View attachment 63215 View attachment 63216 I don’t think the 400 head and the 460 are the same actually. If it were me I would template it even if he did have a pattern because all boats are slightly different.
I used teak and holly on the steps. Attached is a pic
Looks good. Where are you mounting the battery and charger?
Hey Wolf, this is what I started with, then what it looked like while doing demo. I found that the risers can be punched out pretty easily with a hammer and then you can pry the steps up with a crowbar. I used them as a template to cut out new plywood and then glued the teak and holly plywood to the base. I reused the curved pieces to nail the risers onto. Risers were 3/8" plywood with teak facing. (Sorry about the sideways pix)Looks great! What kind of wood did you use on the risers? Is that a tongue & groove product? I am guessing it is something with some flex to it to round out the curves.
Do you have any pics of the demolition portion. You can message me with that if you like.
Thanks
Bill
Wolf - Are you still happy with the cockpit AC the you installed? After having used it for a while, anything that you would do differently? I've still got all your instructions and am thinking that might be my next big project...
Well I can't let The Wolf get all the "Winter" Credit. We've been busy in Texas too!
So Far, we painted the engines, rebuilt the turbos, replaced all hoses, powercoated the aftercoolers, elbows, and piping. Also replaced wire loom and zipties. Just generally freshened everything up. Still have raw water hoses and Exhause painting as well, but I got side tracked installing a new Furuno Autopilot!
I still have the Genset to do as well as paint the turbos with Ceremic high heat paint and replace the fuel coolers which I also had powercoated.
For reference I used Rust-Oleum Canvas White paint with some Majic hardener added. I handpainted everthing after wire brushing and treating with Ospho.
There are 6 engine room lights which are Lumitec Ibiza and there is such thing as "wire loom tape" which is absolutely amazing and available on Amazon.
The after bilge under the Genset is painted with Interlux Bilge Kote Gray and I plan to expand this once I finish he other detail work back there.
Lastly, I have a local friend who made the decals on the engines so they all look nice and new as well for a final touch.
I posted this in the Cummins forum too but I figure it’s relevant here!
If you see anything out of the ordinary feel free to let me know.

I did that, but I kept my good pump and just replaced the bad pump with a higher gpm pump. It works well however I notice that it is a little noisier.New project query...
Has anyone replaced their two 3.5 gpm pump water system into a single 5.3 gpm water system? If so, any issues you've discovered or challenges that arose during the installation/removal?
I have all the parts ready to order for the pipe fittings, just want to make sure I am not overlooking any issues like wire size or amperage draw on the larger pump.
TIA
