We don't have that boat, but generally speaking fuel efficiency is more a matter of how much weight you're hauling. Our 5.7's at 3200 get about...
Not sure if I'm understanding the question right or not, but we were getting leaking from our aft cabin windows, mostly from rain. We simply...
We've had two express cruisers, albeit much smaller than a 50' , and now our 325 AC. If in snotty conditions, one big consideration you may...
Thanks for the idea. Our last owner installed vertical blinds which were so so for a few years, but then got all wonky. When you posted about...
Yes, change fuel filter first; easy and quick. If that doesn't solve the problem, which sounds almost exactly the same problem I had when I...
The general rule of thumb is that there is no in-between; you should go at hull speed which is about 6-8 knots coming up from idle, or cruise by...
If it's a Raritan straight handled pump toilet, you probably need the rebuilt kit. The main culprit is going to be that the rubber piston seal is...
Conclusion Once again, Love me some Sea Insure: the Sea Tow insurance that is probably going to cover the cost of this due to 'mechanical...
First thing I did was discuss with Jasper, but got no where. They only go by time, not hours on the block ; trust me I pleaded it up / down / and...
Valve head was pulled today. Piston # 7 is showing 'dents' because the piston was lifting too high in the cylinder and snapped the exhaust valve...
My marina's manager called me to say that the mechanic did a 'leak down' test and has determined that the valve [I'm assuming fuel input] on...
The block was rebuilt 3 yrs ago, as well as the carb 2 yrs ago. Unfortunately the two year warranty on the block expired one year ago [of course...
Since it has spark, even if he checked for compression, wouldn't the next check be what's under the valve cover? I'm no expert but isn't it...
750cfm Holley double pumper on Jasper rebuilt 350 5.7 ltr to replace Crusader. I think since the rebuild was only 3 yrs old with low hours, he...
Yes, the new one sparks. Due to really tight space, the mech compression tested one cylinder on the accessible side, but not the culprit cylinder.
My mechanic heard something wrong right away without even putting it into gear. Not the carb. One piston not firing. Changed plugs; one was in...
I'm not the real experienced one here but here are a few basic's: your hot water heater draws probably not more than about 10amps because the...
Handling 110 VAC wrong? Uncomfortable to the touch. Handling 220 VAC wrong? BIG BOOM ; like rcrapps said, never, ever, let the two hot leads...
mwwhit1, That never occurred to me, although don't believe that'll be the issue; when it's put into F or R, kicks right in without hesitation...
Not sure about the oil. Marina changed it and filter at the end of last season, or at least that's what the bill says. Checked all around this...
