thanks!

with 454 crusader enginges, the starboard side. any suggestions on how to get to it easily?? from the center hatch? or take out the center and slide the hatch over? any thoughts appreciated!

Gents, I have an issue that I can't figure out so I'm trying to see if you guys have any ideas or have come across this before. Application: Twin Crusader 454's, @ 3 hours run time after major work done including rebuilt alternators. Symptom: Some times when running the engines, both voltage gauges...

water in the gas someplace??

thanks guys I will report back yes this is the 6.5 the water pump belt needs replaced and the only way I can get enough adjustment is with both the top water pump and the side circulating pump. The only way to get to the side circulating pump is to take the cover off. it appears they put the genny t...

I dont disagree but whatelse can I do? the genny is behind the engines, and I guess they could hit the mufflers and the trim tab pump.

My goal is to cut it in such a way that I can replace 90% of it.

but when I went through backfire issues it was always water in the fuel. so I would check my water/fuel seperaters. On mine there are 2, a 'big one' that is from the gas tank into the engine, and a 'liitle' one that is in the carbourator. I did change the filters in my big one several times, to real...

I need to change the belt on my genny. I have concluded to do this, I need to take off the schroud. but the schround basically is bulk headed in there. So I think I need to cut it away. It is sheet metal, maybe an 1/8 3/16" thick. I was thinking about using my dremel tool, but I dont know if it...

I had this problem, and ran it back to that carb filter you said you changed. I still think it is a water issue. But I also found that my in line water seperator was broken.(the one between the gas tank and the engine) I thought it was fine, as I replaced the element and all looked good. but what I ...

this job, I am pretty sure those wires go to the holding tank level indicator, mine is in the head. I have removed that hose and unsrewed the plate to get into the tank, no fun there, but it was the only way.

we pumped it out with a hand pump into buckets!! I hope not to have to do that job again.

Me an a buddy are looking for a place to do some diving around southern Ontario, thinking lake Erie or maybe Georgian Bay, we are doing a Kingston run later this year. Anyone dive in these areas? If so any tips or suggestions? Any recomended charters? Are there any divers here that might like to go...

thanks for the imput. you say you have seen this on many onans? what have you seen, the shroud removed or that the pump is hard to change. can I just go ahead and remove the shroud? thanks yep, that's what he meant.....changed mine this yr. The next time I'm install a 12v or a 110v pump for cooling...

Yes, I've used the search and read a bunch of threads but I couldn't find anything exactly like I have. My system is a Mansfield Vacuflush model 806. It's different in what I usually see because it doesn't have a base, it sits in a hole in the fiberglass of the boat. My boat is a 85' Express 10m. S...

the onan mcck was never a DIY set up. ever. this has to be one the most annoying things about this particular generator. having grown up with a kohler in our tri cab, i can see why dad opted out of the onan in favor of our own setup. in short, no. there is no easy way to change the impeller on this...
