I recently had my three blade Max-prop refurbished. My engine was running
rough, so I thought it might have been the cutless bearing. While the boat

were wobbly and the shaft was worn, in addition to the worn cutless
bearing.

I found a web site for a company in California that sells marine pumps.
The company is called Marine Pump direct. The Yanmar distributor wanted
$609 for a pump for my engine. Marine pump Direct had an almost identical
pump, made by Johnson, for $239.
Customer service was great. When I had some
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately they don't source Yanmar parts anymore.

Does anyone have a source for Yanmar engine parts at reasonable prices? The
local Yanmar distributor wants $609 for a new water pump. It's about $100

I race with a 105, and cruise with a 135. With the 105, I run my sheets
through a fairlead a short distance aft of the shrouds, then through a
fairlead further aft, through a turning block and then to the forward
winch. With the 135, I run the sheets the same way but eliminate the

All of your instruments should have their negative leads going to the

You can use aluminum anodes in fresh water. That's what I use. They're
cheaper than magnesium.
To test for stray currents, borrow a clamp on ammeter. Then check the AC
line supply for your boat, and for the boats in nearby slips. The ammeter
should read zero amps. Use the lowest scale, as
Here are two links. One for eBay and one for Defender Industries.
A better arrangement is a Smart Plug and inlet. The cable snaps in without
any threads. The contacts are larger, and when it's not plugged in, the
cover snaps down into place. You can buy the \whole assembly complete with
cord, or you can use your Marinco cord and add the fittings yourself.

you know you have the proper amount of oil, it sounds like you may have the
wrong dipstick.
