hi mac,

did you ever get to the bottom of your starting problem?

hi mike,

one thing i've been doing for quite sometime is bringing the dinghy alongside at night to avoid what you experienced. my main concern was needing to reverse in the middle of the night in an anchorage and getting the dinghy line wrapped on a prop.

i think alan nailed it

mike,

is the fiberglass (stern tube) holding the cutlass bearing still in tact? can't think of any fiberglass thing that would be there.

mac,

plz let us know how they work. i may try the gates myself.

so mac are you going to get and use the tool?

i have never used a belt tightening tool either. i just loosen the tensioner bolt on the arm and then i use one of these techniques: 1) put an open end wrench in the slot and then a big screw driver in the remaining slot as a lever or 2) a huge channel lock pliers and squeeze the end of the adjuster...

hi harold, again i preface this by saying we have an older hull. with that said, i've had our rear a/c out thru the existing access panel. i replaced the pan and reinstalled. i replaced a 12K cruisair with a 10K from https://www.flowmarinesystems.com on our mainship. they gave me a great deal at a b...

hi guys,

hi mac, unlike doug i've never removed the alternator. i do loosen it and move in. there are 2 types of impellers: 1) old, no thread. you have to use a small 2 jaw puller or pliers. i have mostly done this one using the puller. 2) new, has threaded hub. on these you can either buy the jabsco puller ...

hi, i have replaced the impellers a few times but never the whole pump. i think that you have to remove the motor mount to remove and replace the pump. i don't know if you know, but the newer impellers come with a threaded hub which allows you to use a jabsco puller for easier removal. not sure if t...

hi mac, i gave this some more thought. another possibility could be a sticking fuel valve. it's the valve that opens on cranking and shuts when you hit the stop button. it starves the engine of fuel and it stops. if the fuel valve closes enough to starve the engine but not completely closes it will ...
