Helping a friend install a macerator and it requires a 25 Amp breaker. We removed a 10 Amp that wasn't being used and it was a Klixon, 60Volt, 10Amp. It has a model number 4MC6-1-10 BOA (the -10 is for the amperage I'm pretty sure) Where could I get a Klixon 60Volt, 25 Amp breaker that would...

Thanks for the information. Great documentation and pictures. The lucky Tortuga has gone through some major TLC. We are going to try taking the tanks out without disturbing the engine--seems to be plenty room to work. The two 200 plus gallon tanks are a little excessive for cruising around...

Is there any place that might have the original drawings of the fuel tanks for a 1977 37" Puget Trawler? Trying to get an idea on how to design new aluminum tanks so they match the hull like the original. I'm thinking some forward thinking individual would have saved the original drawings for...

Just an update on that Velvet Drive problem. We removed the transmission and it was the drive plate. There is a smaller center plate with the grooves that go over the transmission spline which is riveted on the large plate having the springs. all the rivets were sheared off. Except for the...

I really appreciate all the replys--what a collection of experience. Considering the age, an overhaul would be in order, but it does sound like a drive plate. Thanks for the tip on supporting the engine also, probably something that would be obvious, but nice to know. Really a great, well...

velvet drive Thanks for the reply. The fluid level was OK, so I think it may be a blocked line, or under the heading of "bigger problems". It's a sweet little transmission and has given countless hours of service, now it's time to give back. Thanks again, dingy

I have a 1977 Puget Trawler, 37' with the standard Ford Lehman 120 with a Velvet Drive transmission. Today I was coming into the dock and shifted to reverse to swing in and nothing happened-the transmission failed to engage. There was no sound like something snapped or no grinding. After...

Thanks, I'll check on that today. I located a good match at a high end place yesterday from Italy--brand name Abet Laminati, #130 Lucida, But need to buy a huge sheet (like 55"x150") for much more than I want to spend. I'll take the sample and compare it to Formica 459. I'm sure it will be...

Thanks Jennifer--I'll check it out. Dave

Hi Ron, Lowes was the first place I went--they carry floor laminant here but not countertop. I might go back and try a different salesperson--sometime they don't know what they carry. We thought about replacing it all but the rest looks good so thought we'd hold off for a while. I think a...

Mike, thanks for the quick reply. Wish I knew who the original manufacturer was--probably someone in Thailand. I'll check with customer support at Formica and Wilsonart and send them a sample. Sometime the easiest jobs turn into a real fiasco.

We have a 37' Puget Trawler (1977) and need a peice of laminant about 26"x26" to match the existing countertop. I'm running into a problem where they sell laminant--the original is a high gloss/solid color (white). Seems most laminants nowadays are a satin finish and the glossy samples are a...

Mike, The admiral has good taste. What a beautiful job.
