Take a look at alternator output curves before you decide on an alternator. for example https://balmar.net/balmar-technology/alternator-output-curves/

I didn’t see anyone mention the Exhaust Elbow. Definitely remove it and inspect - it’s just four bolts. Replace if any questions, or just do it anyways. I assumed mine was ok and paid a premium price for not changing it the day I got my boat.[emoji79]

This thread has become a banging halyard [emoji8] Luv to all and peace be with you…

Interested - do you have a pic of what it’s supposed to look like? Is it this foot that sheered off ?

Based on the age of the engines it seems that many of the manifolds are showing age, so we are starting to see more cases of rust-through/burn-through on the manifolds around exhaust port #6 (and other issues). Good salvage manifolds are very hard to find and new casting don't exist yet. Some...

Sold as of this morning. The seller has a bunch of other parts available.

Something like these ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/264634424201?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zJ3WNA7NTbS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=6eC6qPNeTJm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If you find a solution please share it. Personally I doubt any new castings exist and I have called other sources to see if I can find a custom/other option for the manifold. Used engines with intact manifold s seem non-existent , they all eventually rust out around number six… Maybe mine is...

I would side with Bacchus on getting the water out of there completely asap. Ten years ago I purchased a new Bayliner motor yacht with twin Cummins 6bta Turbo Diesels each fed off it's own tank. When the boat was delivered to me the port fuel fill cap was off and shortly after I noticed that the...

Just DON'T put Mary Kate's On-Off on bottom paint or get it on your trailer (alum or galvanized), for example if dripping or rinsing off the hull. It's very extremely reactive, yet effective, and will do damage to those things. Also keep it away from thru-hulls and shafts, props, outboards or...

It's a crankcase sump breather. Lower left in this picture.

I have used debond many times and it works. Use a plastic tool and cleanup with denatured alcohol. Wear gloves!

I am close to a similar predicament so looking forward to the story of this one. Did Brian have any though on when or if new castings would be available?

Sorry, should not have said NVDC - Maritime Documentation Center Corp. this was the case and these same people have been involved in several lawsuits and shady dealings over the last few years. more... U.S. Vessel Documentation, Inc., Maritime Documentation Center Corp., John Soria and...

This may be incorrect but I read somewhere last year that NVDC filed and won a lawsuit preserving freedom of information access to vessel registration data from the USCG. If true, they can demand access to download or receive live data even if it’s not otherwise publicly available. Any truth in...

On the FL120 the stop lever is activated by a solenoid mounted next to the injection pump. It has single connection for power (to stop the motor).

You can buy a prepaid test kit on Amazon. I tested mine. No asbestos just cellulose. 78 Taiwan Trawler - similar looking tiles.

Copper magnet, surely you are joking. Would that be in the same section as sky-hooks? Really, It’s likely the washer is sitting at the bottom of the pushrod and you might be able to fish it out with a small wire bent into a hook on the end. I had to do that with a couple and it helped to shine...

The black can in this picture is the air intake filter and normally has a foam filter slid over it. If your engines don’t have the foam filter you can get replacements from American Diesel . The hose attached to the top of the can goes to the crankcase ventilation valve (a metal kind-of PCV...

If your wheel is like mine, a teak arrangement with a bronze hub perhaps it's just the wheel looseness from shrinking of the teak wood that fits in the hub. Mine was loose and I was able to shim it up a little. Just a quick search turns this up... You are being redirected... and this...

Well this explains a mystery to me - just got back from a trip to Tucson that was planned at the last minute (Funeral) and the rental agencies were sold out completely for weeks in any direction. I did get lucky and found a rental available at a satellite agency about 10 miles from the airport...

Because of all the caveats expressed in this thread, and calculating a professional captain, fuel and insurance plus the added risk and limited time windows for safe transit and potential breakdowns of an unknown boat... When I purchased a brand new 40' boat in Oregon about 20 years ago the...

Look up Ford 2B209 belt. https://www.amazon.com/PowerDrive-2B209-Lehman-Replacement-Length/dp/B01N06Y0MR Several substitutions are available. Also agree - if it's easier for you call Brian at American Diesel Corp. (804) 435-3107
