Does anyone have an outboard motor mount on their swim deck for auxiliary power. Here in Alaska tugs and sea tows are far and few between. Better to be self sufficient when it comes to single screws. I'm looking for brand names and hp rating. Around a 15 hp ideally so i can use the motor with...

Boot Stripe done. Onward to the topside projects. Deciding to keep the mast to better fly my Seahawks Flags.:socool:

Update. Been busy these last couple months but gettint closer to knocking out the things on my list before i launch in march. Found the original keys to the door and the flying bridge ifniton hidden on a hook under a gunwale on thr stern. Here's some more pics on progress. Just finished paint...

C.R. Laurence 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Reviews High Density Window Pile .350 in Pile Height; .270 in Backing Width - 100 ft. Roll On amazon. There is already a thread on this site somewhere.

I was wondering about that because on the 3rd hatch back from the bow the insulation had been scooped out all the way to the wood to accommodate that elbow and it just did not look like anything a factory would do. But as I've said before this wet exhaust stuff is all new to me. If that is...

1 Ran it up to temp 2 weeks ago before i had to head back up on the north slope for work. Sounded ok and fair amount of water came out the exhaust. But if the whole point of that riser is to block water from getting back to the engine,then everytime it gets shut off that last little splash...

:) Yes i planned on inspecting the riser and turbo qhen i take it off. Wouldnt be prudent to juat swap it .

Excellent thread that convinced me to do some changes. Thanks for sharing that. I'm a whole lot more educated than i was yesterday and added like 4 more things on my boat to-do list.

After doing some research i believe Bayview is correct and the inlet is on the wrong side of the riser. Not only is it on the wrong side it is injecting towards the engine leaving me to believe that the PO put it on backwards after changing the exhaust hose. Here is the picture of mine and...

Think I'm going to keep.the 8ds and move one to each side.to allow room for now and possibly a future genset reinstall. Wife and I talked about the 6 hatches and came up with the idea to add.brass piano hinges for every 2 sets narrowing it down to 3. And yes walker airsep or racor unit is...

I'm not sure what you mean. That is the stock exhaust riser i thought. Is the water inlet supposed to be on the other side of the hump? OR is it on backwards?

Nice looking ER. Doesn't look like chaos. I do see something I'm curious about. Is that like a walker air sep on your turbo? I'd love to keep those gases contained in the engine. They make everything dingy. I've already gone thorough once with degreaser and a pressure washer. About to do it...

I Hadn't considered back flooding, very glad you brought that up. My racors are on the back and happy with them there. The battery mess I'm considering moving the engine battery up underneath the starboard and house to the port and making a cover for that hole over the shaft. I'm a pretty big...

Does anyone have any pictures of Engine room a and different angles of the engine. Looking for what might be missing from mine and maybe ways I could improve on it such as deck plates down alongside the engine to protect transducers and make it easier to stand, rerouting of exhaust flange...

I was just wondering if it really made a noticable difference on the older perkins getting everything sooty and oily. I'm thinking I'd like to try it. I hate dirty ER's. Thanks for the reply.

Anyone try these on the older perkins 6.354's? http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C311%7C2349109%7C2349115&id=1867101

Does anyone know if a pushrod inspection plate gasket (aft plate) can be changed without removing the exhaust manifold? Manuals are very clear about anything to do with it. TIA

Welcome. That's a pretty looking boat.

Had a fantastic last 2 weeks. Got the wrap off, starter out ,rebuilt and put back in ,bilge 99%clean of waste oil (Thinking PO just dumped it into the bilge) 1 new battery installed ( still needs 1 more) . Numerous wires that were just hanging got reconnected, Discovered about $2000 worth...

All my oily stuff I've been transfering to the oily waste receptacle at the harbor masters. Water just pumping out.

I'm doing just this thing now and it has been a mess. Started out by sucking out 20 gallons of the top into 5 gallon buckets. I'm in the yard so I turned on the bilge pump and sucked down to the oil on top. Then i added 5 cans of foaming degreaser on to eveything i could spray. Soaked for an...

Yes,I'm not a fan of it either. Thinking of having a friend of mine fabricate an aluminum arch for me as I would like a radar dome mounted up there as well.

Bear Cove is beautful. Looked at land there few years back. Hard to find.

I'm thinking at the very least for now until I know the reason for sure I'm going to shove some 3/4 foam pipe insulation in there. I'm thinking you might be correct with the hull flexing idea.
