I found that I need to add some bottom paint to my 32 this afternoon. When talking to the marina owner he informed me the 32 that has been in the water for 30 years had a bare aluminum bottom. He said the guy had it stripped thinking the electrolysis spots are due to pin hole openings in the paint a...

I did. Not sure if I am using the right terminology but it thinks its called the keyway. The piece that the linkage connects to that slides down on the square shaft that connects to the rudders. There is a cotter pin under the keyway that sheered off and allowed the key to drop a couple inches. Just...

When I turn all the way starboard it is a very slight angle. Generally I put the wheel in the middle then pull and turn ...

I went with these 160 degree fail safes after loosing an engine due to a thermostat failing closed. I can watch the temp go from 160 to 180 then back down to 160.

Apparently i didn't get all the water out of on of my manifolds when pulling the engine out for rebuild over winter. Nothing like adding insult to injury. Anyone know where to get a used or reasonably priced exhaust manifold for a 1987 318?

I've used hydrogen peroxide for mold cleanup in residential cleaning. Not sure how the works on Teak. Has anyone tried using peroxide? On drywall it disintegrates the mold.

Thank you EWRice for the confirmation and piece of mind! This is my second go at replacing the motor I was hoping this wasn't something I over looked on the previous motor that broke a valve that destroyed the piston in cylinder 1. Is it safe to assume that other oil passage plugs that come installe...

Should this plug be removed before installing the oil filter adapter? See attachment
