Can any tell me difference between 8.1 Gil-E and 8.1 Gi-E Are there any electrical difference?

Can anyone explain the purpose of the large plastic screw on top of my fuel filter/water separator? This is connected to my diesel geny and the screw started leaking when the tanks were filled with diesel. The boat is also sloped forward on dry dock for removal of the shafts. The screw is connected to a brass rod that goes into the filter housing. Last night I opened the screw a few turns and it stopped the leaking, no sign of any seepage when I returned this morning. I have changed the filter a ...

Has anyone found a suitable replacement weather strip for the stationary windows? I have a 97 405 aft cabin and the outside weather strips have shrunk over the years and I cant find anything that will fit. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tim

Hello crew. Recently I noticed that my Maxwell windless was neither dropping or lifting the anchor. No response from the control. So I was thinking that it might be a bad connection and I sprayed an electronic corrosion product into the switch and it started to work....or so I thought.

Yesterday as I was dropping the anchor (my 2005 Mariner has 150 ft of chain), it quit working. I flicked the switch on/off thinking it was the connection but then realized that it was getting power because I he ...

I got one of the Walker Bay type West Marine poly dinghy’s. So far so good. HOWEVER, I went to apply the registration numbers to the side and nothing sticks to it! YEP, I sanded it too. Any suggestions?

what is difference between 8.1 Gil- E and 8.1 GiL - D

Volvo website does not have a replacement for 3863229 according to website. But how far off can 3862623 be? I have no choice. Other one burned in a fire.

Any suggestions would really help.

I sold my Carver and have a trawler now, but thought I would lean on this community’s experts since I received so much great advice from folks her over the years.

I have a Seastar hydraulic steering system. I recently had a yard install an Auto Pilot. The tech had a lot of problems stopping leaks at the fittings. I checked today, and there is still two small leaks at the fittings in the lazarette.

The setup is this. I have 3/8” hydraulic lines coming from the helm. Two of them each attach to a 3 ...

I have a 1976 mariner with a Ford 351 Windsor. After idling or running in gear for about 15 minutes it will cut off. Engine doesn't show that it's overheating and battery indicator shows it has power so I'm not sure what's going on I'm able to start it back up as long as I have juice in the battery Change the coil, thinking that was the problem but didn't resolve it. Coil has an internal ballast resistor as recommended prior to the ones I installed, it did not have a resistor. Could use some adv ...

I recently purchased a 1996 500 CPMY that has two main tanks near the 6CTA engines and two auxiliary tanks near the transom. I know that the total capacity is 680 gallons but I have been unable to figure out how much fuel the individual tanks hold. Anyone have an idea or can point me in the right direction?
