With previous boat we had a stalling issue when slowing or throttling back.
Yanmar would run all day if need be and as soon as approaching a dock or
mooring, would stall. Spent days trying everything. Filter changes, tightening
hose clamps, changing crush washers turned out to be sludge in
My Universal is a Kubota diesel that has been marinized, Like a Beta. I’ve
discovered that almost anything that is not a specific part of the conversion
(like the raw water pump or the heat exchanger) is pretty much available from a
Kubota tractor dealer – and there are a lot of them.

Since your filters are already clean, my first guess would be the fuel lift
pump… particularly if it is an electric lift pump. They get hot and lose
effectiveness with age. High pressure pump gets starved for fuel and stalls.
Happened to me (twice) on my Universal engine (which is a Kubota
So I needed to get launched and over to another marina for some extended
maintenance. It was a nice chance to see how the new drive train worked.
Everything was fine and more or less "normal". Shaft seal didn't leak and
vented just fine, no new or excessive vibes in the drive line.

Out here on the East Coast (South Coast MA) very different experience with “The
Navtech Guy”. Spent almost 1 boat buck within 2 years to realize I needed to
go to a real hydraulic shop and get what I needed for a fraction (10%) of the
price.

There are lots of discussions on the web about repairing hydraulic
backstays. The one overwhelming constant in most of them is the high
regard folks have for Lew Townsend's work.
I wanted to use him to repair mine a couple years ago. Contacted him but
he was just about to start a 3 week
Worked great! I've had at least 3 different things shipped to him on
separate occasions. Cost of shipping sucks but knowing that it is done
correctly is worth it.

With a higher output alternator (80 amps) the load can outstrip the friction of
a single belt. And with some configurations and an obtuse angle on water pump
(ike on the 3QM30) also creates much dust.

Josh,
You dealt with Lew in Seattle? That's a haul from the Solomons, MD.
How did that work out?

I don't see enough advantage of a serpentine belt. Solar panels make a better
investment and you won't need to run the engine.

You are absolutely correct Marek.but BoatZinc's only had zinc and aluminum
for the end of the prop. I went with what they recommended...
--==>Spencer~~~Spencer,
For fresh water you want magnesium (aluminium is for brackish water)
My hydraulic backstay failed while on an ocean race. I didn't notice it
until we started slipping on the hydraulic fluid all over the cockpit
floor. We used a spare halyard as a backstay until we finished the race.
I have all my hydraulic work done by Lew Townsend in Seattle. He has done

BobI replaced my pedestal so I could mount a 9" Raymarine touchscreen
MFD...and updated electronics at the same time. It came with a single lever
shifter/throttleworks great...I can easily disengage the shifter to just
use the throttle for starting and revving.

While replacing the seals is cheap and simple, I would encourage you to
consider having Lew give you a quote a d explanation of services. He found
a number of different deficiencies with my back stay hydraulics beyond just
Jake,
I know you sold Midnight Mistress, but my HYC based C 30-2 could use new
seals. Do you remember who you used for the job? I talked to a Hampton
rigger and he wanted to send it to New York to get the unit rebuilt. I
liked the idea of your cheap and easy fix.
Thanks for your help,
Allen

Hi Bob,
1) throttle/shifter location - my observation is that the location on the
lower starboard bench is an odd location, somewhat inconvenient by design.
I have seen some models with the Edson pedestal shifter installed. Has
anyone done this conversion?
Call Edson, they very likely have a
Price? WaterWeld is about $6 for a 2 ounce tube.
I know it works. I discovered a small leak below the waterline last year
while working near the rudder tube. Probably coming from a defective layup
around the tube. Slapped some WaterWeld on it. Hasn't leaked since.
I keep a tube of WaterWeld
In 2003, I removed a one lever engine control on the cockpit side when I
converted from tiller to wheel steering. I installed separate levers for
throttle and shifter, all Edson. I wanted the controls at the helm and I also
wanted to be able to rev the engine while the transmission was in
Hi John, I visited this boat in Detroit last year when I was
searching for a 34/36. The boat looks good from on the ground looking up at it
on the hard but have you actually been aboard? The former owner was a terrific
gentleman but the boat has had just about zero maintenance
Thank you, Graham and Dennis. I tried tightening the bolts to no avail. I
will give the epoxy a try. Any difference between water weld and Marine
tech underwater epoxy?

Your air vent is completely blocked. Is there a screen over the vent in
the side of the hull? If the screen is damaged Mud Dauber Wasps sometimes
build nests in the vent line, blocking it off.
