Re: Best way to remove carb. on starboard engine

Hi All: Thanks for the advice. I pulled the carb and cleaned it without incident and it was easier than it looks. I still am not getting the wot rpms as the port engine but it looks to be related to linkage to the Morse controls as I can open the throttle on the carb. by hand to get the higher revol...

Best way to remove carb. on starboard engine

Hi all: My starboard engine is sputtering a bit and won't reach max rpm. I had a similar issue on the port side and fixed it with a carb cleaning. It looks like carb removal is more difficult on this side and I wonder if removing the intake manifold is the best practice. Any advice or experience is ...

How much bottom paint for two coats of Trinidad?

Hi All:

My 32 monohull took about 1.5 gallons minimum for two coats of Trinidad. I usually bought two gallons and painted three coats in critical areas.

How much should I buy for the PDQ 32?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: New Owners: Engine management

Thanks, Sandy and all. I will check these things when we deliver the boat and haul out. Right now we are enjoying the trip and the boat and trying to learn all the new systems. We come from a pretty simple monohull and now have radar, AC, refrigeration, propane and solar power. I'm sure that I'll ha...

Re: New Owners: Engine management

The folks at Indiantown marina insisted that we would make it OK but I wasn't 100% sure and watched the finder. The lowest number that we saw was 2.7 feet (below the keel I trust but with so many gators I was not jumping in to calibrate) and we are now tied to the dock at Moore Haven. We dropped to ...

New Owners: Engine management

Hi All: We are new owners of TomKat (PDQ32 classic) and will probably have a lot of questions. Today is our first day. We left Indiantown Florida this morning heading west in the Okeechobee waterway. I probably need to make 6 knots to reach our intended destination at a decent hour. Right now we are...
