I have 3 minor issues to clear from the Readiness Log for my Nordic Tug 42 Clock Work to be in peak condition to go back on the market. One of them has been an unconventionally expressed oil leak at my Onan 11.5KW generator. This was just solved... the part's been ordered from Kubota.. etc...

I have a long-latency (days) high-flow oil leak on my Onan MDKAW. Preliminary diagnosis... It leaks all the way down to the bottom of the pan -------> it's the pan Facts... ○ This began after MONTHS (6... more?) on the hard. ○ I had to get thru some leak-test training from the AF in 1981...

Selling my 2005 NT42 Flybridge. I've put together a web site that covers most things people will be wondering. https://www.clockwork-usa.com Well maintained by a very mechanical owner. The all-mechanical (i.e. reduced-complexity/higher reliability) Cummins 6CT engine.. not one of the...

Greetings, I was contacted through my website today by someone with a business proposition that involves my boat... to charter Clock Work, my Nordic Tug 42.. in the north in the summer and the south in the winter, and to make the transit each way some kind of "adventure" thing. This is...

For some time, I'd been trying to get my hands on a set of wiring diagrams showing the attachment points of the system to both charging and, if separate, DC supply. I ended up in a number of forums asking if any NT42 owners who upgraded their SidePower on/off bow thrusters to proportional and...

Greetings, Not specifically about trawlers but defending against methanol harm is obviously popular with boaters... dinghy's/ouboards and such. As this subject came up twice in the last few days from boaters and as I developed a cost/convenience compromise several years back, I've pasted the...

Greetings.. I am seeking a few final sources of good advice before becoming a former boater. The situation is this.. I'm good at taking care of and diagnosing mechanical things and my work never EVER needs to be redone, but I'm pretty used up now. I've observed providers of marine services...

Greetings... the large lack of posts addressing my concern leads me to believe I am missing something big and am a mere few key presses away of once again appearing (I say "appear" as a form of dignity preservation) stupid. So... I want to demineralize my AC systems... I have three fed by a...

Greetings all, I tried hiring out seepage on top of my holding tank for months to no avail... looking at it myself, I see this. It appears to me that the fitting to the tank has cracked and the repair will involve some level of fiberglass work. [/URL][/IMG] Can anyone comment on what their...

Greetings... I'm intending to make greater use of the DSC capabilities of my radios and in reviewing distress calls, I notice one can provide a "nature of the distress" like fire or explosion. However, I'm not sure what one would do for a life-threatening medical emergency. The whole purpose of...

Greetings, I'm trying to pull some corroded SS carriage bolts out of my swim platform while its on the hard. They hold the platform to the brackets. The threads are really furry with 10 years of rust and while I've made the nut move with a mix of ATF/acetone, I need to to find some way for...

I understand that siphon breaks have a valuable role but found none on my boat. The manufacturer told me they "never saw the need" or something similar... that is not the structure of an explanation I find convincing. Can anyone explain why I don't need them on my NT42? Gilhooley

I'm trying to spiff up a dingy that came with my Nordic Tug and am encountering things for the first time. Can someone tell me if this is a cleanable problem, or is permanent wear or sun damage? If it's cleanable, I'm not finding the right magic yet. Thanks in advance.

I have a situation where to my eye, a filter needs to be changed but the majority of people at my marina say it wouldn't make sense. Rather than a 1000 words... does that black material at the bottom constitute a reason to pull the filter? If not, can you please give some detail as to why...

My first post here.. seems like an incredible resource/community. So I have a leak in one of my heads I need to address (bit of a challenge given some back issues so I'm arming up with knowledge before diving in). The plumbing materials are foreign to me and I got 3 different answers at Large...
