Re: Advice/tricks to accessing water pumps on 1986 39DC with twin 454’s

Thanks for the advice Paul. I’ll try what your describing when I get back to the boat on Saturday. I’m not sure my arms will be long enough to reach down to the bottom of the pump while laying on the floor….I’ll certainly try though. Will also pay attention to your advice on the halon system!

Advice/tricks to accessing water pumps on 1986 39DC with twin 454’s

We recently purchased a 39 DC in Ft Loudon TN. We’ve spent a week aboard and another weekend working through many maintenance things. We will be back to the boat this coming weekend and plan to tackle changing the impellers in the raw water pumps on the twin 454’s. From a casual glance and try to ac...

Re: Fuel mileage/consumption/range of a 1986 39 DC

A quick update:
We made the sale final and took possession of our 'new to us' 39DC this past week.
LOTS of elbow grease and tinkering on misc systems but got her ready for cruising. We did a couple of cruises around the Lake Telico area. We ran 40 miles at 2500 RPM (17 MPH) and got .8 MPG

Fuel mileage/consumption/range of a 1986 39 DC

We recently sold our beloved 32 Sedan that we’ve traveled 8K + miles aboard over the past 5 years :( The good news is that we are moving up and in process purchasing a 1986 39 DC! :D One of several reasons we are moving to a larger boat is for the increased fuel tank capacity and hopefully a longer ...

Re: How many $$ to have marine generator inatalled

I did get some feedback/estimated costs from my post on the Marinette FB page. Obviously, those costs can vary depending on the type of unit etc. However, I’m gathering it would likely be at least 10-12k for a reliable unit. For now it has become a mute point for us....the 37 aft we had some interes...

How many $$ to have marine generator inatalled

I am interested in a 37 Aft that has everything I want and is in good condition, but, it does not have a generator.
Does anyone have a solid ball park estimate for what it would cost to have a new or reliable used generator fully installed? Thanks for your input.
