Re: Installing Diesel Heater

That's my understanding. The only reason for the exhaust to be in the aft section is to prevent fumes from drifting into the cabin. You're right, it wouldn't really matter while you are tied up or at anchor. The location I'm looking at is just forward of mid-ship. The only aft location would be in t...

Installing Diesel Heater

I have a 1981 37DC. I'm trying to decide where to install a diesel heater. I have twin Volvos so two diesel tanks in the aft cabin on the starboard side. The simple place to install a heater would be where the old air conditioning unit was placed. It's between the down galley and the solon (behind t...

Grill mount

I have a nice round Magma grill but I need a way to mount it. My '81 37" has 2 1/4 inch handrails. The largest rail clamps I can find are for 1 1/4" rails. I'll make my own from aluminum if I have to. Does anyone know of a rail clamp that would fit this Marinette?

Re: Connected Fuel Tanks?

This all makes sense. Thanks so much for the input. I'm in Alaska right now but headed to the boat in January, (in Washington State). Can't wait to resolve this and you're right, it does look pretty simple. I'll check out the wiring to the fuel gauges, sending units and locate the tank valves. I jus...

Re: Connected Fuel Tanks?

Thanks for that. That sounds like good advice! I'll check the ground and wiring at both ends. I thought a crossover was used on most boats of this size. The problem is, the tanks are right next to each other with about an inch between them. There are no valves that I can see. I assume they would be ...

Connected Fuel Tanks?

I have two 120 gal diesel tanks under the aft cabin bunk. It's on a 1981 duel cabin 37. I'm having fuel gauge issues. They both show full appropriately but then they both suddenly drop to around a quarter or 3/8 full when they should be at 3/4 or higher. I have two questions: Wondering if these tank...
