It was a Type 33C Cable 18ft long. Since replacing the port side I've realized how stiff the starboard side is and am going to replace that this weekend as well. Nothing would suck more than coming into dock and getting stuck in gear. I found the cable online for $30 but wanted it quick so I paid th...

All it says on the side of the cable is 18ft. Hoping they are fairly standard and I can put my ends on a new cable tomorrow.

I snapped the port side shift cable over the weekend. Fortunately it came to my attention in the middle of the lake that I was stuck in forward not while docking. None the less I need to get a new one ordered. Does anyone have a part number and length or do I have to pull it out of the boat in order...

Please don't throw it away!!! Someone stole the pump out of our boat while in storage and I've been looking everywhere for a new one that isn't $600. I will happily pay for shipping and give you a couple hundred for the pump. Please let me know if it's still available.

Today I backed each valve off 1/4 turn from where they were which helped brought all cylinders up to 145-150 psi. The part that made me feel really dumb is while the valve covers were off I watched very closely which valve was opening when and came to the conclusion that I wasn't 180 degrees off but...

I'll try backing them all off a little this afternoon. What about the firing order though?

Valves adjusted to tight When we adjusted the valves we followed the following steps: 1: warm engine to operating temp 2: back off valve until you hear chatter 3: slowly tighten until chatter is gone 4: tighten 1/4 turn and wait ten seconds. Repeat until tightened a total of 3/4 turn. 5: repeat ste...

Yeah I tried reversing it 180 degrees and setting the order correctly and that was definitely not correct.

We have a 1983 Trojan 10 meter. The engines are Crusader model 350. Over winter we had the heads freshened up on the port (standard rotation) engine and all seemed to be going well until we had it running. There was a slight miss, no backfiring, started easy, just a slight miss most noticeable under...

We're still boating on Minnetonka!!! Watched the Viking's game yesterday under sunny skies and almost 55 degree weather

The temp may be dropping but we're still boating in MN. Pretty sure we can get a couple more weeks out of the boat before temps start consistently dropping below freezing.

Big D in the diagram above I don't see any need to manage anything with the switchs in normal use . You have two sepreate systems charged by its own engine. The only thing I would like to see added is a switch to conect the bank together if needed ( other then the emercency start switch ) . Am I mi...

Sorry if those look like selector switches. They are not, just On/Off switches (breakers) for the bank in our electric panel. I should also mention that even with the switches off our refrigerator and two bilge pumps stay powered but everything else DC shuts off. Other than the emergency connect we ...

I think this is something like what Big D is talking about. Maybe in yours you could put all of the house stuff on one bank so the second bank is always untouched. On our boat it's wired just like this diagram and is stock from Trojan. Of course we have another battery (generator bank) that we can a...

First of all a 400 watt stereo is rated at Peak output. Typically it's not going to be putting out anywhere near 400 watts. That being said even if it were running peak the entire time it's only drawing about 33 amps. Your batteries should be rated around 800 amp-hours (or more) so in theory you cou...
