Leaking salon windows in 12m convertble

My salon windows leak at the lower edge into the salon. Prior owner siliconed the windows shut in an effort to solve the problem. They don’t slide now. On the starboard it leaks onto the the breaker panel. Not good. The port and starboard window frames appears connected to the frames around the fron...

Re: Bought 12 meter, qx on overboard discharge

Thanks El Sea. The thru hull you are referring to is now connected to the AC water pump. Prior owner must have repurposed it. The OB discharge pump is where said it is but it is not connected to any thru hull. The outlet hose just lays in the bilge. (There is no switch to turn it on thank God) This ...

Bought 12 meter, qx on overboard discharge

Stepped up from my 1980 F32 to a 1988 12 meter. Still learning the boat. Original invoice from Bob @Beacon shows OB discharge option but can’t find the thru hull where it discharges OB. Anybody know?

Looks beautiful El L Sea! I will buy one if the 12m passes sea trial Thurs. current owner has shoe horned in a house fridge that’s a foot into the galley, ugly. What has been your experience with your 12m? What top rpm, mpg and speed do you get with the DD 671 TI’S? Current owner sealed shut the sal...

Buying a 12 meter conv. Need Frig

Stepping up from F 32 to 1988 12 m convertible. Need fridge that fits the cut out. I know the original is no longer available. Can anybody recommend a replacement that will fit neatly in the cut out space?

Re: Air conditioner for an F32

I was in Rochester New York and factory ac was inadequate on summer days. Even though you are in the northeast on the hot days when you need ac you want it to work effectively. Go with your gut. I own the F 32 for 25 years. Trust me I know what it takes to have an effective AC in one.

Re: Air conditioner for an F32

I installed two Webasto AC units in my 81 F32. One is a 12k BTU unit in storage area under the seat in the dinette. I ran a flexible duct to the existing vent in the salon. I ran the duct hose through the bulkhead up and under the salon floor on the stbd side and cut a hole in the salon floor on the...

Repowering f32-Chrysler or Chevy

My 1980 F32 has twin Chrysler through 360 V-8. They are tired and need replacement. Tired of spending over $1000 to replace exhaust systems on these engines. Fewer and fewer sources seem to be available for increasingly pricey parts. So what do you guys think? Should I go with Chevys or re-built Chr...

Re: need help to find f32 exhaust bellows

Thanks all for your responses. What a merry go round this has been trying to find the exhaust bellows for my f32 Chryslers. No body has this part. Purosil doesn't sell retail so they referred to several of their dealers. None stock the part nor does Purosil even though they show a part like it in si...

Re: need help to find f32 exhaust bellows

Thanks. The black bellows may work for me. I require 3 inch interior diameter. What is it on your bellows and what is the length ?
