Rube Goldberg dipstick.
We had a lot of crazy notions about how to best do things and what constituted an "improvement" back in the day before microprocessors. Now such a device is quite simply made and installed at the factory using electronics.

Re: F44-Replace Lectra Sans or Install Holding Tank?
If this is not a vacuum type system, then no matter how small the discharge line, you will have standing waste in the line between the toilet and the tank. By it's very nature, once there is no liquid in this type of discharge pump, it has no way to push the waste past itself. Whatever is in the di...

Re: 47' Trojan in MN
That thing has been for sale about 5 years. Its been posted here before at least twice that I can remember.
I think we all concluded its not what it is advertized as.

Re: No spark from coil or points
I love NGK plugs . They make me money . When I pull them out to get a GM engine running right . :wink: I knew you'd like that. ;) I run nothing but NGK's these days. They are pretty much the last man standing as far as quality control in plugs goes these days IMO. I run them in all 4 gas Benz's I o...

Re: Soft starboard deck on a 87 Tricabin need advice
I remember those 28 Carvers. Cool boats from a bygone era. Love that old 44 of yours. I looked around at some 44's before I decided the next boat would be a 13 or 14 meter. Offer 12 for the Tri. Do it in a nice way as to not insult the seller. Something like: "Well, I'd like to make you an offe...

Tri Cabin in Solomons
While looking for a 13 or14 meter today I saw a Tri listed for sale in Solomons. Wondered if belonged to someone here or if someone here knew of the boat. I am not interested in buying it, just was curious if it was a members boat.

Re: USCG Documentation ~ educate me
Sounds like a good reason to move . Funny you should mention it, because its in the cards. Not because of the stupid fee though, just another oppertunity has come along. The biggest issue with relocation is how to move the Trojan. I could pay A LOT of decal fees for what its gonna cost me to move t...

Re: '85 tricabin fresh water tank replacement
Wow! Cool P! Looks awesome. Excellent job. I'm on the fence about a water tank level indicator. Just can't decide if I want one or not. Would be nice to have a gauge in the galley and/or head to know when its time to refill. Its not that big of a deal here if I run it way down because I boat in drin...

Re: No spark from coil or points
I have the same engines as the OP. I ditched the old Mallory points jobbies for new Mallory YLM's. I was having similar issues getting good spark all the time. Lots of stalling at low revs. I couldn't friggin take it anymore so I got online to Summit and JEGS to see who had the best deals on YLM's. ...

Re: USCG Documentation ~ educate me
In NY you have to pay a three year registration to the state even if you are documented, but you don't have to show your numbers. You DO have to show the NYS regristration sticker(s) on both sides of the bow though. Plus, where I am, you have to show a LGPC decal in the current year, and for a 32 fo...

Will MTU Series 60's fit in a 10 meter? The 350hp ones, not the 800hp ones.
