    Knock Sensor

    I've got a 5.7GXi-A. The knock sensor screws into a brass fitting (a tee) that extends from the block drain on the starboard side. The sensor screws into the tee such that it is parallel with the block. The 90-degree part of the tee is just a threaded plug that allows the block to be drained...

    Sacrificial Aluminum Prop

    Got a smokin' deal on a reconditioned set of D5 (Aluminum) duoprops for my VP 5.7GXi/1:1.95 firmly attached to my 6500lb cruiser. Current prop is F3 (Stainless). I have no issues with the performance of the F3 - snappy to get on plane, tops out at 40+ mph and cruises comfortably at 20-25 @...

    Malibu MMDC

    I pulled one of these (MMDC only, no gauges or harness) out of my 2001 Chris Craft - Mod edit: no sales, give a way's or other, use PM to discuss further

    What is it?

    So ... I'm winterizing my 2001 Chris Craft Constellation 26 (new to me in 2023) and inspecting all the systems and plumbing to see what I might have missed. I find this 'black box' next to my Cruisair Heat/AC (heat pump) unit tucked away behind a hatch cover in my aft berth. There are no wires...
