Im trying to figure out how to remove my sliding door to put some new shoes on her so she slides like a moon walk.
Before I do something “remove” the wrong parts.
Im hoping someone has experienced
The removal process...??
89 345 Sedan Bridge
Thanks in advance!
hello help! ;)
So my bottom was getting its monthly cleaning and the diver either grabbed the prop or the shaft and wiggled it back and forth. I could feel the thud, thud, thud.
He said my “bearing” was shot only on the starboard side. Im believing I should just change them both.
I just...
hi everyone, does anyone have a diagram of all parts included from prop thru hull to the packing box.
I was having my bottom looked at by a diver and he said my zinc is way up on the shaft and then he told me to listen as he grabbed ghe prop I think and wiggles up and down. I could hear thump...
so some of you may remember I posted about my westerbeke shutting down after 10 minutes or so and water flow with steam etc.
Well, top of the motors oil and cap where milky too. But not the oil in the pan.
I have a marine machanic friend that says he will help me (click and point)
To rebuild...
I picked up this digital 3000 watt inverter.
Wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions about how I should use this vs using my generator. With wiring and batteries etc. I only go out and stay on the hook for three days max other then that im on shore power. Im looking into solar panels as...
last night as I was pulling into port all of my lights started slowly getting dimmer and dimmer and then off completely.
Does that mean my alernator is shot?
I have twin 454’s and the starboard motor’s volt guage I noticed was reading less then 12 vs port engine 13/14
So im hoping all this means...
I am curious if anyone has the measurements, patterns or blueprints for the bridge and cockpit enclosure. I am going to attack this project myself and just wondering if anyone has such a treasure that would probably save me some newbie frustrations of figuring it out myself lol
Thanks!
ok so I have Im guessing an 88 6.5 westerbeke. She would start throwing white smoke ( im thinking steam) and then shut down after about 20 minutes. The previous owner put in a new impellor soo... I noticed my exhaust hose and two others where leaking water. So I replaced them all. Started her up...
Finally got her ghost letters off after hours of wet sanding. Got her name on and decided to get a smaller version made for the tender. Im adding “LiL” to it though. LiL Miss Wet Ever.
Im looking for some opinions on the color for her new name.
Shes got a 6” grey stripe completely around the seem (I guess you call it) where the top of the boat meets the hull. The rest of her is white. But, her fenders and dock lines are blue.
Should I stick with the colors in the picture or...
ok so I am wanting to continue making her as custom as possible to continue adding some pizazz to the face lift of my 30 year old hottie. Oh how I love her so!!!
Anyway, laying in my state room of my 88 345 Sedan Bridge, there are two inset shelves that run the length of my bed on both sides of...
All I can say is that sinking is not an option.
Some of you might think I’m crazy or just a guy doing what he has to do to get by.
Ive always been known to fix things on the fly with limited recources. This one takes the cake. So as some of you know I just picked up this 88 345 Sedan Bridge...
So I picked her up about a month ago.
A 1988 345 Sedan Bridge.
After an 85 mile trip to her new home in Daytona Beach, Im finally going through all of the corners of the boat.
I was in shock! The previous owner literally has every piece of literature, every reciept, for every part included when...
Ok so She has a new bowl with a new marcerator pump. Its the electric Sani Flush I think. No pumping involved. Anyway, I went to my Marina’ pump out “Daytona Marina and Boat Works” awesome place. So the pump at the dock continues to pump to the point where the timer went out. I then went and...

Me again! :)
I have twin 454's with port engine is brand new with less than 50hrs. Starb engine 600hrs.
So hopefully nothing major with power for awhile. But I know there is always something.
What would you captains suggest I bring and store on her for emergency situations?
Belts, fuel filter...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
I am looking for any information that can help me out with my search.
It seems that the live aboard lifestyle has changed dramatically over the years from what I am learning. It seems locations and welcoming marinas are dwindling.
Does anyone have any pointers...
I am going to be purchasing a custom canvas enclosures for my 345. I was wandering if anyone had any suggestions or tips on anything I should ask for per special request.
