Wipe the hoses with a wet rag then smell them.I went thru diesel smell hell until I took a cabinet apart and found the fill hose permeated with diesel.It was likely original and had delaminated. By the way I tried all degreasers,odor eaters ect. If its a bad hose replacement is the only answer...

Thanks all. OB

I have a contract on a Jefferson 50ft MY. The boat has four 4D AGM batteries under the seat of the dinette for the inverter. They are bulging a little but worked well during a 4-5 survey. I suspect I will be buying new ones soon. There are no dates on the batteries. My question is whether or...

Bulging disc I am a urologist and unfortunately I have a disk problem as well. A bulging disc can certainly be decompressed where itis impinging on the cord. It looks like you have some decent disc Remaining between the vertebral bodies. Good luck with the surgery.

Thanks for the help. The graphite was put in without cutting strips. Does it need to be cut in sections like teflon?

recently my mechanic repacked my stuffing box with graphite. I had teflon before He told me the graphite packing should not drip at all even underway. I've read that graphite disperses heat much better than teflon and drips less but I still had concerns. We left the marina -idiling for ten...

thanks for the help . I'll flush the head with vinegar,OB

sorry - sent my response but didnt come through. We ;use the bow head more since the tank is 6 ft away and we therefore put less water in waste tank.The aft head is probably 15 to 18ft away from the waste tank.The heads use lake water. There has never been an immediate smell from flushing the...

Smell head Sorry did not answer all the questions. There is a shower in the bow head. I have cleaned it . It has very little smell. The only time we get true waste smell is when the tank is full.

i have electric heads fore and aft. The bow cabin opens to the head. There is an acrid smell in the head and the cabin. I sealed the bowl with plastic wrap and the smell dimenished noticeably. The other head has no smell and no bad smells come out the vent with a flush. We keep the tank...

we finally have water. Took out the washer dryer and put in a 75 gallon plastic tank. Not a lot of water but we rarely stay out more than two days and our heads draw from the lake.Showers have to be quick.OB

finally decided the water tank could not be repaired in situ without major demolition. We cut the closet door to the washer dryer space and took the washer out and broke it down. It must have been original since there was no way to get it out without cutting some wood. We found the hatch under...

finally getting around to the leak. My mechanic feels we can cut a hatch in the top of the tank then pour in epoxy to seal the leak. Unfortunately the only exposure is a one ft. by one ft.hatch thru the aft cabin floor. I had a waste tank leak as well which was solved by sealing the bottom and...

finally getting around to the leaky water tank. Only access is a one foot square hatch in the aft cabin floor. The main fuel tank lies on top of the water tank under the bed but the tank extends another four feet forward. I'm thinking about putting in a bladder rather than taking out the floor...

I have a 1988 californian. Had a slight vibration after touching a muddy bottom. The marina went overboard - I asked them to check the running gear and check the alignment. The props were sent to a local prop shop. I drove the boat back to our marina and immediately heard a squeal from the...

Sorry for the delay in responding. My water tank is under the aft bed but also under the main fuel tank. There is a hatch to access the top of the tank but it is small

Recently I touched bottom in mud for a few seconds. The result was a slight vibration in the starboard side. could only feel it by placing my hand on the shaft. Took it to our marina shop to check it out. Apparently one of the starboard motor mounts was loose. We had run the boat only once since...

water tank yes it is fiberglass . and there is a hatch that exposes the tank. He mentioned cleaning the inside thoroughly and spraying the entire inside.We do not have parquet flooring - just plywood.Thanks

we have a leak in the water tank of our Californian 45. Started as a small trickle. we can still can keep water for three or four days. It appears to be from the bottom which is out of site. One boat mechanic has recommended opening the top via the hatch at the foot of the cabin berth and...

Its a drum, I emailed the company - thanks for the help

we have a gravity drop Muir windlass. My last windlass had two pedals and very easy to use. This one has a brake on top and I am not sure how to drop and retrieve. would appreciate any help.

we also found lead under the carpet. some of it had bubbled up and cracked. We decided to cover it with Eco-bond. Found it on the EPA website. My wife was worried about grandkids playing on the salon floor.

i took the cover off the input hose and put the shopvac over the vent and got out some dirty looking diesel and then was able to fill the tank -slowly

fuel switches I have a 1988 45ft californian and the factory installed panel was put in upside down. Luckily we found the original owner to explain it all.
