I’m in La. And the boat I’m looking at is in FL. Here’s one thing I’m concerned about, I’ll have to go through a lock or two. Never been through a lock. The biggie is I’m going solo. Oh well, it ain’t nothing but a thang. P.S. the boat is 50’ and no thrusters. Keep your eyes on the news. Lol

Thanks guys.

OP is not gone. I just tried to keep it short. But here we go. I’m 75, worked and saved all my life with help from wife. No kids and everything we own is paid for. Sold my last boat for 100k; they paid me cash even though I didn’t ask them to. Deposit it in my bank. But many times I say I...

How do people buy a boat with cash without getting red flags? Also, brokers look at you like you’re a drug dealer. I’m 73, worked forever, saved, now just want to buy a nice boat and relax. Advice please. P.S. I don’t keep my savings in a bank. Another problem.

Tried everything still no change

The AC breaker is the one I jumped out thinking the contacts may be dirty. I also traced the wires to one of the safety relays. Got desperate and replaced it with a new one. Same result. Checked wiring for loose connections but didn’t check for corrosion. I’ll try that tomorrow. Thanks Tree.

No, there’s 2 breakers mounted on the junction box mounted on the generator. A small round push button and a toggle just below it. I even tried jumping it out in case it was going bad. Same results.

No one has been able to tell me what is going on with my genny. It starts and runs fine, after starting it will only put out about 30v per leg. But if I flip the toggle switch breaker on the junction box it will put out 120/240. I tried re-exciting the windings. No change. This is the...

Thanks a bunch. If you find the part numbers that would great.

Yes, 120 HP.

Someone posted info a pics of how he hacked the secondary fuel filter with a single remote system. I've looked everyehere and cannot find it. can anyone help? Thanks

Did the temp sender work in the plug for pressure readings? Also, OK I’m stupid. Where is the drain plug?

It has to be me. This was the first time I topped off one of my fuel tanks. I wanted to get an accurate 20 gal. marks and total capacity for each tank. Here’s the setup, I shut off all valves to isolate the tank. Made sure the tank vent was clear. Started pumping an called out every 20...

The PO installed a pressure gauge in one of the pipe fittings next to the vent on the top of the transmission. It works fine for the pressure but not sure if it will work for the temp.

Happy and Merry to everyone. Spent my holidays in the engine room looking for a way to spend more money on my boat. I know, I’ll put temp gauges on my trannys. Now, where to install the senders. Any advice? Trannys are BW 72C. All advice welcomed.

I’ll try to post a picture later. Decided to bite the bullet, drained all water tanks so fitting is above water line. Now in the process of gathering the parts to replace the rusted away part. It appears to be a thru hull vent fitting. Guess whoever installed it thought that the water would...

There was a small amount of water collecting in my bilge. Finally traced it to my sea chest. There is a small fitting in the upper corner. That is where the water is coming from. Anyone know what it is and how to fix the leak?

Just built a new FB dash with new gauges. I have space for one more gauge. Which is more important tranny pressure or temp. Thanks

Took your advice. Downloaded manual. It’s a high temp switch wire. Something I might need connected. Lol. Manual didn’t show location but I found it. The P.O. installed a new Gen just before I bought it. Must have been a factory uh oh. All good now. Thanks guys. PS. I need to update my...

Just below the wires there is a, I guess an oil pressure safety switch. In the top are threads for something. Maybe it connects there. Don’t want to try it without advice. Thanks

It’s the two gray wires connected to the oring terminal.

Both pics should be rotated 90 deg.

I took pictures. Still trying to figure how to them posted
