    For Sale: (3) Galleymaid pumps (macerator and raw water in one)

    we are having 3 galley maid heads replaced. the combo macerator/raw water pumps are all working great and with minimal effort would be good for another 100 years probably. we are in st pete. I'm listing for sale, but will happily give them to someone who needs them for parts or refit. buy me a 6...

    240/120v switch

    Yup. After digging in with my (finally aboard tools and trustworthy fluke meter) I can confirm that this is a dumbly labeled switch. It indeed selects what the voltmeter shows and that's it.

    240/120v switch

    Genius. This is almost entirely it. I was staring at the wiring this morning this is probably correct. I'll stab it with a fluke tomorrow and see if that makes sense with how it's wired...

    240/120v switch

    thanks, interesting. i have basically the same, but as i mentioned they have no been labeled to correspond as inverter 1 and 2... wonder if they were previously like that and in 2015 when they added new generators and second inverter they just followed that logic to make it inverter 1 and 2.

    240/120v switch

    thanks for the various comments. here are some more general thoughts. sorry for the possible red herring on generator not running AC, probably unrelated. the boat is a 1977 cheoy lee 61 LRC. it's old enough and unique enough that hoping someone has the same scenario is... hopeless. i was...

    240/120v switch

    Howdy. I bought a boat, my first big'un. I'm trying to unwind how the electrical system works. Consider me smarter than the average bear when it comes to electronics and electrical systems... Yet I'm befuddled. What does the switch in the attachment do? Some info/assumptions... The boat...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    That one is a mess. The owner is sick and elderly and the boat is in bad shape. The listing broker told me even a couple experienced boat yard flippers have walked away saying it would need be under 6 figures to make a profit or make it livable.

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    Honestly the diesel surveyor and I sat back and chatted. The exhausts have basically failed (leaking at the barrels under load), there's oil in the coolant (we think owner confused coolant and oil jug) , many oil leaks (he used Rotella 5-30 and not delo 100 as required by Detroit), yadda...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    Amazing!!! Good luck with the process and the seatrial! Let me know how it goes. (and ya know, delivery time....) happy to exchange some notes on where we ended up etc...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    That's amazing. I think that boat is in better shape than discipleship but today was a good day. Got both engines running (no issue just no one ever reset the e-stop and I couldn't figure it out) played the "where are all the sea strainers" game, were sorting out how the drinking water system...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    Send a link!! Is it play pen? We had wanted to see that one but the broker was a huge jerk and basically made it clear we shouldn't bother trying to fly to Bermuda to look, just make an offer... We hadn't hired a broker yet so suffice to say we neither viewed it nor hired that guy.

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    Agreed. If ever there were a vessel.... She's a beast but she's got about an acre up top for a solar farm and two detroit 671s plus 2700 gallons of deisel and tankage equals lots of space and weight budget for batteries! Alas today it's new exhausts, full what exchanger rebuilds, couplea pumps...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    Take a look at the one I linked too above. The only difference is the extra Cockpit space. No change in interior volume between the 55 and the 61... We close in a few hours, just waiting for the text!!! What 40 footer do you have now? What's your home port? We're based in st Pete for now.

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    We've thought about it but the 671s are pretty bullet proof and fuel consumption is good. It's not a rebuild just deferred maintenance from previous owners we need to do. I'm more apt to run the boat like it is and repower with electric.... What's a ROM on repower? I'd love if it two 130hp...

    Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

    She handed amazingly well. Some mechanical issues on the 671s (some very uncomfortable exhaust issues that will necessarily require immediate big money repairs) but she handles well, very responsive, but just very soft and comfortable. We cannot wait....

    a lot to learn and plenty of time to learn it.

    totally. we assumed that from the beginning and the owner confirmed burns about 1MPG at 8mph. still not too shabby.

    a lot to learn and plenty of time to learn it.

    what have we done? we close on the 29th, she goes to the yard for some long due maintenance on the 1st of august. this is her: our brokers listing previous listing with denison we will have questions. a LOT of questions.... mostly the first ones are all "what have we done?"

    a lot to learn and plenty of time to learn it.

    welp. survey complete. lots of "deferred maintenance" which we expected but possible major issue with stabilizers (continuous high temp alert or just a bad gauge according to the owner...) and the exhaust/muffler was leaking under hard loading... no bueno. also obvious oil in coolant (like no...

    a lot to learn and plenty of time to learn it.

    haha, already had one in the engine room during a viewing. there was a rando knob in the helm and some boxes on top of an enginer with various connections and as i was contemplating the owner returned (we had welcomed them back to their own boat to chat a little and get a tour) and it turned out...

    be ready, i'm gonna be like a first time grandpa, you'll be sick of the pictures posts!!! (and the cruising posts, and the question posts, and the panicky what is this knob for posts, and the freakout holding tank posts, and the.....)

    haha, being circumspect because i believe "it ain't until it is" so it's not my boat until at least july 15th.... the boat is a cheoy lee. PC.... port charlotte? haha, be sure, because we will 100% take you up on that offer. no dock queen here, so we are making all kinds of initial cruising...
