My 1983 10 meter Crusader powered 454's had 13,280 hours when I re powered it .. They were still running fine just getting tired..It's all about how it was ran when not trolling and preventative maintenance. Holy crap. I've never seen that many hours on a Gasser. That would be good for a diesel. Wh...

Larson's has the duckbill valves in stock normally. Use rector seal #5 pipe dope on all the hose fittings were you have a clamp it really helps.

Just for future reference a place called DC Grove in Fox Lake is spot on when it comes to marine alternators stuff. They normally turn stuff around same day as well.

When I re powered my 10 meter the raw water cooled 454's had 13,200 hours and the heads had never even been taken off. They were starting to leak oil and compression was getting low so it was time..

A popular leaking item on these transmission is the shift shaft seal. It is a o-ring on the shift shaft just inside the shift linkage. It will run down the side of the transmission and a small leak will look like a lot. The way to check this is to wade up a piece of paper towel and stuff it in that ...

I chased the same issue you described for a couple weeks years back. Always when it gets hot or warmer out. Every time as soon as I put some bleach or sanitize in the tank, it goes away almost instantly.

I get that in mine as well. I put a cup or so of bleach in the freshwater tank and top it off and it goes away every time.

I have been looking at the same boat..Thinking about selling my 10 meter, but kinda on the fence on it.

I keep mine at North Point as well

It's blue glass platform with the brackets.

No removed it years ago, but did notice a guy near me replied to your post that he has one.

Anyone have interest for a 10 meter swim platform removed from my boat?

Not to high jack the thread, but I have a pair of Paragon's that were rebuilt years back and never installed and looking to get rid of them. Located in the Chicago area captshawn@comcast.net
