Re: Onan mcck 6.5 not charging start battery.
Swampman, To determine whether the battery is being charged check available voltage at the battery with the genset off. Start the genset and check available voltage at the battery with the genset running. The voltage at the battery should be higher with the genset running. In a perfect world a 12V b...

Re: Onan generator-Free
Hi Steve, Are you still trying to give your gen-set away? If it can stay with you until early August I would drive up from Michigan to get it. I’d like to take my wife to Niagara Falls anyway. I would come sooner but the marina is bugging me to launch my boat (F32) and I have some work to do there. ...

Re: Replacing Frost Plugs
I have 2 to replace on my starboard engine block today. The result of improper winterization. They are 1 5/8” plugs. It is not recommended to drive the plugs in striking the inside of the plug (using a socket) because of the possibility of distorting the plug resulting in leaks but because of their ...

Re: 318 no oil pressure
Small block Chryslers have a “hidden” oil galley plug at the back end of the left bank oil galley that feeds the lifters. On the rear of the block, where you might expect the galley plug to be, is a large threaded plug. If you remove the distributor and look in the hole where the large was removed y...

Re: Leaking Transmission
Was penetrating oil used on the bolts? I recall reading that penetrating oil must not come in contact with the output seal on the transmissions. It destroys the seal. What I read suggested applying it with a small brush or Q-tip instead of spraying.

Re: Overheating Chrysler 360
The impellers were the first thing I replaced two years ago when I bought the boat. After working on it all this time running to check whether the latest repair solved the problem, and to maneuver in the marina at launch and haul-out with plugged exhaust elbows it burned up. I always shut it down wh...

Re: Overheating Chrysler 360
The raw water pump inlet hose is the only one that isn’t new. I ran out of hose. Someone will have it on sale in the spring. I have a used impeller that is in good shape. I may just pull the pump (it’s been off so many times I can do it in 5 minutes like it’s held on with Velcro and tarp snaps lol) ...

Re: Overheating Chrysler 360
I the manifolds are clear all the way through from one end to the other. That does not mean they are not plugged down lower, but that would not stop water from flowing to the risers, elbows, and out the exhaust. I'm going to pull the raw water pump again to inspect if it does not draw antifreeze fro...

Re: Overheating Chrysler 360
The risers and elbows are new. The old elbows were plugged solid and the risers were in bad shape. I was sure replacing them would fix the problem, but it didn’t

Re: Overheating Chrysler 360
I used wire reinforced Shields-Flex water/exhaust hose. I’m going to winterize this weekend. I have a flush port on my strainers. If it won’t draw antifreeze from a bucket I plan to remove and disassemble the pump. I put a new impeller in last season, but the only time the engine ran was to test res...

Overheating Chrysler 360
What am I missing? 2 years ago I purchased a 1980 F32 323 with Chrysler 360s. The boat had been out of the water for 2 years, but was shrink wrapped and winterized by the marina that was storing it. After rebuilding both carburetors and raw water pumps both engines started but the port engine has ov...

Re: Mounting a handle on F32 transom.
Thanks prowlersfish. The swim ladder is near the starboard end of the swim platform. I guess I’ll just need to drill a hole to see how big the gap is. I have seen step on other F32 transoms. Is the transom thick enough to support a load like that? I’ll use backing plates on the inside.

Mounting a handle on F32 transom.
After falling off the dock at the marina, I realize the need to add a handle on the transom of our 1980 F32 Sedan. When I tried to climb out of the water using the swim ladder in wet blue jeans there was nothing to grab when I reached the top of the ladder. I have a handle to install, but I’m not su...
