    Anyone familiar with Hynautics Hydraulic Steering?

    Follow up to these questions. Cylinder seals have arrived and I'll change them out this weekend. The helm fill screw has a warning "loss of steering may occur if purging instructions are not followed exactly". I can't find the manual online. This model doesn't have a separate reservoir, just...

    Advice On Restoring Center Console Helm

    Good morning, I've been restoring a Maycraft and about to install the deck which leads to the console installation shortly. I plan on painting the boat's gelcoat with a 2 part paint including the console. I already have poly resin, cabosil, 1.5oz CSM, 1708, and wood so I'd like to try to...

    Anyone familiar with Hynautics Hydraulic Steering?

    I would think it's not a sealed system only because the seals for the Hynautic K-10 are available for purchase online. Dometic Marine sent me the parts diagram attached but didn't respond when I asked how to disassemble it. I still haven't tried disassembly and was hoping someone may have some...

    Anyone familiar with Hynautics Hydraulic Steering?

    Thanks do you know the best way/steps of removal to get to the seals? I've seen videos of removing nuts with a special wrench with pins for some models, and also videos of a slot that you remove a pin out of.other models. This model seems to have neither of them!

    Anyone familiar with Hynautics Hydraulic Steering?

    Good morning, I am restoring a boat that with with Hynautic steering -- I believe the cylinder is a Hynautic K-10 (needing KS-07 seal kit) and the helm is an H-80 (HS-08 seal kit). The cylinder starboard seal is leaking and I figured I may as well replace all seals before installing. For the...

    Transom and Stringer Repair Advice

    Thanks for the responses, I'll take the advice and rebuild the stringers from scratch. I don't have the boat in a cradle so I'll cut a foot off from each stringer, replace transom, then remove and build each stringer one by one. This is my 3rd restoration and I do have the compressor/pneumatic...

    Transom and Stringer Repair Advice

    Good morning, I am restoring a '97 Maycraft 1900 as a winter project and had a couple questions I'm hoping someone could help with. I almost have all transom wood exposed and ready to cut back stringers. 1. Either Maycraft or the original owner drilled into the stringers many times for the...

    Replacing Lonestar Bow Eye Advice

    Thanks all, thats why I'm going to do. Very familiar with drilling through this boat at this point, it was a total restoration. Can't believe the bow eye snapped when returning from the maiden voyage.

    Replacing Lonestar Bow Eye Advice

    I don't know what type of metal that original eye bolt is but the metal looks crumbly at the break. Glad this happened now and not if I ever needed a tow. After researching other threads I think I'll need to remove the 6 rivets for the bracket, seal them, then install a 3/8" SS U-bolt...

    Replacing Lonestar Bow Eye Advice

    While winching my boat the boweye broke yesterday. Before I start jerry-rigging an ugly replacement, anybody have any suggestions that don't involve a welder? I'll drill out the 6 rivets and use SS 1/4-20 bolts on reassembly with 3M 5200. I'd want to avoid drilling a new hole through the...

    Prop Selection Advice

    Ah no I wouldn't buy and return it! I meant the quality of the props on Ebay, for example the same diameter, pitch, and # blades can be found on Ebay for $75 as compared to $175 on this website or others on google. I was wondering if anyone had experience with them. My thoughts would be...

    Wiring Yamaha Engine, Remote Control, and Gauges

    To add to this, looking at the original seller's pics attached I see both those harness connected and exiting out the front of the engine. So I believe I'd be missing the below as well as another harness for those wires to go from engine to somewhere else? Analog tach: 6Y7-83540-90-00 Dual...

    Wiring Yamaha Engine, Remote Control, and Gauges

    Hey all, I'm confused and need some help please on what to order. I bought a 2003 Yamaha 90hp (90TLRB) that didn't come with the wiring, gauges, or the controls so I'm hoping someone can provide guidance so I can order all at once. I'm looking at this rigging guide but it doesn't list the...

    Prop Selection Advice

    This was very informative, thanks for taking the time to explain. 90% of time it's just my wife and I, so I will opt for the 17 pitch. Do you have any experience with the Ebay props? They're $100 less for same style like below...

    Prop Selection Advice

    Good morning, I'm looking for a prop for my aluminum 18ft 1960 Lonestar El Dorado with a 2003 Yamaha 90hp 2 stroke (90TLRB) and a little confused with what diameter, pitch, brand to look into. The boat should be 700lbs dry weight and will be used for lobstering and fishing reefs shallow reefs...

    Lonestar El Dorado Steering Cable Length

    When I picked up the boat it had the cable/pulley system but I removed it. I'm going to measure it anyways once the engine is installed but wanted to go ahead and get an idea if anyone on the forum has the same boat. I saw one on youtube with a steering cable that looked really clean but he...

    Clear Marine Vinyl Window Advice?

    Hey Charlie quick question. For your snaps were the screws removable? They all look like wood screws which would be fine screwing into the bow with a piece of wood below but will look weird sticking out the top of the cabin. I'd want to replace with short bolts and endcaps but noone talks...

    Clear Marine Vinyl Window Advice?

    Thanks for the response Charlie! Well you've solidified that it's possible with snaps. I doubt I'd use it frequently out on the water, it's just if a rain cloud passes over I can block off the cabin.
