Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

I like your suggestion. Now I recall last summer the exhaust was belching out a lot of carbon into the water when the throttle was goosed. You may be onto something. Ok. Exhaust elbow disassembly is moving closer to the top of the list. Thanks. Brent 27-5 Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 2,

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

Brent, If you or the previous owner ran the engine at low rpms frequently, then mix elbow pluggage is more likely. Diesels, and Yanmars in particular, like high rpm and heavy loads. First thing to try is to disconnect the water discharge hose that connects to the mix elbow. With the engine

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

Thanks for the suggestion on the mixing elbow. That's my next item on the list after the injector. I've read that Yanmar had some very big mixing elbow issues with some falling apart inside from broken welds and pitted stainless steel issues. I'm not sure if there's a t-stat. I've never been

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

We’ve already determined that Brent has a raw water cooled engine, so there is not coolant to moniter. Normally there is a bypass arrangement in the thermostat housing that allows a small amount of water to circulate through the block to eliminate/minimize the sort of uneven heating you

Joe, 800gph seems plenty. It will rid your bilge of pesky water seepage in no time. If you have a serious hull breach, a much larger pump will be required, Jake Jake Brodersen C 35 Mk-III "Midnight Mistress" Hampton VA -Original Message- From: CnC-List

Stus-List CC 38 Bilge Pump

Hey All I need to replace the automatic electric bilge pump. Currently the boat has a rule 800gph on a float switch. I feel this is woefully inadequate but am struggling with finding the space in the bilge for something larger not to mention the fact that the thru hull to go overboard will

Re: Stus-List Adding insulation to the icebox on a 38 mk2

I have a 27-III. We lined the icebox with aluminized bubble wrap (like what's around some hot water heaters). It added a day or more to ice life. Don't forget to do the lid! Sent from my iPhone On Apr 2, 2017, at 2:30 PM, ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List

Stus-List Uncored areas on 30-2 deck

I am about to reinstall the clutches and handrails on my 30-2. The PO had told me that C made some areas of the deck uncored where factory equipment was installed with through-bolts. I can hear a difference when tapping on the area that the clutches are installed in, so I am guessing that is

Re: Stus-List Adding insulation to the icebox on a 38 mk2

I made a cardboard template of the underside of the counter, and cut a piece of two-inch closed cell foam to match. I glued that to the underside of the counter. I also drilled a hole between my stove and the icebox, and injected foam into the hole. This didn't fill all the space around the

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Brent, I have had a Yanmar YSB12 for 15 years now, and one thing I have had to re-learn a few times is don't be too quick to dismiss the possibility of a cooling water supply issue. Just because you can see water coming out the exhaust does not mean that there is enough. The culprit

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

I would not recommend that, as the uneven heating of the head and block could do a lot of damage before you could ascertain whether there was white smoke or steam coming out. Carefully watching the coolant level is the safest thing to do. Gary S/V Kaylarah ~~~_/)~~ On Sun, Apr 2, 2017

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

While not good for the raw water impeller, could a test be carried out where a cold engine is started without a raw water feed for a couple of minutes. If theres a coolant leak in the cylinder the smoke should disappear. Just thinking outside the box. Brent 27-5 s/v Wild Rover Sent from my

Stus-List Cable for starter

I am planning to do the upgrade recommended in Maine Sailor (http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/universal_wiring_harness_upgrade) to run a wire from the alternator directly to the starter to bypass the 10G wire to the gauge. I am trying to figure out what kind of cable I need. Premade battery

Stus-List Adding insulation to the icebox on a 38 mk2

My question is primarily directed at the 38-2 owners on the list, but might also be appropriate for owners of other mid 70s boats. Have you added insulation around the ice box on your boat, and how? Deconstructing the cabinets, counter, and dish storage cabinet aft of the ice box is way

Re: Stus-List white smoke/steam

In the general sense, probably not. In this case, where the leak is suspected to be between the cylinder and the coolant passages, it might show the problem. But a leak between a coolant passage and and an oil passage, (for example) would not show up on a compression test. Gary S/V Kaylarah
