Stern light replacement

Here is a simple question that I can't seem to answer without help. How do I access the bulb in my stern pole to replace it?!?

Hi everyone,

First time putting my Chris Craft up for the winter in Northern Virginia. I am looking for a place to set her inside until the spring. Please reply or PM me if you know of an option.

Many thanks as always!

Re: Brass Transom Trim

Thank you for the reply. Might not be original to this boat, but I decided to have the bands chromed. I like the look.

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Thank you for that...I did run a ground wire from the tank to the common ground on the engine. I'll still die somehow, but hopefully not by static ignition of my fuel tank!

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Thanks to everyone for the help. Time for a wrap-up and to put this thread to rest. After all of the great advice in this thread around fuel issues, I pulled the fuel tank and fuel line. Here is what I found in the fuel tank: Fuel Tank.jpg To my eye the tank appears to be in good condition but for t...

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Continuing the quest to salvage Labor Day weekend. Anyone know a place where I can get a rebuilt K fuel pump or rebuild kit in the DC area? I pulled the tank, which has a little debris and will be replaced soon. The pickup is completely clear, so I have a fuel pump problem. Today I'm replacing the f...

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Alright, just returned from trying to start the boat with the new coil installed. The coil made no difference whatsoever, but hey, at least now I have a new coil and probably won't have to worry about that for a while. However, I did learn more about the problem. After at first the engine wouldn't s...

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Thanks everyone. I'm going to install a new coil this evening to see whether that is the issue. Even if it is, I clearly have some engine and fuel system work to do sooner rather than later. I'll come back with an update.

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

This is all great feedback. A few responses. First, I ordered a new coil, so I should know tomorrow whether that is the issue. I also ordered replacements for the other ignition system parts and a pertronix system, so can try those things too. My fear is that you are right about sediment and the car...

Re: K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Jim, thank you for the super quick reply. I went back and forth in my mind whether this was a fuel or spark issue. With this boat being new to me and having many years of use ahead, I'm of a
mind to replace all of these parts. Thanks again.

K Engine stalling ... HELP!

Hi everyone, I think this is what it feels like to reach the end of the honeymoon phase with these classic boats...Any outing that involves a paddle is not what one hoped for! I'm hoping this group can help get us back on the water. Earlier this summer we purchased a 1957 22' Sea Skiff with a K engi...

Brass Transom Trim

Hi everyone, What an amazing board and source of knowledge and information. This is my first post about my first classic boat, a 1957 22' Sea Skiff. The boat is in great condition but needs new topside paint, since it was last stripped and painted in 1999. The sea skiffs have a brass band trim piece...
