Can you point me to the law about this? I've change several on my boats and I'd hate to end up in MMSI prison. Seriously though, I've read through the USCG info about changing the MMSI and I don't see that rule. Thanks

I don't know if it's more "rolly polly" than any other round chine boat. It's mostly a comfortable ride but it can roll around some if the sea state is bad. I try not to get caught out in bad seas. I know, I'm a sissy but I need to keep my wife in boating.

My fuel consumption pretty much mirrors Rogers. Same tank shape. I have a hard time slowing to 7.5 knots. I usually cruise at 9 knots burning 3 gallons per hour. My engines are 6.354 turbo. Had to replace a turbo this year. That sucked.

Thanks anyway.

I'll take your Onan MDJE spares. Please PM me with payment info.

I would be interested in buying it if you decide to sell it. I like tinkering around with broken stuff.

I own a Gulfstar 43 trawler. I find both heads very roomy. I think the heads are larger than on comparable sized boats I've been on. Regarding the beds in the rear stateroom, I sleep on the port side and my wife sleeps on the starboard. We've got plenty of room. I don't have the exact...

I've used Citimarine several times. They are competitive on price and their customer service is fantastic. On one order I bought 2 cutlass bearings and bought the wrong size. I had some fiberglass work to do before I could reinstall the struts, I did not realize that I had the wrong size for...

Good job Tim. Silly question but what paint did you use on your Perkins and where did you find it?

JimW, all I know is that the wire gauge is the same but the plug ends are not the same. Dhayes is correct, 50 amp 125v is not the same as 50 amp 125/250v. I hate to cut the ends off a new cord but I guess its an option.

Cord is 50 feet long.

I have a Marinco 50 amp 125v shore power cord for sale. It's like brand new. It's never been plugged in. I bought the wrong one for my boat. :banghead::banghead: Be sure this is the cord you need. Doing dumb stuff costs money!! You pay cost of shipping. I'll pack it up and take it to UPS...

1980 Her Shine 37 Trawler. It was built in Kaohsiung, Taiwan by Her Shine Inc. Says so on the website.

Hey Angus, there was a thread a couple of weeks ago describing your exact problem with part numbers, etc. Different fridge but likely similar if not identical parts: http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/vitrifrigo-repairs-35428.html Maerin came up with the part numbers for Vitrifrigo. Your...

x2 what Alabama Boater said. I live in Tennessee on the Cumberland river (which becomes Lake Barkley) near LBL (Land Between the Lakes) and you must winterize here.

Maybe people say they are selling because of health problems are having health problems and they don't want to deal with a boat while dealing with health issues. Heart issues, stroke, and cancer come suddenly and change your world in a moment. A Seller who is selling because of health issues may...

Thanks for the fridge Jacques. Made it home with it and plan on ordering the part tomorrow.

You can buy a crimper from "RC" Rod Collins, a/k/a Maine Sail at https://shop.marinehowto.com/products/ftz-94285-correct-crimp-battery-lug-crimp-tool You can also get them on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/p/FTZ-94284-6-250mcm-Range-Heavy-Duty-Lug-Crimp-Tool/1653922919?iid=392036374393&chn=ps

Thanks for the info Donna. Your paint job looks great. You may have given me the confidence to try i myself. Everything I've ever painted looks like a third grader did it.

What paint did you use? How many coats?

I looked at a Defever 40 in Texas. I loved the boat but I could not get my wife to buy into the deal. I ended up with a Gulfstar 43 trawler, also in Texas. I really liked the single engine in the Defever. Lots of room in the engine room. But.... you have to be careful with those old Defevers...

I've had them in 2 different boats. Heat exchangers are expensive and somewhat scarce when they need replaced. The only thing I've ever had to do was have the injector pumps rebuilt. Great engines. I wouldn't worry about them. Is this boat in Texas?

Stan, My experience with cheap scopes is that the quality of the image is pitiful. They look good when you see them in the store with plenty of light but when you stick them down an injector hole you can't tell what you are looking at. They may have gotten better in recent years. This was 3 or 4...

Put this blade in your Fein tool https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/mobileportal/show_product.do?pid=3332 It's made specifically for what you are trying to do. Why reinvent the wheel?

I had a Perkins 6.354 NA engine in my Albin 36. It was a replacement for the original Lehman that came in the boat. Great engine. I have twin Perkins 6.354t in my current boat. Again, great engines, although if it needs exhaust manifold replacement it may be difficult (not impossible) to source.
