The backfire may or may not not be related to the compression problem, which is a problem within itself. Have you checked the 1) vacuum spark advance 2) mechanical spark advance These can be checked with an ADVANCE TIMING LIGHT a timing light which has a dial on it allowing you to determine the amou...

with regard to the backfiring, it would be a good idea to confirm the firing order and the plug wires in the dist cap.

It's a remote possibility however a couple of them may be reversed.

setting the timing & dwell will not change the compression issue. . The killer of these cooling systems is in many cases the age issue moreso than an "hours run" issue. Determining what failed and what caused thatfailure is your task. Look at the clues, How many hours did you run that ...

You would need a marinized version. I did not consider the GM engine in my refit evaluation in 2005. Consider engines with enough horsepower to make the vessel perform as it was desgned. The Crusaders are rated at 330/350 HP each. Otherwise the engine will be overtaxed, unless you run at displacemen...

PK, congrats on the Trojan. What year is she and is she a midcabin model or the standard express? The midcabin will have a small berth (sleeping area)under the cockpit deck. There will be a window in the deck step ( ithink) and there are only two port windows on each side VS 3 on the std express cr...

Aside from the aforementioned explosion hazard froma non marine rated pump, an elecrtic fuel pump in line with a mechanical pump has the capability to force fuel into the engine crackcase in the event of a bad mechanical pump diaphragm. That means a pinhole or tiny wear tear could result in your cra...

as a point of reference, my 33' International express cruiser came from the factory with a 16,000 btu cruisair.

Sorry to be a prick, but I gotta say it... blows my minds that nobody has commented yet... I see open beer at the helm. NO open alcohol while underway... No one commented on it for OBVIOUS REASONS . Reasons clearly not obvious to all. It blows my mind that someone actually made such a comment. I be...

I've been told by an 11 meter (1986) owner that the hull is also cored.

Thanks for sharing those wonderful photos.

Nice upgrades, beautiful execution.

You can't replace her with identical new for what you have in her.

I’m concerned that I may have a galvanic corrosion voltage problem. The boat is on the lift behind the house, connected to shore power for the fridges, air circulation fan and 3 bank battery charger. Otherwise she is in the water. When on the lift during extreme high tide, the propellers touch the...
