I have a potential buyer for my pre-war 33' cruiser. Any ideas on how to ship to Greece?

Appreciate the welding suggestions!

Posted two photos of one in the boat and the other out. I am in Colorado.

I am having trouble welding small cracks in my water cooled reduction case. Two different welders are stymied as to why it keeps cracking. The last welder used EUTECTIC XYRON-2-24 cast iron welding rod. The reducer is on a 1939 CC M engine. I am told these reducers are very rare. Any suggestions as ...

My 1939 CC cruiser is having drive train problems. At 2000 RPM it stops forward motion and the RPM goes up as if it were slipping. At 1000 RPM it runs well all day long. I have an "M" engine #11822 with a Paragon Reducer model 3XE-90 serial #D2870. The transmission is a Paragon model RDC-2XE serial ...

Greg, Yes there was two counter sunk dishes in the shaft that aligned perfectly with set screws. Thanks again.

I got it. The shaft is back in place and secured. We pushed the shaft back just far enough to remove the collar, cleaned both surfaces, replaced collar and tightened both retaining bolts. Next we pried and gently hammered the collar forward into position and then tightened into place. The cause of t...

My drive shaft on a 1939 crusier has backed out of the transmission flange about a inch. The boat is in the water and only about 4 inches of shaft is accessible to clamp onto. I cannot get the shaft to move forward back into the flange. Does anyone have a suggestion without taking the boat out of th...

What do I need to do to have my original 6 volt horn work on a 12 volt system?
Thanks!

I am preparing to install Irish felt and then canvas to my wood decks on a pre-war 33' cruiser. My questions are: what glue and should I pretreat the canvas with a preservative or just paint the canvas directly with a marine enamel? Which paint would be suggested?

On a 1940 Chris Craft cruiser how is the chrome hand lever at the helm removed from the brass 1" shaft going to the bilge? The bottom of the shaft is splined. Is the top handle splined, set screw or key way? Don't want to damage anything on removal so any help would be appreciated.

I need help finding a source for dash identification plates for a 1939 Chris-Craft cruiser. These are stainless steel and measure 1 1/2" x 1 1/16" with a 3/8" hole to fit around a switch neck. As I need about a dozen of these plates, blank plates would work best as this allows me to customize them. ...

Thanks for the info, Karl. Just what I was looking for. I am going to contact Ballard next week and I think Doug Brown and I are going to tackle this ourselves.
Mike

What type and weight canvas is best used on the decks of a pre-war cruiser? Any input and/or sources would help.
Thanks -
Mike

Who restores or has parts for this 1939 searchlight? It is possibly a K S (Kilborn Sauer) light. I need a crown style gear and mechanism to swivel the light up and down. Also need the lamp retaining ring inside the drum.
Appreciate any help.
Mike

I have attached a photo of a searchlight from the 1939 Chris-Craft accessory catalog. Mine is this exact model except my light is a drum model as opposed to the teardrop shown in the catalog. Also attached are: a photo of my searchlight and the mark that is stamped on the spotlights. Hopefully this ...

This mark is stamped on several of the spotlight parts....the mark very closely resembles the "and" symbol on the number 7 key on the computer keyboard. I have a photo if that would help. Please let me know.

Looking for a source for parts or restoration of searchlights/spotlights on a 1939 cruiser. Appreciate any help you can give me.

I AM LOOKING FOR A PAIR OF AFT FLUSH MOUNT DECK DRAINS LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL 1 7/8" FLANGE. I HAVE ROOM FOR UP TO A 4" FLANGE. AFTER HAVING REBUILT THE REAR TRANSOM AND DECK I THINK A LARGER DRAIN IS WHAT I NEED. ALSO NEED A THRU TRANSOM FITTING FOR BOTH OF THESE DRAINS. I PREFER THE PRE-WAR LOOK...

I am in need of info on how to and what products to use when recaulking the top sides on a 1939 33' CC cruiser. The boat was moved from Minnesota (65% humidity) to Colorado (35% humidity) in 2002. It will return to MN in approximately 2009. It has been out of the water for 5 years. The gaps to be ca...
