I will know for sure once I change the impellor and repair the dripping hose connection. I may be able to stomach the service nightmare every few...
Another good idea. Of course wiring, water and fuel lines will need to be lengthened so there's slack. I will consider this as well. Perhaps...
MBevins: 180 rotation would move the oil filter, fuel filter, dip stick, primer solenoid etc to the backside. Bigger problems than I have now....
I did misunderstand, sorry. Unfortunately, turning it 90 degrees permanently will not work in the space. In the meantime, I finally made contact...
Hi MBevins, yes, his is one model year newer and exactly the same configuration. I think the best way to do it is to loosen and leave the front...
I cannot get anywhere near it. From the generator side, while leaning well off balance, I can barely see one of the cover bolts. And the journey...
While servicing my Westerbeke 8.0 BTD, I noticed that the seawater pump housing is on the backside of the unit. Westerbeke mounted the oil and...

I replaced all of the ceiling light bulbs with dimmable LEDs. They were not the cheapest bulbs but not ridiculously expensive either. They dim...
I guess I meant "start the nut"
I installed the removable post type on the swim platform. A couple of pointers: Easier to do while on the hard. Pick a spot in between platform...
Picked up a post mount for the swim platform at the Toronto Boat Show. I guess I will convert to a stow-and-go griller.
Thanks, Capt J. I did toy with that idea but I would like to have it swing overboard for grilling and back in to stow. Ideally, I would like to...
My wife tried to sell me 13 years ago. She's still stuck with me.
Looking for some ideas... We recently changed boats and will be cruising in our 400 DB come this spring. I built a permanent BBQ mount on our...
Exactly 30 years.
Hi guys, I've been off the grid anchored in God's country. To answer some, if not all, of the questions....old style three knobs. Pump runs all...
1987 3807 The fwd AC unit is not blowing cold air. It will blow warm. My son turned the thermostat up a little each time he felt it wasn't cold...
