Thanks All for the sugguestions ! I went to HD and an old (opps) seasoned plumber said it sounds like it maybe a material called quest and he believes the material sould be compatable with pex products but he couldn't be positive. Has anybody heard of QUEST pipe? The leak I believe is...

I'm wanting to add 2 water shut off's under the head sink and I'm unfamiliar with the gray plastic type lines they used ! I have a small drip from the shower mixer and the easiest way I can figure is add two shut off's when shower is not needed ! We don't use the shower that much and I'm up for...

Hi Brian, I will be watching this thread closely for the replys at this time no ( thankyou sailing gods ) I don't show any signs of fuel leaking but I'll be watching closely just in case it does ! What year is your boat / engine ? Thanks Chip

Thankyou Keith, I've seen the ads for Beta in the sailing mags ,but don't know of any that have installed one and yes the trans is also a smart move if the engine is swapped out! Thanks again:)

Thankyou all for the input it is MUCH appreciated !! NOW, if a pereson wanted to remove the original 25xp engine and install a more powerful engine which engine would you choose that would be compatable to the transmission ? I' m just tossing the question in the air and see what comes down ...

That would be sweet to get many hours on a diesel , but it probably depends on the maintenance that is performed ! In Florida a marine mechanic told me to change oil every three months even if the engine doesn't run because of the condensation. So, as Forest Gump says, " I went and did it" ...

We just arrived back from the Lower Keys in Florida and I was wondering (IF) a larger engine with more than 21hp has ever been replaced in a 1984 MK III . I put a three bladed prop on and it helped even with a clean bottom I'm only doing 6 knots motor sailing is great but, I'm thinking because...

Thanks for the suggusetions and pic's ! My panel is almost like yours but with the tach in the center with the amp and temp gauge on each side. The glow plug and starter button are located lower left corner and the key and oil toggle on the lower right. I was wondering if I remove the gauges...

Our instrument panel in the cockpit has serious cracks and finding a replacement isn't going well !!!!! All the replies all start with, " I've got bad news that part has been discontinued ". Does anybody have a suggustion ? HELP !!! I believe they call it Admiral because it has the Tach in...

After the cutlas bearing is replaced I hope the vibration and noise was go away it's really annoying !! Hat Hanger

I need to replace the cutlass bearing, is this a job for the ship yard or is it a project I can do during a haul out and bottom job ? 1984 mkII 4'11" draft with a Universal xp25 diesel engine? Thanks, Chip ( Hat Hanger )

holding tank George, I used the B192H.D. on our 35mkII and it fit perfectly with a 6" inspection port on top and an extra vent to have better air circulation, it works great. Ronco Plastics total cost $172.0 ( Hat Hanger ) 1984 # 164 Hope this helps. Chip

Without a haul out how can you tell if the prop is a left hand or a right hand prop ??
