Hi Guys, even though I don’t own a Morgan anymore I found this interesting. I was working on my boat today and beside me is a 384. I have looked at it many times, it has some interesting work on it, Its wrapped up for the winter and I don’t know why I didnt see it before but it has a roller...

Hi guys, down in Grenada working hard to get the boat in the water. Lots of things to do and chase out to understand, slow going down here, hot and I have never drank some much water. The one thing I miss is all my tools and stuff. I brought what I could, weight limits. TSA confiscated a couple...

Hi Guys, thanks for the compliments,BJ I have a lot of pictures I can share! Mark, I Had the boat listed on Sailboatlistings.com, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. We got the most response from Marketplace but pulled in quite a few from sailboat listings. I had one person drive all the way...

Over the past couple of years Mary and I have been looking for a different boat. The Morgan is a great boat but didn’t have the layout we wanted. With covid the market was difficult, we lost several chances on buying not one but two Bristol 45’s than a Little Harbor44 was past up because we...

Hi Terry, I repaired that system 4 years ago on my boat. I was able to find a exact replacement float on Amazon. The wires from the switch are very fragile to have in the bilge. I went to the hardware store and picked up a 1 1/4 threaded to 1 1/2 pvc male adapter and about 1 foot of 1 1/2 pvc...

Hi guys, I was just on his website “marinehowto” and/or Compass Marine Services, same company. Rod has in-depth article s on many subjects for the marine industry and I went to buy something at his store and there was a notice that the store was closed because he had a stroke back in September...

Morning Marc, I have seen a similar unit on another boat and it has a wire from it to the engine which puts it a the same potential as the engine. It intrigued me enough at the time to search for more info on the effectiveness of it but I came up with little information. The black wire that I...

Hi Dave and Petra, and welcome to the best forum on the internet. When I rebuilt my Perkins I installed two valves where the lines attached going to the water heater. I have not reinstalled the heater but installed a on demand gas heater that I hang on the aft railing with quick disconnects into...

I am off the subject matter, I cruise around and use different sites and this is by far the best and easist site I have seen. I wish I had the technical ability to improve the other sites. Thanks for what you do Mark!

Morning Mark, somewhere I have stashed a simple diagram for a tank level indicator but is similar to the snapshot. Some you can make with just resistors, this one is with transistors. The probes of various lengths can be mounted in a removable 1 1/4'' plug. Stainless or copper Nickel welding...

Great news Travis, glad it worked out!

Could Not figure out how to attach everything from an old post but looks like it was built in April.

Travis, If hazing on the globe is the issue try a headlight hazing repair kit. I used one on mine and it worked like a charm. I had other issues with the compass the base had cracked but other than that the headlight restoration kit worked fine.

I have a Aquameter compass and had it repaired by Vikingcompass. Looks like new and points north.

Hi Paul, I did a complete rebuild on my engine. Did I need to, after the fact no. My friends said it was easy which it was but the engine was hard starting and I figured a rebuild was in order. It turn out the fuel injector pump needed to be rebuilt the company that did it said it was scored...

Morning everyone, thanks for the email Mark. I did shoot him a email but have not heard back. Dave, not ready for a trawler. When that time comes it will be a land yacht. Jim, I have heard the boats tend to be a little slow given the weight. We wanted a swing keel to explore the canal systems...

I am looking at purchasing a Bristol sailboat. Retirement is coming soon and we want to sail more but getting in and out of the vee birth and making the bed takes a toll. We want one with a little more room , queen center berth and center cockpit. Looking for recommendations of a good surveyor...

Morning Scupper, I too had issues with my stbd tank leaking. I removed it watched some videos and bought a plastic welder from Harbor Freight. With addition of a welding foot that made it easier I was able to repair the tank. I did call the company Kracor and verified what type of plastic it was...

Hi Cardo, I think my engine design is like yours with the coolant holding tank athwart. If it is the same the sensor you need to remove is slightly under the tank making it difficult to get a wrench or socket on. After thinking for a while and needing to burp the engine I took a socket and with...
