...

I was getting ready to dock my Marine Trader YT 34 and shifted into reverse. My gear shift got stuck and would cone out of reverse. I killed the engine and got pulled in. The gear shifts both feel locked and will not shift. Any advice?

The starter shop messed up the cone. They put a different one on and it was not the right size. Thank you everyone for your help. It was much appreciated!

Tried this but it didn’t bring it closed

If I can figure out hot to upload pictures on here...

I made the gear click a few times. Will that do it? There is also a set screw that is not flush but seemed to be from the pics of my old one. Could that be the issue?
