    Hole in wall of side step

    Capt Marvin. I don’t think so because I got vents just go the left of hole on starboard side and same just to right on port side. I guess a previous owner could have installed the long gated vents and covered up the ones under steps. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Volt meter

    The meter is at 13 when key is off. As soon as you turn key on the meter is pegged and when you crank the engine it stays pegged. I thought maybe it was because I had inverter charger on when I cranked it. But it did the same when I shut inverter and charger off. Haven’t had time to put volt...

    It doesn’t make a sweep. It just stays there pegged when you turn key on. Will check with meter. Thanks

    Alignment of shaft.

    I tried to upload a 30 second video but it said not allowed. It might just be me trying to be to perfect. Will loosen bolts and replace tighten. Thanks

    Alignment of shaft.

    I tried to post a 30 secco deal but it wouldn’t upload. Said it wasn’t allowed. I will loosen up bolts and re tighten. It’s probably just me trying to be to perfect. Thanks

    Alignment of shaft.

    Is there a trick to getting the shaft back to where it was exactly. After replacing real seal in transmission I pulled shaft back up aligning the bolts and tighten them up. It appears I might have a very slight miss alignment. Before a run it out I would like to make sure I didn’t miss anything...

    Where in the world is your Prairie 29?

    I’m 75 and it makes me mad when people think due to my age I shouldn’t be doing something. Age is just a number to me. I’ve always believed that if you don’t use it, you will loose it. I am very blessed that me and my wife do not take any medication. Due take a bunch of vitamins. Man please...

    C71 Borg Warner res seal replacement

    Just saying thanks to everyone that gave me advice. Job is complete and I didn’t have any bolts or washers left over. Waited a day and put new fluid in. Ran engine put in gear and no leaks. It’s a good day. Thanks

    C71 Borg Warner res seal replacement

    No Jeff, I was planning on replacing it with transmission in place watched a utube video and it seem pretty simple if I can get my shaft back a little bit

    C71 Borg Warner res seal replacement

    Need to replace rear seal but was hoping someone could help me on how to remove the coupling so I can get to the coupling nut on the transmission shaft.

    Hole in wall of side step

    Can someone tell me what these holes were cut for? Is it factory cut. I don’t think so. To ragged. Have same hole on both sides of my 29 Prairie. These were covered with a piece of teak. The two steps were covered with teak. Took off the refinish and found standing water inside. Thinking...

    RPM gauge

    I just did my final check. I connected a short jumper to the original wire coming from flybridge with a single female terminal on the end. Cranked engine and tach is working. That shows me my Original wiring from flybridge is OK. It definitely is the 3 prong plug. Will be ordering the one...

    RPM gauge

    Ok guys. I have tied into wire just prior to plug and rpm does not work. Put another female terminal back on jumper and put back on lead at alternator. Rpm works. So it is obvious to me that for some reason the 3 prong plug is bad. Does anyone have any idea where I could get another 3 prong...

    RPM gauge

    Guys, I took my jumper wire from sending unit on back of tach and attached it to the lead on the alternator. Cranked engine and rpm is working. Right now not sure if it is the three prong plug at the alternator end is bad or a break in the wire somewhere. Going try to tie into wire just prior...

    Don, I think I found it this time. I found another brown wire past the junction plug. It went to a 3 prong plug that plugs into the bottom of the alternator. I check the ohms from the gray wire to brown wire just before plug and got a good ohms reading. I then checked the ohms from gray wire to...
