Looking to replace my temp and oil pressure gauges. They are getting finicky, as to tape them and they move the needle. I have cleaned terminals already. I saw a direct replacement for the oil, but all the terms auger are different looking. Will I need new sender units with these?Original shown, then the replacements I saw. Temps are different.

Oil Pressure gauge I found. Seems like same as I have. ...

Does anyone know the best way to access impellor on port engine (cummins 450 diamond series). (456 motor yacht). Starboard is easy and very accessible but port is away from walkway between engines. Thinking of removing cover off belt and accessing from front of engine.
Thanks

Pretty as it gets.

I’m looking for any input for replacement engine contols . We currently have twin disc electronic contols on our 530 and 3 times now they stuck and totally lost control of starboard engine , had to go into engine room and smack actuator box and starts working again. I’m looking at ZF mathers ? Glennding ? Sea star ? Everything is discontinued and no parts available for twin disc . Any advise or recommendation would be great .

Well, my two sons will be off to college next year (and I thought boating was expensive ...yikes!) and we won't have any time at all to use the boat next season and possibly it won't be back in the water until 2024 or 2025.



So, I'd like to know if some of you had actually have left your boats  on dry storage for one season or more. What precautions for the inboards and the outdrives, the cabin, cables, electronics, etc. should I take? Maybe I'm overthinking it and just the typical haul and w ...

We are preparing for a boating trip on our 1983 Riviera 2807 this coming week. Single screw 454 Crusader.



Due to the issues weve had with the boat in the past, i havnt had much time to play around with speeds too much to figure out what is most efficient. This past weekend we cruised at about 8 knots at 2000 rpm.

I also cruised a bit at 2300 rpms- about 10 knots.



Can anyone offer any experience or knowledge with this? We are cruising from the boston area down to cape cod and will probably cover a ...

Got an issue and it seems like Volvo diesel techs are impossible to find.



I think I self inflicted this however it may very well be something else going on. I explained my problem to a Volvo tech and he said my turbo is probably sooted up so just go out there and floor it for at least 10 minutes which I did and sadly it changed nothing. Apparently running low rpm for extended times on Volvo diesels, causes the turbo to get full of soot and the turbo does not spin freely.



Have not put her on step t ...

Now this looks like it will be a riot on the water however 2024 is still a ways off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4x-v8k8VQg

I have a 1991 Carver 3608 Aft Cabin and am upgrading both upper helm and lower helm VHF radios. I am working on a government form to submit in order to register for the MMSI number. One question on the form is "maximum number of persons on board?". Can anyone tell me where I can find this information for my model of boat? I have searched everywhere. Thank you.

I've been on here the last few weeks asking questions and chiming in if I thought I had something to add - and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has replied to my questions and pointed me in the right direction! What a great forum and I really appreciate the active involvement from so many owners!



Anyway - my wife and I finally OFFICIALLY closed on our boat today. She's a 2002 396 with twin Cummins 6BTA's and we couldn't be more excited! I'm sure we'll have lots of questions going forw ...
