National Boat Owners (NBOA) had the best rate for my 1978 '37 have been pretty happy with the customer service (though I have not had to file a claim). Their website is https://www.nboat.com/

I would be interested in a copy as well. Does not directly fit my boat but may help.

I had two of them out on my '78 over the winter, one to replace and one to re-seal. Remove the outer trim ring and the screws on the inside, removing the outer trim should let you get in and cut the adhesive/sealant. I might still have the broken one at home and could take some pictures but there is...

I believe the 2nd oil pressure switch keeps the alternator/generator off when the engine is not running - looking at the schematic last weekend and there is an oil pressure switch on the input to the voltage regulator.

I have a 1978 '37 dual cabin with 440's - bought it last summer. with the starbord engine down on power (bad intake valve on cyl 1), it would run about 28 mph at 4000 rpm port / 3800 rpm starbord, thinking now with the head re-built it should do 30 mph at a little over 4000 rpm.

The post does not spin in the base but it wobbles - I need figure out how to tighten that up first. Shimming the seats up 2 inches seems like an akward solution - might end up going there if there are no taller posts available but I still need to remove the post from the base.

Thanks

The left seat on my flybridge wobbles - the post moves in the base on the floor (was able to get the seat side tightned up). How do I remove the post? It moves but I cannot pull it out. I would actually like to add a few inches to all of the bridge seats by changing out the post's - has anyone done ...

What I meant to ask was how to remove the nuts on the existing railing - I realize the replacements are aluminum riv-nuts but what is on the boat now is machine screws and nuts - right? or are the existing fastners stainless steel screws into the aluminum deck?
