Hi all,

I have a Bowmar hatch from 1990. One of the hinge pins is partway out. I'm not sure how it got that way. No info from prior owner. The pin is frozen; I can't push it in, rotate it, or pull it out. I tried removing some screws but could not free up the hinge to remove it to take home to a work bench. Maybe everything is bonded to the deck? Any ideas? The pin is a white plastic or teflon material I think.

I tried contacting Bowmar but could not get to a technical person yet.

Thanks,
Barry

Does anyone have insight into what must be removed to transport a Carver 366 over land?

I assume the arch and hard top at a minimum... Hoping someone here has experience that can be shared.


Thanks!

when summerizing vessel tech found oil in the cooling reservoir.

I've been wicking out the oil with bilge pads rolled up stuck into the reservoir.

Just wondering if this is possible that the cooling reservoir would have oil in it and how.

Or is it likely that the previous owner mistakenly put engine oil into the wrong location as the openings are close to each other.

Visibly the oil is not dirty "but" I had the oil changed recently as well.

This issue has ...

I have a 88’ 3807. For lack of a better term, there seems to be an exhaust vault glassed into each side of the boat. There are holes on each side that divert each engines exhaust under water. There is also a large stainless square tip on each side of the boat that exhausts water from engines, AC water pump and generator exhaust. On the starboard side I noticed water coming out of the tip like it was supposed to AND water coming out the bottom, between the boat and tip. Maybe it does that on both ...

Hello all,
I have a 2001 350 Mag Mpi that has a bad oil pressure sensor switch. This is the switch that causes the audio alarm. Oil pressure is just fine.
I have looked everywhere and cant find a part number for it. There are like a thousand items that come up in a search even under the mercruiser name.
Any one have a part number or suggestion for the replacement?

I just returned back to my boat and discovered rather quickly that my pilot house was extra warm only to find out that my cruise air unit is blowing just fine but it’s not cold air. To me it doesn’t sound like the compressor is kicking on but I would love some advice on where to start troubleshooting the unit before I just call an AC guy. Btw the unit is only 3 yrs old.

Appreciate any help or pointers that anyone they have!

Looks like this is going to last a good part if not all summer. https://globalnews.ca/news/7046333/cana ... -extended/

Looks like a good one, mine does not cool much, 12K in back room is great though. Also main cabin 16K is so noisy, much vibration, it is hard to stand for it. Anyway finally I decide to replace it. Ideally I could get same module, but may be sa ...

Hi all. Last week I noticed moisture in the lens of my search light (I mean few ounces of water) actually. Opened up the lens and emptied, when I try to dry inside with paper towel, mirror coating came off. Light works, not very bright to begin with. Motor works in turning in any direction. I hate to throw that away, also getting new one would mean getting wiring through tight spaces, etc. So I been looking for 2 things, 1) just replacing the mirror coated piece around the bulb or 2) led ...

Never seen this low a price. At Walmart in Quebec, not sure if this is country wide though.
