I bought an unloved sad broken engined Seamaster 27 in June 2014. I spent 2 years working on the interior cleaning out rot new engine and so on. In May of this year it finally cruised under its own power for the first time in at least 7 years. The inside is sorted, time for the outside. My windows are the biggest problem, in particular the long main cabin window, can anyone tell me where I can get replacement rubber for curved aft part of the window that opens outward. These rubber seals have warped, shrunk and buckled, so every time it rains I have leaks. Also the beading for the sliding windows are rotten and need replacing. Any suggestions, help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Paul

The boat is currently moored in the North East of England and I'm interested in hearing from anyone interested in offering a sensible price for this rare boat, outfitted beautifully in teak and mahogany other than soft furniture all original specification.

Hi,

I have seen a few obviously fairly new canopies fitted to boats on my travels & quality & fit seem very variable. I can't seem to find anyone local (Norfolk/Cambridge) so it looks like it will have to be mail order & therefore no opportunity to see before I buy & potential difficulties if it's not up to scratch.
Would appreciate any input,

Thanks, Tim

We've just bought an 820 with a Thorneycroft 108 engine and I've been reading up on how to drain the system (prompted by the article in the current edition of the magazine!).

As I'm new to this engine I thought that the Thorneycroft Owners Manual would be the best bet but after reading the relevant section I'm confused.

The instructions are:

photo raw_water_zpsbcl7s9nv.jpg

I read the sentence starting 'Alternatively' and can't follow it at all although I assume it's suggesting that purging the system with an anti-freeze mixture is the goal.

Does anyone have a recommended method of draining or otherwise winterising the raw water system on this engine please?

Many thanks,

Hello there Forum

I am just starting the process of purchasing a Seamaster 34 as a second boat and I was hoping to find people out there who had either had one or has any advice. The reason behind this is that the one I am going for needs work on it in terms of bringing the interior back up to standard whilst adding a touch of 2016 to her. She is going to be kept in Greenwich and has twin Perkins 6.354 normally aspirated engines on board. Plenty of grunt there and these have just been serviced.

I would love to hear any stories or history you know or if anyone would be happy to share some pictures with me, it would make my life a lot easier.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance.

Hello,

New member to the club and first post, so please bear with me. I recently bought a Seamaster 17 with a Ford Anglia 105e (pre cross flow) engine. The tappets were a bit noisy so I decided to adjust them. When I got inside I noticed the intake pushrod on the first cylinder completely bent out of shape and was not even opening the valve. I straightened as best I could for now but need to replace it before I cause serious damage. I've not been able to find anyone stocking these. Any pointers to where I might be able to source it would be great.

We have a Seamaster 23 with the 1970's Ford 1600 Crossflow. The engine temperature switch connector has broken off so I am after a replacement switch. However I cannot locate one. The unit is marked SWN11, 200F and 363-F. SWN11 appears to be a Lucas number but is not recognised on Google. 200F I assume is the temperature setting. 363-F only shows up on a switch a Stewart Warner switch in the US (Part 83307) but the thread size appears to be wrong. Theirs is 1/2" NPT. The switch I have is a 3/4" thread. I have tried several of my local motor factors, the 'been in the business for years type' and they cannot match it to a current part number. Any guidance on a potential part number or method of finding one would be appreciated. Or do you have the same engine with a different part that would also suffice?

Hi all,
We have a SMC28 and have recently realised that our steering gear is in need of maintenance.
Does anyone know where I can get a diagram showing the internals of the mechanism that connects the steering cables to the rudder through the hull?
I'd like to see what is in there (and, perhaps, get some idea of material specifications), before taking anything apart.

Hi All,

as i am a newbie i would like to thank everyone in advance for their help :-)

I am the proud owner of a Seamaster 23 cabin cruiser and it is my first boat . when we first got her the engine was unreliable to say the least and my first ever venture out resulted in a breakdown and a drift to the bank side and no ability to rectify it until a nice gent in a passing boat offered us a tow!
as you can imagine that knocked our confidence and the wife refused to go on it again and the children were forbidden which was against all the reasons i bought the boat in the first place!!
i have since fitted a new engine ( ford cross flow 1.6 petrol engine) and it appears to be a sound engine only the problem i have now is i have lost all my confidence and i find myself sitting on the pontoon with the engine running worrying about breaking down if i cast off!! such a shame.

a friend has said i should by a tender as a back up so in the event that a breakdown i could at least get my family back to shore safely and also possibly have the ability to tow the boat back to the mooring.

i have since purchased a 2.6m wet line inflatable dinghy with a Yamaha 2HP 2 stroke engine. i don't need to go fast or get on the plane as it is an emergency back up but people are telling me that it wont move against slight tides and definitely wont pull a 23 ft boat!!

can i get some advice regarding this please as i thought i had eliminated one risk and now i have another :-(

thanks again for your help guys!

