PDQ OWNERS FORUM

I use a reverso pump. A 1/2 in hose will fit exactly over the dipstick tube. That eliminates the small messy hose down the dipstick tube. Mack Boring said that the dipstick tube was designed for this.

Thanks Roger and John...... wish I had brought this subject up before launch,,,,,

See you in the Bahamas... Leaving tomorrow morning...finally got all the stuff onboard except Susan, Harley and Mr. Alice.

Just had a problem with exnaust leaking into the starboard cabin... actually at a high level. Found out that two of the three bolts holding the exhaust elbow and the spacer to the turbo were broken. This was the same engine that had a broken elbow and sprayed a lot of seawater in that area. If you h...

I know this has been discussed before, but my searching did not find the threads... I was discussing the port engine running 10 degrees hotter with my mechanic and he asked which way my scoops were facing and I said aft. He said that he has never seen a powerboat that uses 2 engines have them facing...

I just replaced my house batteries with Trojan T-105's at a price of $126 each for four from Batteries Plus. The new T-105 batteries have a single cover that fits in the 3 holes instead of the individual screw out fill caps. I had to bend the crossover cables a bit to make enough height to be able t...

You are welcome Gary..

Also, look on PDQ36.com where I posted the schematics for the door and how to stop leaks.

Hi Ross, I think yours is the same as mine. It is mounted vertically, head down in the galley bilge with the AC pump. I have seen one boat where they glassed in a board on the bottom of this compartment and mounted the pump horizontally. Let us know how your new pump works.. I am on my second Shurflo.

Hi Chet,
Mack Boring has an office in Wilmington, NC They are official distributors for Yanmar.... It will be expensive.

Glad to see you are headed south. We were worried about you and Irene.

Hi Mary,
Try looking up Oceanair shades. I know they can fit hatches but don't know about the front windows.

Susan and I faired well in the storm. The eye passed about 40 mi east of us. We had storm winds from 4 am till 8 pm Water surge of about 9 ft... which put about 10 inches in my bottom floor. TK III was on the hard down near Oriental and had no damage. We just got power last night.... a honda 2000 is...

These supports are used when you transit with the mast down. They support the mast at the bow and the stern on the port side. They are just wooden supports that attach to the hand rails.

You are correct. The access is behind the insert in the sink where the toilet paper is located. The sink drain is a straight run from the sink to the thru hull with a bend just before the fitting. I would try either a small snake or just a water hose to try and blow it out first. Whatever you have i...

I have 60 ft of chain and use it all every time I anchor. The rolling hitch in the first 5-10 ft if line works fine for me. I do the anchoring while my wife drives the boat. The rolling hitch is really a simple knot but I have to re-educate myself each year on the way to the Bahamas. If you have all...
