All the dripless shaft seals I've looked at have two connectors, one for the crossover allowing either engine to provide water. On another forum...
What mesh size? As long as it only blocks particles too big to pass harmlessly through the shaft seals, it is beneficial. If it blocks smaller...
Seems like that filter plugging up would be no better than the line plugging up, and more likely...? I guess it would be good to pop that line on...
They cut your odds by half I suppose, but how would you know if one side was plugged? I didn't think plugging of these was that common. I did...
Did him a favor then.
On mine it would have to plug the lines from both engines to overheat, I think most are set up with a crossover. I guess if one side plugged up,...
That was my situation. I came in without a buyer broker, but well informed. My wife took over negotiations as I had a month of fairly intense...
The previous owner of my boat wouldn't bring the boat in from his summer home on an island without an offer and deposit. The broker wasn't...
Any legal or insurance implications in chartering a personal vessel that hasn't been chartered? Covering expenses sounds simple. As a seller,...
Would that be less quick in colder climates? Most of us park our boats for six months or longer up here. My boat came from Canada, lots of long...

Some engines are much more easily rebuilt than others. Some can be rebuilt in hull, some need to be hoisted out. If the interior is also needing...
No worries. I've been away from boating for a while. I know a lot about building custom industrial assembly machinery, have to be reminded what...
This is a simple ball valve, the simplest step up from a plug I can do here, a seemingly logical fix to a design problem of limited access. My...
Once they are reinstalled, they will take two hands to install a pipe plug, and I don't think it will be possible to reach with both hands. A...
A few posters have mentioned that, and I agree it is a concern I have to consider. I want the fiberglass guy to add glass to the muffler, and...
That can't hurt. I described what I'm doing in an email to Centek, will see what they think.
Yes, I use thread inserts often when building industrial machinery. This is basically a thread insert, epoxied into/under the existing hole in...
They were plugged, each had a different screw held in the holes with sealant, obviously not stock. That is odd, because the rest of the boat is...
I use heated storage. I still drain the raw water and everything I can, to prevent things getting slimy, zebra mussels, and just in case the...
