I also re-bedded the forward hatch as it was leaking (sorry no pictures of that one) Now for the plan. This is where I need your input. I want to re-do the chain locker bulkhead and create a shelf to hold a flat screen TV and maybe some books. Re-do the bulkhead separating the V-Berth and the head a...

Removing the plywood pads on the walls and ceiling was a PITA. I had to use a wood chisel to get most of it off and finish with an 8" grinder and sanding disk...

A few weeks ago, I started the re-model. I emptied the locker...
Removed the shelves and the additional wall.
I then removed the headliner, the 10,000 staples and the wall covering...

Hi All, Like so many boats of any considerable age, my boat has sustained substantial mods over the years. In my case, the forward head was separated in 2 with 1 half modified into a locker and the second half extending to the V-berth with access to the sink. My plan is to refit the boat starting fr...

In this is the final result looking at the starboards side. The slop is much much better but I will have to wait for this weekend to try it out
If any of you need additional details, let me know. I will be happy to answer any question.

Once I was satisfied that the ball joints screwed on properly, I TIG welded the ball that connects the steering arm to the shaft. I finally cleaned the ball joints, chased the set screw threads, replaced the grease nipples and re-assembled everything using grease and anti-seize as required. Last nig...

After machining the OD, I proceeded to machine the threads.

Howdy good people. My better half and I have been enjoying the boat almost every weekend now. One issue that was annoying was the steering slop of at least 1/2 a turn on the steering. No issue for docking but at anything above 1000 RPM. I looked drunk at the wheel... Anyhow, last weekend, I decided ...

Thanks guys. Just to be safe I will plug it...

Cheers,

With this said, Can I plug the Heat Tube Port next to the choke? If I do, I am sure I should re-adjust the idle mixture screws...

Many thanks to all the feedback.

OK. I got some closeups of the carburetor. This first picture is with the engine cold and power on. This second picture is after a few minute with the engine running. It all looks good from that standpoint.

Hi Rick!

Absolutely! We are enjoying her as much as we can.

Cheers!

Thanks Prowlerfish! At this time, this is the only picture I have. I might be able to go to the boat next weekend to take additional pictures. "The port with the brass fitting is for the choke heater . If the choke is fully opening you can plug it off . Can you post a photo of the top of the ca...

Hi Guys, I wonder if one of you might have experience with this. I have 2 Holley Carbs on my Tri-Fly. I am pretty confident they are not original. Model 3279. 20160710_082731s.jpg The question I have is that there is a vacuum port open on both of my carburetors. It might be the ported vacuum for the...

First waves... And sleeping beauty....
