Post Thru hull transducer leak


So there are a couple of old thru hull transducers in my bilge that look like they are from the Stone Age. Neither functions at this point and I have already replaced the old electronics. I noticed on the weekend that one of them has a small weeping leak. They both appear to be threaded into a sleeve that’s epoxied into the hull. I was able to hand tighten the leaking one a half turn but it didn’t completely stop the leak. What ‘a my best course of action here? Boat will be pulled in a month or ...

Post Onan generator field breaker replacement


Hey everyone. My circa 2002 Onan generator (10KW Model MDKWB) has a bad field breaker. Unfortunately there are no real identifying specs on the breaker itself other than the manufacturer, Airpax, and a bunch of patent numbers. (See pics attached)



I did find a part number in the parts manual: 320-1769. Unfortunately trying to search that hasn't yielded much either.



If I could get the specs/ratings I can get a like-for-like part, which is probably my best hope. I'm just not sure what ratings to ...

I disconnected the main harness for the e ...

Post Voyager 53 bow thruster


Hello all, I have a problem with my voyager 53 bow thruster. It works when pushing to port but does not to starboard. I sent down a diver to check if the shear pin on any of the props has broke but they are both good. He said that while one prop ishaft s engaged the other is turning freely so probably a broken gear inside the leg. And here is the problem, my thruster is a QL SP 800 24volt and apparently discontinued. I would like to buy the lower leg of the unit but cannot find one or failing th ...

Post Engine maintenance


Hi everyone,

I think that I’m fairly knowledgeable about gas engines, at least I thought that I was until recently. One of my Volvo Penta 740b engines started missing on our latest trip, and I was shocked to find that both distributors had rusted so badly that the advance weights were frozen and the springs were actually missing.

I had changed the spark plugs last year and the engines seemed to be running fine, I thought, so I never even thought about a problem with the distributors.

Never take for ...

I am working on a 65' Marquis Davit lift that needs the hydraulic unit replaced. Does anyone have any information on the Model or Manufacturer of the unit? It is 24vdc powered. It was underwater so most of the unit is rusty and corroded.
