A few things the Moyer Manual does not cover As I have dug into my A4 pretty much as deeply as it is possible to dig, I have discovered a couple things that the Moyer Manual overlooks, which would be nice to have covered in there.

FROM Dewey: " Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors.

Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day.

They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website.

It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over popular and obscure books and over magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous.

The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle.

Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat.

And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug.

And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership. You inspire us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do.

Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article. Be sure to include this page's title in the subject line. Also, your corrections, updates, additions and suggestions are welcomed. It has been truly amazing to see what we have been able to accomplished when we've worked together. Thanks to all those that have donated their valuable time and energy, and a special THANK YOU to all that have supported this cause with their membership donations.

I love the old boats and not interested in the new ones at all Of course it has the venerable Atomic4 in it and I copied down the serial and model and sent it to Don to see if he could tell me the age, when made etc. I went hunting. I found one web site that had all kinds of info. I simply offer it here for the benefit of all interested in this great old engine. Circa Serial? Zenith series M2AE7 cast iron carburetor with adjustable main jet. Dole thermostat. Auto-lite ignition.

Fairbanks Morse magneto optional. Auto-lite 6 volt starter. Auto-lite 6 volt generator. Last edited by Mo; at PM. I've read the posts on this issue, and I understand the T-fitting needs to be between the raw water seacock and the inlet side of the water pump. Is anyone aware of a problem with this type of install? I've added a photo of the existing condition the engine compartment is a mess - I've owned the boat for only two months and a big cleanup is planned for the winter.

Finally - this forum is an extraordinary resource for novices like myself, as is the entire Moyer Marine site and product line. I doubt if I would have bought a boat with an Atomic 4 if these resources weren't available.

Thanks to all. Attached Images. Should be fine I close the T valve cock and open the sea cock. If a little bit of antifreeze drains back and out it makes no difference However, if you forget to do it in the spring and start the engine as the boat enters the water I don't winterize but I guess a flush is a flush.

Here's my setup. Put a shortened garden hose on the bibb, other end of the hose in a bucket filled with whatever, close the raw water thru-hull valve and open the bibb valve. The bucket contents are drawn into the running engine, close the bibb valve when finished. You'll see the bushing reducer at the bottom of the valve body. Welcome redlion. As you can see, there are many options, and Neil showed an excellent one. We were allnewbies at one time. I didn't know jack about my Atomic 4 when I got my boat about 6 years ago..

She is even happier with fresh paint on the topsides! Good morning Mo, Neil and Shawn I appreciate the feedback and how quickly it was delivered. I've ordered this morning from MM the brass fittings for doing this T-fitting in a very similar manner to that shown in Neil's photo. Mike, feel free to continue to ask questions as you go along. As you are learning quickly, pictures always help alot, and if you talked to Ken in parts, I am sure he gave you some knowledge too.

So, since you are now indoctrinated by posting a pic, we can start scrutinizing and asking questions! It looks to me like that Sheilds hose is way oversized It would be interesting to know where that big huge hose goes to before it gets to the pump, and why it is so big. It may be a product of the thru-hull fitting where you are pulling raw water from, etc. Also, hopefully beyent, the person that asked Ed the original questions is reading this thread too, and will pop in and we can help him out too..

It's in good condition and I can live with the space it takes up. As for questions, I've got plenty. My next issue - I hope to pull this engine this winter the marine surveyor I used prior to buying said the cutlass bearing is nearing replacement. Accessibility to that work requires engine removal I'll be following Don Casey's "This Old Boat" for the cutlass bearing replacement.

From a picture I took I've found that cell phones can be great eyes at the end of your arm, as long you don't drop them into the bilge I'm puzzled at the fitting configuration at the interior hull end of the shaft. It looks like a loose nut in front of a stuffing box arrangement.
