I have some cracking and bubbling of the coating on top of my radar arch. Has anyone else encountered this? Would this necessitate refinishing the entire arch or could the affected area be refinished and feathered in?

Does anyone know of a qualified PropSpeed or PropGlide applicator in the mid to northern Chesapeake Bay area ideally Baltimore/Annapolis area?

Winterized the boat today. Port engine sucked down antifreeze as fast as I could pour it in the strainer. Starboard engine would not suck down the antifreeze. I put the strainer basket back in the housing. Buttoned up the strainer, opened the seacock and cranked her up. No problem sucking up the...

👍🏻👍🏻 Enjoy! It?s a great boat.

Anyone with the Cummins 6CTA 8.3. 450 Diamond Series change the serpentine belts? If so, any tips on getting to the starboard engine belt? Looks like I may be able to get to the port side engine belt through an access hatch in the rear berth.

First time winterizing. Boat in the water - covered slip. Tired of paying $1500 for someone else to do it. 41PC, Cummins diesels. I have completed the head/galley/cockpit sink/transom shower. Hot water heater not accessible to bypass/drain so I ran antifreeze through through the hot water side...

Does anyone know a competent and honest technician/mechanic in the Baltimore-Annapolis-Kent Island area? I?ve had two techs down to my 41 PC to change out the impeller on the port side Cummins diesel. They said it?s to difficult to get to and would not do the job. I would love to do it myself...

Hi Mark, I bought my 1999 41PC last summer. I love the boat! The droopy headliners are somewhat of a common problem with these boats. Mine were replaced before I bought the boat. It?s a very involved job to replace those headliners. The biggest maintenance problem I?ve encountered is getting to...

Last summer I bought a 41 PC which is my first boat. I found a very nice marina, well maintained, and the slip is covered. I love the covered slip, it makes hanging out on the boat very comfortable in the hot summer months when I'm at the marina. I can work on the boat in almost any weather...

For those 41 PC owners who have the Cummins engines do you have any tips/tricks in getting to and removing/replacing the port side oil filter? Last year was my first with my 41 PC and when the engines were winterized an oil change was done. Since this is my first boat and never winterized a boat...

What do you use to clean your bilges? What cleaners, materials, brushes, methods to get to hard to reach spots? Thanks

I want to replace the original Kenwood unit and speakers on my 1999 41 PC. Any ideas on other units which would install fairly easily into the same space where the original Kenwood unit is installed? I don?t want to make any cuts if I don?t have to. I?m partial to Sony but open to other brands...

Can the AIRSEP filters be cleaned or are they one use only then replace? Is it correct that the K&N?s can be cleaned like K&N?s in a car?

Does this platform look like a factory or aftermarket swim platform? Stationary or hydraulic lift?? Not a great pic. Just a screenshot.

I have Racor 1000MA’s. They take Racor 2020 filter elements. These filters come in 2 micron, 10 and 30 micron. Which one is correct for my 1999 41PC with Cummins 6CTA 8.3 450 Diamonds?
