Cleaning out the boat parts section of my shop. Have a set of used but in great shape 7-1/2" Diam x 8" tall Airsep filters that are meant for a 3116. They will need to be cleaned and oiled. Make offer

Double post, but thought this a better forum to get some options/fixes. Below is a picture of the mounting bolt for the coolant pump idler pulley on a CAT 3126. Bolt is directly into the block, and in a pretty tight location. Maybe 1/2 a thread above the surrounding metal. What’s the best...

I need to replace a Rule 2000 GPH bilge pump. I figured there would only be one option. Wrong!! There is a standard, UL listed and a Gold Series. Any reason to choose one over the other? I'm thinking I don't need UL listed...I think only required for commercial vessels. That leaves the...

Noticed RM released LH 4.6.74. Notable upgrades… EGT display! Finally after how many years? YouTube and YouTube TV App. All seems to be working as intended.

I've been seeing small refillable scuba tanks on various sites. Typically .5l-1l and good for about 5-10 minutes. I was thinking of adding one for allowing inspection under the boat, and unwrapping lines around the shaft. Free diving about wore my ass out the last time I had to cut a wrapped...

Considering updating/upgrading my VHF to something with NEMA2000 data and/or AIS capabilities. Prefer to stay with the black box options due to dash space limits. But if a better option exists, I might rearrange and make space. I have an Icom 400BB black box style VHF. VHF portion works...

I had researched this and suspected this to be true, and finally found this marked on the engine block casting. Hard to read (and see!), but is L3E 0952*(l). Very useful for crossing parts as Westerbekes tend to be very pricy!

My port engine is noticeably louder and has a harsher sound to it than my starboard. I think Ryan @Strecker25 may have had a similar post a year or two ago. The starboard purrs, no harshness. Port idles differently as well. When cold, Port idles much lower than starboard. Port starts at...

Completed an oil change this afternoon and as I’m finishing up, I noticed that the mfg date on the bottom of the containers is mostly from 2017, with one as old as 2016. Oil is Shell Rotella T1 strait weight 40. Should be pretty common oil. Kinda pissed, stuff isn’t cheap and I expected NAPA...

Changing oil today, got everything ready to go, flipped the switch and it worked for about 3 seconds. There is a dedicated breaker on the MDP, it’s not tripped. Is there a fuse in this system? Schematic doesn’t show one… Stumped and shut down for what should have been a pretty easy job. Got...

My lounge pad vynil is in pretty good shape physically but is heavily mildew stained. Is there anything that will bring it back or should I just have it recovered? I've tried a couple different products from WM, but nothing's getting at this stain. This is not on the surface but pretty "deep...

I was looking for a better way to mount flags to my antennas. I had been using the TaylorMade little plastic ratchet style and they never worked all that well. They kept coming loose/sliding down the tapered antenna. I came across a company called LOCC Marine Products that made a rotating...

Looking to add EZ-Oil valves to the coolant J-Pipe on the 3126's to make the draining process easier, and more importantly, less messy. Since I'm planning to drain, clean and refill, I'll have to drain several times for each engine. Hoping this makes it easier/cleaner. Added similar valves to...

Main bathroom door (gets a lot if use!) stopped working properly. Normally the latch would return to the 90* position and the catch would be extended. Yesterday, it seems a spring inside broke, as the lever will droop and the catch remains in the mechanism. I don’t see any screws/mounting...

I have an Icom 400BB VHF that gets position data from my Raymarine system. Specifically I have a SeaTalkNG to NEMA0183 converter wired to the VHF. Most of the time, It works great. However, If I start the engines (probably have a low voltage in the system somewhere), the VHF will partially...

Noticed last year the Beam vacuum would occasionally/randomly start/stop almost instantaneously, for about 1/2 a second. Annoying as hell. I don’t think it’s the contact switch at the hose inlet. Any ideas before I dig into it. Cant unplug it with out removing it, plug is buried behind it.
