Another couple of thoughts... remove the rubber boot at the exhaust elbow and see if it is plugged. When mine failed, I immediately assumed it was the heat exchanger....bought one, installed it, tightened up the boots real good and started the genset. The rubber boots started blowing up like a ballo...

Hi Chet,

I had a similar problem. The issue turned out to be a plugged exhaust elbow. It pressurized the heat exchanger and the rubber boots that seal it. Sea water then flowed into the the water tank and it pushed all the coolant out the overflow and replaced it with seawater.

I used 5200 with success.

You missed us by a week. We just bought a new motorhome and our powercat is on the market...

TK III (hull # 108) came with the water inlet installed. I have never used it because I was concerned that I could fill the boat with water if any connection failed. This has happened to friends of mine.

TK III... hull # 108 ... will be on the market in November. It has the 110 engines.

When I had my 36, it was normal to charge batteries about every day and a half.

Thanks for all the hard work. It is appreciated.

When we had our 36, we would use a single point tie hammock. Tied it off to the spinnaker halyard and the furled jib. really nice.

Thanks John,

Great work.

When we replaced the compressor, we added a schrader valve so I can reduce or add refridgerant as needed. What a ride this has been.....

I have found that centering the rudders will solve the stiffness at speed.

My Nova Kool Fridge is acting up and looking to see if anyone else has had this problem. When installed in the wall, it freezes ice well but the fridge is at 45-50 degrees. When pulled out of the wall, it freezes ice well and the fridge is a 34 degrees. I have done the following: ….Replaced the refr...

Hey John,
I know of two stainless jobs that the boatyard here did that turned out well.....
Looking forward to seeing you and Diane for New Years.
