Why don't you get the same mechanic out to check your issue?
Mainly the owner and people who the owner hired to supervise the build were the issue. The boat is very top heavy, they kept adding weight up top...
Northern Marine did and has built some excellent boats. I would say their build quality was on par with Nordhavn most of the time (depending on...
I'm not saying Nordhavns are not a great boat, they are. But between the installation of all equipment, and all of the warranty issues and...
1989 manifolds, even if origional are far past their life expectancy even in freshwater. You're talking 26 years old. Given the age, the exhaust...
You do realize that after a Nordhavn is shipped to the US, it takes them about a year of warrantying lots of stuff to get them right for the...
I had an owner that had one. He ran it all of the way down to the virgin islands and back, all over the place. He liked it so much he bought a...
I think the plans the owners went with and what they wanted in a boat is part of the problem. It looks to be very top heavy.

I doubt it, but you never know. Big nut/small nut you still have 2 nuts. Just guessing, I think the Keyways might be too long and the nut drives...
Smaller nut goes on first. I always lap the props when I put them on, Put them on with the nut a bit loose and spin them with valve grinding...

Hatches you can usually find the gasket material from a good marine supplier or the manufacturer of the hatches. Side windows, it depends on the...
Generally you change the entire end of the plug. If the pins are fried, so is the plastic part and stuff that holds them. It wouldn't make sense...
