I may be taking this thread in the wrong direction, but here is Water Music's 'speed curve'... is this in line with what you other F32 owners with 360s are seeing? I have over 1570 hrs on the engines, they are almost 30 years old, and I don't know for sure how the previous two owners treated her the...

Haven't personally, but have seen a Silverton sedan (30' or 34') rigged for diving. Didn't see where they had the rack for the tanks, but they had what may have been a custom ladder mounted to the gunnel above their transom. The ladder (welded steel or aluminum unit) base was bolted to the gunnel. A...

TADTOOMUCH : 24 knots at 2700 RPM and 20 knots at 2200 rpm ? I have the same 360s, and get nowhere near that. Mind you I have almost 1600 hours on them, but didn't think they were that tired! What props are you running, and have you renovated the interior or stripped out any weight ?

Haven't done it, but think it woudl be a neat idea (just not sure if the look is worth another half-dozen holes below the waterline!).

Abyss is one of the bigger light companies and have seen various dealers / distributors at the boat shows advertising their products : http://www.abysslite.com/

I am scared to! I got the info when I was researching options to fix a slight leak at the steering cylinder, that has been there for 8 years (so likely not an imminent failure). I also have a few other projects I am debating about (engines are getting a bit tired, head is the original recirculating ...

When I have a situation like this I will have my wife take a wrap with the bow line, and then split the engines (port ahead, stbd in reverse). Make sure there is enough length in the bow line so you can work it a bit -- watch how the boat behaves and shift either engine out of gear and back in as ne...

Yup - that would be your Syten power steering pump. Parts no longer available (according to Teleflex - I have asked about stuff for my '79 F32), so if it is the seal around the steering shaft you have a bit of a problem... This is what Teleflex recommends replacing my old system with : * HH5271, Hel...

Can't find a reference in the manual, but I have been using 3/16". Don't know if vintage makes any difference either - mine is a '79.

Had the marina replace one of mine a few years back - the original burned out after running almost non-stop for several days as we came through a canal system that was one big 'no wake' zone. Instead of pulling the old blower out though, they just scabed the 4" Atwood in - sandwiching it betwee...

Hamilton, Ontario... 147.7 a litre for regular, 152.7 for premium this past weekend. That would be $5.61 / $5.80 for a US gallon (and even worse for a Cdn gallon!)

I was considering a similar job myself (my boat is a '79). When I talked to one of the guys at the marina (who has owned a dozen or more boats over the past 40 years, and spent 20 years working on wood and glass boats in the marina's service yard) his comment was : "If it doesn't have any blist...

The manual I have is actually a 'generic' 1979 manual, covering the basics for all models. I have scanned the 2 pages related to steering and steering adjustment. Here are links : p15.jpg p16.jpg I sized the images for 1024x768 resolution - good for looking at online, but not sure how well they migh...

Your manual (if you have one) should describe the right setup / specs in the steering section (I know mine does). I have a '79 F32, with the Syten hydraulic steering. Different model than yours, but if you don't have original specs I can look up the factory specs for the F32s to give you a sense of ...

Once you are done, would be interested in knowing how you routed things around the electrical space, where you ended up putting your vents, and how easy / tough you found the job. Might become a project for me next winter.

Glad to help!