Hi there all
A few months ago i for filled a childhood dream after many years of of boating on the Norfolk broads brought my first boat, which I must confess was love at first sight (please don't tell the missus !!!). She was recently upholstered throughout with a new canopy! , how lucky am I I thought. I knew she was a seamaster but was not 100% sure as to which model she was, especially as she was listed as a seamaster 27!!!
After much research I found I may have stumbled on to something quite rare a seamaster 26 commander. I don't know here exact year of build or wether she was one of the first or last but what I can say she has stolen mine and many others hearts in our short but hopefully very long time together....
I would be very interested if there is any information available

Hi Peeps

I have just bought a seamaster from my brother (who is a Seamaster Club member, as I will soon be)and am already hooked with it being my first boat. It needs quite a bit of work, being an older model and there are a few leaks through the windows etc. to sort out.

My question is............. the boat has a huge wooden flat canopy above the rear area, with the windscreen being wooden framed (parts now rotting)and leaking also.

I would like to remove this for a nice split framed windscreen and seperate canopy to enjoy the sun when we get it.

I have looked throught the net to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions for manufacturers please?

I am moored at Yalding in Kent.

Hi Guys,

thanks for taking the time to read my post. my wife and i bought a seamaster 23 last summer and we have had our fair share of teething problems with the wortham blake pre crossflow engine so we decided to rip that one out and refit a crossflow petrol engine which appears to be a lot better( actually looking for a vintage ford mechanic who may be able to tune it for us!!).
now we are going to concentrate on the interior a little bit but firstly we were wondering if there is any where to buy the side folding seats from as we only have the one on the steering side.
secondly , we want to upgrade the instrument cluster as it is very dated but we were hoping to employ someone to do this as we need all the wiring redoing - does anyone know anybody in yorkshire who might take on a job like this?

your help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,

I have been asked by a friend to see if I can trace the history of the Nantucket 31 he was given last year. It had been partially sunk at her moorings in Langstone Harbour and passed to him when the owner died. There is no documentation with the boat and she doesn't even have a name, although we were able to find out from a previous SSR number that she was once called "Pragmatist" when registered between 1989 and 1994. She also had a set of dodgers onboard with the words "If and When" written on them but we don't know if this was a name that was ever given to her. All he knows is that it is a Nantucket 31 MkII built by Seamaster boats in 1970 and it has a builder's No. of 3524.

She is now well on the way to a first class restoration but it wouldn't be complete without being able to put some history together. He doesn't use the web so I volunteered to help out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can trace her history? We'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Many thanks

Please can someone help? i have a 23 Cruiser and am trying to restore it to a more original state and am in need of a helm seat frame , i think it should be side mounted but am unable to find out where to get one from, if anyone has an old one or knows where i could get one it would make such a difference to the restoration, thanks for reading.

Hi. I'm wanting a boat for use in the sea but also fancy travelling on canals. Can Seamaster boats be used for both? This might be a silly question but I'm only just starting to find out about boats!
Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have a perkins 4108 diesel engine, when the engine is running the revs will increase by about 200 revs by itself and then drop down again, they keep jumping up and down, has anybody ever had a problem like this and what could be the problem?

Thanks

Jimmy.

The Ford X flo 1500 engine fails after 40mins running when throttling back to tick over, changed points, condenser and coil (fitted 2 so I can change over). Water pump is running ok but it seems that the engine is running very hot and possible causing a "vapour lock" as it starts and runs well after a 20 min rest!
Plugs seem white as if its running lean, dose any one know what plug should me used on this engine.
Any help or advice on cooling would be most helpful
Regards
Roger

Does anyone know if asbestos was used in the production of the roof and wall linings of the 1980 seamaster 30?

I've recently taken part ownership of one of these boats and have been advised that asbestos was used, when I have been leaning the boat I have noticed fibres coming away.

If this common in these boats and am I looking at a restoration job?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Roger

Have apparently thrown away (don't ask!)the removable engine oil filter bowl with its spring and bolt from my 8 metre's 4-107. Does anybody know from where one of these assemblies can be sourced. Alternatively a 'spin-off' conversion kit if one available for this perky?
Thanks.
