I am interested in some items too, though I can never remember at
the moment. A parted parts list would be great. Is there a good condition
mainsail? Was the boat wrecked or abandoned to neglect? Where is the boat
located? Thank you!

Al,
I had a similar problem on a 3qm30 where it would overheat at anything
above 1400 rpm. (normal cruise rpm was 2400). Here are somethings to check.
How is the water flow out the exhaust, is it less than normal? Is the heat
exchanger plugged or partially plugged. If you think you may have blown

simply lay the flat antenna on the coachroof and get about 35 stations.

Just a suggestion, if it happens again, pull the hose off of the through hull
supplying raw water to your Yanmar. Open the valve and you should get a face
full of SF Bay.
If not, you may have sucked something into the raw water feed that did not hit
the filter. In my case I found a very

I have one of the deep keel 40s and keep in mind it needs 8.40 feet of water
not 7.
Also. Don't minimize the wet decks. That can add up quick.
As for sailing the 40 is fine but it really is a one cabin boat unless you know
the others very well.

Hello all;
I added a 19" TV to my boat anticipating some cruising in the future. It fits
nicely on the port side forward bulkhead above the settee facing aft. I even
found an ac outlet nearby for power.
I have been advised by locals who have TVs aboard to go with a omni directional
antenna,
I'm not familiar with how the pennant is attached, but I'm wondering
whether you could fit a hydraulic cylinder in place of a winch. My backstay
and vang are hydraulic, and they are so easy to tension.

Hello Jeffrey..first, welcome to the listmost of us on the C list will keep our boats to the "end", unless we're upgrading to a larger CI own a 77' 38MKII, hull #125. I've owned Impromptu for 23 yearsYour decision to get into a big "old" boat needs careful assessment of your finances
If draft is an issue (or might be a future issue depending on your plans for
cruising, etc.) I would consider the cb model.
I have a 36 XL/kcb (your 40 ft C is actually a kcb since the cb retracts into
a serious keel, unlike some cb boats that have boards only or very small keels)

I own a 30-1, but have chartered a tall rig 40, with the deep keel.
Sailing it was like a freight train... the most amazing speed and
ground-covering ability I have ever dealt with.
Still brings a smile thinking about it.
That said, I thought the interior was set up for a racing crew more than

I'm pretty sure my gage reads in inches of mercury. 29.92in-hg (30) is
generally considered a perfect vacuum (1 bar, -14.7 psig, 0 psia). As I

gage. The arbitrary green band runs between 0 and 10. Yellow is 10 to
15. And

I am not sure it is physically possible to pull more than one atmosphere of
vacuum. That would be less than nothing! One atmosphere = 30 inches vacuum!
My "official" Racor gauge has the yellow line at 7 inches vacuum and the red
line at 10 inches. I have never had it go above 0 unless
When you say ran out of fuel do you mean the level of fuel in your fuel
filter dropped below the outlet?
Which Racor? A 500? If so, check the gasket and check the top for
warping. A warped top may not seal properly and may begin to leak when the
fuel level gets down to 1/2 tank or so.

Tom, I think you have an issue with fuel lift. Either there is a hole in the
fuel pick up at the 15 gallon gallon level in your tank or the lift pump for
some reason isn’t able to pull fuel all the way from the bottom of the tank. If
you had crud and your filters were getting clogged a fuel
My first thought is, why not polish it? Diesels like fresh clean fuel.
My second thought is to check if your pickup goes all the way to within 1/2” of
the bottom of the tank.
Is the pickup on one side of the tank so it’s sucking air when you’re heeled?
I’m having a similar issue with a boat I’m
