I believe you want to look at "screw cover vinyls"

Try to place one order for everything you need, they bang you pretty good for shipping & handling

Open up the hatch(s) to the engine room and see if it gets better. I had a 46' with twin detroits that did not have adequate ventilation built into the boat. Had to add some air intakes. Funny you mention that My boat didn't come with the standard air intakes typically seen on the sides of the hull...

I'm confused.... Are you switching to 8v71's or 6v71's? 8v71tti Manual says 8v71ti is 462hp But I have the tti (twin turbo) I think they are more HP I did some more measuring today My stringers are 31" on center and so are the engine mounts for the 8v71's I have a total of 34" in between ...

I have 4 blades
28 x 29

Not getting full RPM and black smoke means diesel is not being burned and not enough air I believe. I had this problem with one of my engines I took off the cover to the aftercooler and found all this crap on the fins blocking air I took my wet vac and just got all that out of their and back to norm...

ok after a quick google search

My old gears were capitals, these are allisons



I don't know the ratio yet, need to figure that out

Sorry you had to deal with that crook . I have a few questions and concerns on your new engines ? HP and hours ? Have you had a real DD guy check them out ? Also the fit , your new engines have deep oil pans then some of the 671s . I ask because this was a issue on the last 671 I replaced . The rep...

Wow its been a while since I updated this thread I am not going to get into it here, but I got totally screwed over by a diesel mechanic I thought I hired one of the best detroit mechanics on the east coast But I actually hired a thief and criminal If you want to read the details, they are here: htt...

Turned out pretty good. top shelf is about 35 inches deep. second shelf is 20inches. decided to leave the bottom open to store larger things. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/Yorklyn/Double-Pote-N-Sea%20forward%20stringer%20rot/2014-02-23165947_zpsa3049210.jpg That came out awesome! The woo...

Sorry, I have a terrible way of describing things, it is not hose from engine.

Yes I put 2 coats of resin on after I cut the hole.

Port side storage compartments, the forward one has the original box with slider doors that never work and just cause the user stress. The subwoofer box goes in the forward compartment, the rear will be housing an A/C-heat unit for the upper cockpit eventually. When the companion seat is in place yo...

This is the closet in the side stateroom, it has a rod in it but the closet is just used for storage. There is just never enough space on boats to keep all yer stuff. The cushions are the inserts for the dinette when it converts to a bed, they are big and bulky, nowhere else to put them. http://i101...

What type of plastic is the sub box made out of? looks somewhat like starboard? Heat welded joints? Great job! love the spools of wire! my old windless had a 25 ft run of #10 wire! cant believe it never caught on fire! Keep up the good work! You are correct! Box is made out of starboard and heat we...
