Re: Raw water alarm saves the day

Mine has raw water warning lights on the dash from the factory. Sending units are on the heat exchangers.

Re: Two red lights on upper helm dash of an f-36

If you're closed water cooled, it may be your raw water flow lights. There's a sending unit on the heat exchanger.

Re: taking care of teak

Scrub your teak with comet & a brass gas grill brush. When it's dry coat it with Sikkens Door & Window. It's clear & will bring up the natural color of the wood.

Sounds like a bad shock plate. Like a flex plate on a car.

Re: Weak discharge with steam

A friend with a 318 in his Ventnor had a problem with one side of his engine hotter than the other. He was raw water cooled too. He pulled the soft plugs on the block & flushed out a ton of crap from around his cylinders. Engine runs good now.

Re: Chrysler 440 Carbs

Check the vents on your fuel pumps. I had one leak when I first started the engine. It stopped after a minute or so, but I replaced it because that's not a good thing to have on a woody.

Re: reversing prop direction with trans/gears

V-drives are separate from the velvet drives. You need reduction gears on the velvet drives to change directions

Re: Rear deck wood finishing

Get a brass gas grill brush & a couple cans of Comet, wet the deck & scrub. After it's rinsed & dried, coat with Sikkens door & window. It's clear so the natural colors will show through. My deck came out real nice. Text me your # to 315-374-9736 & I'll send you some before &...

Re: What To Use To Remove Haze On Interior Wood

Wash with murphys oil soap. That should clean the wood real nice.
