First thing I'd do is pull the injectors and then try to bar it over. Did they try to turn it both ways?May be a simple hydraulic bind from a leaking injector & It will turn the other way, relieve it Good luck, my 135 in Phelps Sat for *10* yrs with water 1,/2 way up & started

I still have the expanding panel the PO used in the slide door at the lower helm, has a nice 6" opening in it etc. Free for the asking (and shpg...)

Oh, they do it all the time here in Baltimore. It's called "PBJ"

When I bought Phelps, there was a huge unit between the lower helm wheel and seat. PO had a panel fit in the stbd door opening. Never tried it, damn thing was so heavy and bulky it would have saved the Titanic if thrown overboard.

Or sell my never-used starter for $75 on here......

So shoot from the hip advice I can get a whole starter for 125 with solenoid, solenoid so far looks like $55 I'm tempted,.............

That looks like it. Do you have a part # if you still have the bill?

Solenoid on the starter fubar. Only available from Europe ???? Sent msg to Brian, anyone know a source. Starter itself is fine, not buying one of those. Any help appreciated!

Having had a MT in the past, I knew I wanted higher more comfortable seats.( If it were easier to post a pic I would. ) Bought 2 seat/storage boxes with footrests and will mount Todd Cape Cod seats on them. And BTW I have a REAL nice one for sale.

Haven't you guys ever heard of "russetikas"?

D'ya think sitting on the bridge with a riot gun would work?

Well, ifn it was me- id consider the idea of laying a core and fresh deck ON TOP of what's there. Making the exposed FG the bottom & put a headliner on it. Maybe what's on the outside would make that unfeasible, but we can't see that.

Oh I'm a pretty good boat electrician, and the distribution panel is neat and pretty color coordinated. But when it goes into the ER, ALL the wires are black from the flood. And not smart- the bilge pump was wired thru the Perko switch. Switch off, no pump. Shower sump must be 30 gals. But had...

It's not beautiful, it's fugly. But viewed thru the lens of what I paid, it's a diamond in the rough. Keep us all posted.

Me too! Phelps is a "Lien Hwa Custom", duplicate of all the 30's being discussed here. If there is a God, someone will come up with a wiring schematic for them!

Phelps was 10 yrs on the hard and water 1/2 way up the engine when I got (it/her/him?), I empathize with you. After 6 mos, looks like splash this week. Hang in there!

Tape it shut with the shrink wrap tape. Sticks like glue, no residue when removed and wide

Considering the price of a haul out just for the seacock service AND that the body is good , I'd take a swim with a bung. Or, ever heard of a "collision mat" ?

Shore water A cheap garden water limiter can be set to turn off wherever you want for safety.

I don't, but took my transom door to Homer and they mixed me a qt. They only mix water based, but it came out damn close.

Platform Sold the big one over the weekend. Still have the small sail boat one.

No pics yet, but I bought a couple of boxes with storage and will mount the helm chairs on them. One had a little sink in it that I immediately trashed. The original seats were so low you can't see over the bow. I'd add a pic if there was an easy way to do it. As a side note, I have a...

Why don't you make a quick run to Mexico?

I just addressed the gizzard-cutter wire issue on Phelps. I fabricated my Bimini frame to go all the way back To my mast ( midship on the bridge) on a boat looks exactly like Sands. I bolted the mast to the top bow. And "triangulated" for strength. I don't at present plan radar, but I'll comment...

Line didn't "loop". Wife hooked buoy , Captain got off the controls and finished the hookup. C'mon , it's not that hard that Id spend a bunch of money on some gadget that is a PITA
