Unfortunately, the turbo unit on our '78 Mainship 34 Perkins Range 4 Series 6.3544 engine has failed and the shop doing the work up here in the Seattle area can not find any Perkins replacement parts. They are looking at something from China as a replacement unit but don't have those details as...

Yeah, 2 owners back out here on Lopez was a retired coast guard guy and he really did all the major mods I believe. Very detailed wiring diagrams, number coded wiring, and manuals for every single system in 3-ring binders! Honestly, were very new to this kind of boat and still learning all the...

Wow, just looking at your post thread regarding your MS 34 engine removal project! Looks like quite a job for sure. Sure hope our engine issue does not come to pulling the engine. Just purchased the boat last Oct with only 285 hrs on the rebuilt engine. Also interesting to see how the engine...

Thanks Shawn. I have no idea how it sheared off. We just purchased in Oct 2020 and only run 50 hrs since May. Used the fly bridge most of the season. Minimal pressure and it just went limp.. Boat is about to go on the hard for the winter so no big rush. Could use your old ones once your...

Had the toothed metal mount pin on the fwd/rev throttle lever completely shear off yesterday, leaving me stuck in reverse near rocky shoreline. Glad we had the flybridge helm! Need to locate a replacement control box. Anyone know where to find such parts. I'm located in San Juan...
