Re: Waste tank/s setup question
I suggest you also look into the cost of an ElectroSan toilet setup. No pumping out required, just a small bag of ashes to be dropped in the trash. Jeff Jeff- I really like the ElectroSan system. Unfortunately, it is specified for discharge waterways. Lake Lanier is a non-discharge waterway "i...

Re: Waste tank/s setup question
Very nice Bill. You folks on here documenting in doing these detailed instructions is so very helpful:-). Did you leave the original holding tank in place and just abandon it? What is the original holding tanks location? Thanks again Bill- I have the same question. The previous owners left the mace...

Re: solenoid
I've compared the two versions and couldn't find a difference. I use the automotive version.

Re: 440 oil pump prime
While researching cam replacement for solid tappet 318 / 360 small blocks, I ran across an oil priming requirement for 440s. You need to prime the oil pump using a drill or other motor. Otherwise, the motor will not generate oil pressure. Apparently, it will not self-prime. Since the engine sat for ...

Re: Heads for a 318
From my research, the heads to find are "302" castings from a mid-80's 318. Google W302 318 cylinder heads. The combustion chamber is smaller and heart shaped. Check out the Mopar forums. I use the felpro performance intake gasket. Think the number is 1243. It is 0.060 thick and seals bett...

In case others want to know, the cutlass bearing dimensions are 2" x 5" X 1.25". The Johnson / Duramax bearing name is a "Dotty".

Re: Can't get past 2000rpm
Second Rodney's comments. Start with a timing light and tachometer. See if the distributor is advancing. Should see initial timing of 3-5 degrees BTDC and advance of 24 degrees at 2500 RPM. In my experience, 318s/360s seem to be happier closer to 8 degrees. The Mr. Gasket advance spring set 925B wor...

Re: CAPAC and Hull Potential question
The magnesium anode will corrode faster than the typical aluminum (Sealloy) anodes. You should use the aluminum anodes especially if there is a potential for brackish water. That said, hanging aluminum anodes over the side will help protect the hull. As Dave said, the magnesium anode would corrode f...

Cutlass Bearing Size
Anyone have the cutlass bearing size for a 1989 32' SDFB?
1.25" shaft

Pulling the boat next month for bottom paint. Plan to replace the bearings while it's out of the water.
Thanks!

Re: air conditioner duct hose diameter
Interestingly, the marine standard for conditioned air ducting is the same as residential construction. According to ABYC A-6, the ducts should comply with the UL-181 standard for manufactured ducting. So, you can simply buy the ducts available at Home Depot or Lowe's and install them in your boat a...
