Good Luck, on we first re-packed them as they were regular stuffing box. Did it in the water after calculating water inflow. was nothing that bilge pump could not handle. Shaft is 1 inch and stuffing box is 1 1/8 so sixteenth of inch around shaft, actually believe we could run it without packing as ...

100 total. My new tanks are a trapezoidal shape. I only think they put round ones in there, so yours may have been replaced.

Both of mine had 50 gallon tank on each side, I used every bit of space I had to make the new ones and they are 74 each and if you have round ones no way be 80 gal each. IMO

I got and f28 from Lake Erie to my house in TX using UShipit.com, and had good results.

I can send a picture when I go to lake again but not sure when that will be. Having had two f28 I can tell you the inspection ports are round plywood and are located left and right of the steps into the salon. Assuming the original salon seats are still there they are under the seats if not you will...

Thanks Bob,

Got the number.

According to Bob most of our boats that were single shaft used Reverse Rotation Engines. I have agood 225 Chry electronic fired Reverse engine, that is sealed and was working fine when I replaced engines as the other side went out and I had both. So saved the Reverse Rotation 900 hours. If anyone ha...

the old tube fuse bar eh. Yeah they suck especially for high current draw such as bilge blower(s). Not sure about rivet getting loose but they will heat up and become less conductive and heat more till fuse gives. All can rewired to a blue water fuse panel with the newer type fuses but will be a pai...

Don't know about pressuring the tank could be done but in my limited experience with 28s and a 36 the pressure comes from a demand pump that pumps up pressure and and shuts off. When you turn on water the pump senses lower pressure and begins to pump. I replaced my faucets/shower etc and helped a lo...

having two f28s the small wires were Pea lamps for lighting various warning devices. I was before LEDs and they used Pea lamps. I ripped them all out and set up a different instrument lighting system. The Pea lamps usually indicated bilge pumps, running lights on etc.

My 84 mid-cabin has water hook up on top of transom as well as water fill and careful gas fill. I replaced the Blackwater tank as old one was not serviceable to me, I replumbed all lines using hard PVC as it holds odors better. rebuilt both macerator pumps and now all is okay. Blackwater tank has no...

my v drives have dripless shaft seals and no leaky, they work fine. I had them installed when I repowered due to the difficulty getting to them in the V configuration. I used PYI PSS dripless seals. Just google dripless seals and you will see pictures of many types.

I had an extra large red light that I installed in dash and repurposed it to alert me that the bilge blower was on. Once engine started you cannot hear them run.

My toilets are different but I have two macerator pumps and have rebuilt both of them, parts are available. I re-plumbed both my heads using schedule 40 pvc which solves the odor permeability of flexible hose and rebuilt jabsco macerator pumps. Note wore rubber gloves until old nasty hose removed as...

+++ on carbie issue. Power piston in the carbie if opens it or it is stuck open will cause that. The quadrajet symptom is that the throttle mixture screws seem to have no effect.
