    Chilled water cooling question

    It may not be able to heat the water enough to make a difference. The flow rate through the water heater would be to great to allow any real heat transfer.

    This is true of gas engines that have liners as well. A big problem is that an over heat will cause a slight problem that then grows into a head gasket replacement. The replacement is done by a brother in law, friend or owner that knows not about liner engines and when they remove the head...

    Venting a Smelly Raw Water Line

    The CL police will be screaming but if the system already exists and it seems that it does the easy fix is. Cut a bit off of one of the swimming pool tablets, stick it in the strainer basket, let is set for 15 or 20 minutes. Run the system, close the through hull. Take out the sea strainer...

    Anyone ever open a Lectra San?

    Is the Lectrosan or Purasan approved in Canada so that you do not have to disconnect your discharge line?

    New Age tranny lubrication

    Maybe with their company but not with all. The defining factor with some is if the transmission has a pressure pump or not. Pressure pump ATF non pressure pump Engine oil. The old Paragons used the linkage to engage the clutch pack so they had no pressure pump but the newer ones in most...

    Cold Starting Question

    True statement. In fact temps in the 80 or 90 degree range are a cold start to some degree as far as the engine internal parts are concerned. A warm start is when the engine is up to temp and has been running for a while. It's all in how you look at things.

    Cold Starting Question

    Turning over and starting are two different things. In this case it would not turn over fast enough. So it can't start. If it turns at 500 rpm and doesn't start there is a different problem. But she has to spool up to start.

    New Age tranny lubrication

    So true. Some Paragons use motor oil. There are some transmissions set up to use the engine oil as their lube. If I remember correctly an Atomic four uses the same oil for both Transmission and engine. In fact the same pan on the Atomic four...

    Cold Starting Question

    It wasn't cold. The temps were in the 50's by noon. The engine room was in the 50's at least if not warmer all night. It may have gotten to 29* for two minutes at night but the water temp is still high at out marina. NS hit on it. What oil weight is in the engine? Your battery may be a...

    Radar on the ICW

    I agree, ours is on when we leave the dock. Then again you could always have a video that you could pop in and become an expert in less that 30 minutes as Marin claims.;)

    Wiper Motor Questions

    Tom, The way to fix that on your is to get a piece of Starboard and cut our a pillow block for under the pantograph mount. Mount the pillow block then mount the pantograph. I have some in the dock box at my boat. Easy fix.

    Consignment / Used boat equipment store list

    As Beachbum has said. The insurance company owns the boat. They won't let anyone take parts without buying the boat from them (insurance company). No one will buy the boats because after the usable parts are taken off there is no "crusher" like in cars to get rid of them. Fiberglass hulls...

    TF slow today

    This is the same problem I incurred last week. It seems that Explorer decided to change some settings as it saw fit on my computer. If you go to the Gear in the top right of your window just under the Close box and click there the drop down has at the bottom "Internet options", click that then...

    Jarrett Bay is too hit and miss. They are not there every day so if you drive down from New Bern you might waste a trip. Rusty Ron's started out being competitive several years ago but now they want within a few bucks of WM. Also before they would come to an agreement price but as of lately...

    Just in it three weeks ago. Don't know about better as I had never been there before. But it seems about the same as any other I have been in. The exception to this is the one on US 1 in Fort Pierce FL. The Marine Connection Liquidators. Marine Connection Liquidators Clean and neat...

    Why did you buy your boat?

    My wife had almost the same criteria as yours except for the two staterooms and the ladder up. The first two were the most important. Our ladder up is a stairs that is easy for the dog to climb up and descend down. I wanted single, good access in the engine room all around, good economy and...

    My only problem is that sometime even the person that is ignored can have some useful information to me. So ignore the thread works better for me as need be.
