fitting

I need two bronze 3/4 NPT to 5/8 hose nipple fittings. I have a 5/8 engine water intake hose and I want to add a sea strainer. The sea strainer has 3/4 inch NPT fittings. I haven't been able to find these conversion fittings anywhere. Any ideas ? Thanks

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the original deck fill fittings, or the replacment oring size for the caps. The 1-1/2"IDx1-3/4"OD 1/8" material is to big. The consequence of using the wrong size or one that doesn't seal on the Diesel fill, could ruin your day. Thanks Rich s/v Breeze...

Last night I was adding grease to zerk(?) fitting on rudder tube. I guess I over filled it as grease worked its way out from under the fiberglass tabing built up around the zerk, not a good thing I suspect. My question will it leak water do I have to reglass- launch in 2 days and many things to...

Going to replace deck fill fitting for waste tank pumpout. Currently have original unit that uses church key to unscrew. See some newer styles that have flip up lever or push button, eliminating need for key. Anyone have experience with newr style? Gut says keep it simple- and dont loose the key

I have an E-32 III with a Universal M-25XP engine. The original exhaust elbow riser started showing rust spots on either side of the elbow indicating that it was failing. The metal was rusting out at both spots so I figured it was time to replace the unit. I contacted Torrensen Marine, via...

I'm having trouble finding a waste pumpout adapter that will fit the deck fitting on my '88 E26. The only 1 1/2" diameter adapter that I can find (Nozall) has a different thread. Does any one know where I might find a different adapter that might fit? I thought I'd check before I replace the...

All, When installing a propane system in our boat I needed the fuel lines to make several sharp 90 degree turns. I located the perfect all metal fittings, 90 degrees in shape and not knowing how many I'd eventually need, bought waay more than necessary. They're a male propane fitting on one...

I'm about to finnish the steering project and need to replace the fittings that connect the pedestal chain to the cable. I think the fitting is a sta-lok but I've never seen one before and there aren't any readily available in this neck of the woods. Can anyone out there identify this fitting...

Today on the Chesapeake Bay at about 16 knots wind at 6.2 knots under sail the gooseneck fitting where the bolt attaches to the end of the boom sheared off and the gooseneck fitting where the bolt went thru is now malformed. I do know that it is an Isomat mast that has replaced the original but...

I'll confess immediately that this is not a problem with my E35-3. I also have a small skiff with a Honda outboard on it. One of the grease fittings on the trim shaft sheared off with the grease gun. There is a hollow threaded section of the grease fitting still left in the hole. I've got to get...

Hello Everyone, I am replacing the thru hulls on my 1978 E-27 and can not find a Bronze Flush 1/2" fitting with the wide flange (2 7/16"). I know many of you have done this so if you have the answer I will be greatful. I am nearing the end of a long refit and with any luck will get to enjoy...

With the help of some friends I moved my mast into my basement today. I am in the process of removing all the fittings and trying to decide whether or not I need them. Attached are some jam cleats and loops of shock cord. They are near the same level as the boom. Can anyone tell me what...

I thought of a simple solution for the annoying problem of trying to make regular sheets fit the boat's beds. We use the aft cabin for sleeping, but I also did the same thing for the V berth for the occasional sleep over guests. I took the foam padding sold in stores such as KMart that fit...

My 1984 rudder tube grease fitting just doesn't function anymore.. Lucky to get this far. Anyone have any thoughts on replacement, as you know it's never where you can get to it easy. So my thought is to replace and insert new fitting at a point that can be reached, thus more frequent...

Does anyone here know what the Perco SS brackets below mate with ? I assume that it is something that attaches to a table ? Are there two because two are needed or to allow the table to be deployed but moved out of the way by a foot ? This is down below in an E23 - MK II. Thanks for any...

Does anyone have a source for the 4 way copper fittting that is located uder the sink. Mine has a couple of holes in it. I have thought about replacing it with a couple of bronze tees, etc. Thanks Mark

Any one have any ideas about where to get a spreader base mast fitting for my 1976 E23. I broke my starboard one this last week while putting up the mast. I have manufactured a temporary one from steel, but won't really trust it in a blow. Thanks for any response. Great Forum.
