Re: Looking for an aft cover/Bimini?
You should be able to "dry fit" the frame to the cockpit area to determine what the correct fitment should be. (Totally recommended!) You can go to Sailrite's website where they list the necessary materials for attachment of the Bimini to the boat chassis. There are at least 2 ways: - sewi...

Re: 454 Crusader - milky oil
Rodney, Yes, we did. While last year's winter wasn't extremely cold for the area, there were a couple of days when the temps dipped down into the 20's overnight. Seems to me this didn't occur until January. And, while our boat's, having a ton of glass windows, will warm up reasonably fast in sunligh...

454 Crusader - milky oil
Folks (especially gear heads...) I've run into what could turn out to be a very ugly situation involving the marina where we put Sunset Seeker Too (SS2) on the hard last fall. First, some background... SS2 Apecs: * 41' 1988 Marquis with hardtop * 454 Crusaders, raw water cooling - bought the boat fr...

Re: Fuel filler hose removal
Bill, Maybe it's me (overly cautious) but I'd shy away from applying any heat source on or near the hose... Alternatively, you could try running a utility knife a few inches down the length of the hose,starting as close to the fill fitting as possible. Start with moderate pressure on the blade (be s...

Re: Electric feed to 41' boat - major issue
Karl, To your questions: There are separate 30a breakers for the 2 shore power feeds going to the boat: -> 2 each on the utility pole where the electric meter is located -> 2 each on the dock's power distribution mount (ie - the electric feeds run from the utility (meter) pole underground a short di...

Electric feed to 41' boat - major issue
Does anyone have a schematic for an '88 Marquis? Have run into issue of supposedly having the standard 2 input 30A circuits (with separate feeds from Shore Power 30A feeds). However, in checking, there's only 1 feed in use - disconnected each feed SP cable as it plugs into boat: Feed 1 - ALL AC appl...
