thanks for the kind words
definitely going to look for that hat

A teak trim upgrade

I don't know the answer
Doug at AAA Marine did not say anything about changing the plugs
He just told me to gap them at .055
Also new higher voltage spark plug wires

there seems to be left and right versions of those choke coils also crusader has two part numbers listed, one for 0 angle and one for 12 degree down angle according to a post I found on another forum today I started both engines without the chokes no problem that's the solution for now thanks everyo...

I am attaching a photo of the stretched out starboard choke coil and the wound tight port choke coil The starboard coil binds up in its housing I have not been able to get it off yet I hope to straighten in out I am thinking of lengthening the linkage on the port side so it will start out leaner thx...

I removed the choke coil from the port engine and removed the choke coil cover from the starboard engine it seems as if it was the starboard choke coil is the one that I may have stretched out (not the port) thereby keeping the choke somewhat open when cold so my explanation was not accurate however...

I had never done this before but the installation was relatively easy. I removed the plugs and gapped them to .055 I noted the position of the distributor with the cap on. Before removing the distributor I noted the position of the rotor and where the rotor rotated to as it was removed. I installed ...

mystery solved! I had previously attempted to remove the carburetor at least once without disconnecting the choke coil. I apparently stretched the coil so it would keep the choke tightly closed. After a very long warm up period it would open but the harm was done, I had fouled plugs. I have disconne...

I don't know if this helps or not I opened up the sliding doors at the foot of the bed and looked up towards the underside of the platform there is a piece of wood on each slider that acts as a stop my guess is they have to be removed after that I don't know I plan on opening mine up after you figur...

why didn't they build it this way in the first place! by relocating the microwave I was able to open up the space Mirror flips up to expose medicine cabinet with 110v outlet countertop is corian one door below sink so area is more accessible panel behind toilet is a deep drawer shower wand is more u...

I have a 10 meter mid cabin I recently re configured the head and had to put in a new headliner I picked up a tip from youtube that might work for you there is a white corrugated plastic material sold at Home Depot (I'm sure elsewhere as well) I made a pattern of the area I needed to cover using dry...

permanently disconnect the a/c from the boats 110 system
have the a/c connected to a dedicated shore power line (you can y the existing if necessary)
I think that would work
