Does anyone have a flow schematic of fuel manifold for CC connie/ 501. There are 3 Groco 6 port valves. Trying to "explain" is too complicated...I need a diagram. There is 1 valve for each engine and a center "emergency" crossover. HELP! Gary D

Phi Fill is right on the money. We've been Direct TV cust for ever. I leave a receiver at the Camp and put a "Weinguard" Sat Dish on my ...shhhhh boat/RV! Once you're dialed in it works great. It took a few seasons to learn the system. Here's it is; never mention boat, always ask for Customer...

sdowney, Thanks. You know, the old 37 Egg was one of my favorites back in the day. In fact my Buddy's father-in-law bought the " Queen of the show" a 37 ? Egg at the NY boat show, I think early 70s. The boat next to my 1962 40ft Colonial was a beautiful 48ft Golden Egg SF, at Great Kills Staten...

SDOWNEY, Thanks for the info. Shaft is 2 1/2 inches and coupling is super heavy duty with no "locking nut" like most boats. Mine and probably all newer 50 Connies are same with collar and two locking bolts, one on each side.I did measure and did math and think it's 1/2 but not sure and it's...

Anyone know for sure what size flax the 6V92 stuffing boxes use on the drive shafts? Looks like 1/2 in. to me but not sure. Gary

No, bought for a way to be out of harms way june to dec and have been renting when not using. Now want to sell...looking for a dock?

Craig, Are you really in Hotel, Calif now? Boy, this new technology...your letters come out so clear from that far away. Where do you boat and what do you boat in? and thanks for fixing things. Can I list a dock for sale or rent in N Myrtle Beach on this same site? Gary

Tom/Craig, I see how Tom thought I was looking for a loop boat. I was responding to someone who IS looking. Sorry about that.I think something was dropped on my post and they added boat for sale 1998 501. Craig, can you correct that to 1988 or do I have to contact the "For Sale Police"? Gary

Tom, This is the first I thought about selling. The boat does get a good bit of attention and will probably just put a sign on her in Ft Meyers .Not sure what you mean. We don't travel much any more by boat.Am into my 70,s and don't want to deal with all those problems that come up with cruising...

Bold Rascal, You did get a lot of good info above. The old saying "Buyer Beware" prevails. I went through the exact same situation on my 43 Viking years ago. The broker was honorable and replaced a $300 part for me. I never asked if meters worked but like you, made the determination on the trip...

cambria lady 1988 501 for sale Yes it is painted. It's the same as the other good quality poly urethane paints like awgrip and imron .It's by EMC and is one of the very few that can be "blended" without repainting an entire section...and the shine is real, looks even better in person and has...

Craig, You are good! How'd you do that so quick? By the way, no stabilizers and no auto pilot.Never was from new.

Chris 501 1988 For Sale Craig, Thanks for the help offer.Please email me from your email as I can't really navigate this forum. I can email pictures to you with wife's help. ,I think. I may have put my post in the wrong spot...so I apologize to the Forum Police. On the Boat it is called a...

Tried to post this before with no luck. Looking for a trawler for the great loop? I have something you might be interested in. We have a 1988 501 we bought in 2013. It wasn't a project boat but we did do a pretty complete restore project (over 100K) while using her as a winter home in Ft Myers...

If anyone has had any experience with the washer dryer setup on the 501... the only "access" that I can find to the back is through the cabinet below the sink (without creating a new one). I simply can't believe that ANY boat builder would make a w/d as impossible to service as CC seems to have...

unanchored We own a 1988 CC 501. At 1200 rpm and 12 mph, the 6V92's and 20kw 4cyl Onan burn 8.5 gph TOTAL! I'm not sure if that makes it a trawler because she CAN cruise at 17 mph and burn 28 gph as well, with a top speed of 26 mph at ?gph, with the full enclosure open! We are thinking about...

David, I would ABSOLUTELY shrink wrap a 38 ft boat for $600. Well worth it and 600 is a deal! I shrink wrap in Florida as well. I was the only one when I started to to store my 501 Chris but when others saw the result, many started doing the same. Down south there's other things you have to do...

Capt Bill 11, Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Was in Fla and very busy! Paint job by Diversified involved 2 years and lots of other stuff. Boat looks absolutely NEW! I would guess paint(waterline up and deck fittings removed) was probably $60,000+. Also replaced old wood bow rail with new SS bow...

CC 501 Questions This is really a new post vs reply(forgot how to post new!). I have been working on my "88 501 since 2013 and am ALMOST near done, if there is such a thing! Eg: rebuilt port eng w/900 hrs due to riser failure, ,complete maintenance on all engines, pulled/rebuilt running gear...

Reply to Capt V Capt V sent, "I'm concerned about the 6v92TA engines. Isn't 550hp way too much for a 6 cylinder engine". You're probably right, this is MY first experience with "2cycle" diesels,but a friend of mine runs his 501(6V92s) at manuf spec rpms which is about 1800rpm and 175F, and...

Francois, I understand all the things you want on a boat and do agree however I would look for a comp vessel that already has most all those items. If you can put 200k into a 25 year old boat, I feel you would be better off with some else's 200-300k updates for far less! As you know, you will...

full displcement hull Keep one thing in mind EVERY time you go out, We' re Pleasure Boaters. I've had big boats for (40-50 ft) for over 40 years and boated on the East Coast out of Great Kills SI with a 40 sportfish and ran several Jersey inlets and had to heave to more than once as we couldn't...

I took a 1977 CC 35 double cabin in trade to sell a larger Viking. There's a couple things I noticed that I may replace if it doesn't sell "as is " before next season. I could use some info if anyone can help... 1. the helm is very hard to port and fair to starboard. I think it's the cable and...

mansfield head keeps cycling I've completely rebuilt several vacuum toilets ,pumps , tanks. There are several places that can leak but I have found that the toilet ball to seal is the biggest culprit. If it's been in a long time, change it. It's a very simple fix and don't let it scare you...
