Sudbury Switches
I think it is time to repair or replace the two brown Sudbury battery switches that are under the salon stairs in my 1978 F30. Does anyone know if these can be repaired? If not repairable can you advise me of what replacements will work with the least amount of modifications. The switches still work...

Re: dripping groco intake seacock
Thanks for the information, the spec sheet was exactly what I needed. I will tighten the t handle and see if the dripping stops. I am still thinking replacing this with a ball valve this off season may be a good idea.

One of my Groco SV1250 Intake shutoff valves has a slight drip coming off the threads of the T handle valve, The handle is turned out as far as it can go, the valve has not been turned on or off for over a year. I would lik...

fuel water separators
I would like to replace the original fuel water separators on my 1978 F30 with twin 318's. Which brands and models would you recommend, and is this a DIY project? They are currently plumbed with copper, would replacements mean reworking the copper, or going to gas hose. Thanks for any help and advic...

Re: Ladder to fly bridge
The ladder on my 1978 F30 folds up and sits on the bridge deck. That gives a lot more deck room down below and makes boarding much easier since it is not in the way. Folding process is very easy.

Shift Cables
My boat is a 1978 F30 with twin 318's. The port transmission takes a really hard push on the shifter from the bridge to move in and out of gear. From the lower station is is still slightly stiff but not as bad. The controls are the original Morse products. I know something needs to be replaced. Ther...

Hour meters
Late in the season last year both my hour meters quit working on my 78 F30 with twin 318's. I could use some advice on troubleshooting. I don't believe these came with the boat, I assume these were added by previous owner. I know I need to track down the wiring, but I am not sure where it runs from....

Re: F27 Express Cruiser door knob
I would be thrilled to get your lockset assembly, I will be pleased to pay your shipping costs to Cleveland, Ohio. If you decide to move forward on this let me know the best way to handle this. It will look great on my 1978 F30 Trojan. Thanks again.

Re: F27 Express Cruiser door knob
I have been looking for this same lockset for some time and ha and have not been able to find it. I lost an internal piece and now the door does not lock. If you find a drop in or one that takes minor rework let me know and I can purchase one too.
