Basically the same question. I'm looking to put a new autopilot on an old 42 Bertram. I'm thinking Simrad but don't know what I really need or...
I'm thinking about having some lights installed on a 42 Bertram. Any favorite brands or brands to avoid? Of course, cost is a factor. 14'10"...
The generator is fixed. Had to buy a new card for the voltage regulator. $450 from Onan. Easy fix. I'm glad I picked the correct part first...
Thanks for all the help. The generator is working fine now. After discussing it with Onan, they diagnosed the problem correctly. A new circuit...
I agree with all of that. The engine is not having trouble carrying the load. It's a fluctuation problem and I think I've found the problem with...
Very random. Not when a load is applied. I'm embarrassed to say this but I might have found the problem. I was filling the batteries and found...
The frequency of the lights flashing?
Well, you got me on that one. How can I tell? I've got a volt meter and an amp meter. Are you talking 50 vs 60 hz? Greek to me. Sorry, but...
Ps, it's a 1976 Bertram 42.
. I'm having trouble with voltage fluctuations on my Onan 7.5 generator. The RPM's seam stable but I'm getting some 10 volt swings occasionally...

I don't have a gauge for that so I'm kinda blind. I tried to pump some out with an oil change pump and they blocked me at both ends, where the dip...
Thanks guys! Sounds like I need to get it out of there soon. I guess removing the filter might be the easiest way?
They are about half a quart high I would guess. It's hard to say.
I've been told that my Allison's have been over serviced meaning too much oil. Is this something that needs to be fixed before I operate the boat...
Thanks guys. Good advice. I think I'd prefer an HBI but don't want to spend the money. I've got the outboard so I thought I'd try to sneak by on a...
Can anybody tell me a little about inflatable floor dingies? I'm on a lake and it will be more of a toy for the kids but it will serve the boat...
That is interesting. I appreciate your comment. I don't want to be one of those guys dragging around at night. I thought that a properly set...
Buying a boat that has a Windless and this is my first Windless. Is it ok to back down on an anchor HARD to properly set it while the anchor line...
