Greetings all. The 1GM10 Yanmar on my 27 began to give me issues last summer. The usual complaints, hard starting, ran well once it was going. I replaced the filter in the fall and my next move is to replace the old fuel and clean the tank. But judging from the white smoke in the exhaust I'm

50 A is a massive charger. My boat came with the same Guest Charge Pro charger. One of the 5 amp outputs goes to the engine battery and the other goes to the house bank (200 Ah). It seems to work, although I think the 5 A to the house bank is probably too small. Per the Guest documentation, you

Bruce, Your proposal should work but, here are a few things to consider. Lead acid batteries should normally not be charged at a rate greater than 20% of capacity. Group 31 batteries usually have about 100Ah of capacity so lets assume that your house bank is 200Ah and 20% is 40 Amps. Your

Not wanting to come off as a “conspiracy theory” nut, but they do sell a remote oil filter kit that lets you orient the oil filter vertically and in an area where you can actually get tools and a trash bag around the filter to catch the oil waste. On my M34B the oil filter is so tight

Hello all, Our 1994 C 37/40+ has 2 battery chargers.  There is also a ProMariner ProSport 12, Gen 3 which is currently hooked up to the house bank, comprised of 2 Series 31 lead acid batteries. It was originally hooked up to one gel cell and one lead acid (I know, wrong) and was set to the gel

This is the harbour they were trying to get out of or into. One report I read said they were on their way out. The boat went under the pier into the triangle area. Really scary stuff. https://goo.gl/maps/xpKnuNA4GZw On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 4:19 PM, RANDY via CnC-List

Watching the "full version" first minute or two, looks like the main's luff was separated from the mast, and the crew was busy gathering up the main and trying to re-feed its luff. He might have been able to run downwind on starboard tack under jib alone (don't know where that would have led),

I hated how much fuel needed to be vented off my racor 200FG and it still never seemed to be completely vented. The original vent was just a knurled knob on the outlet sife fitting. It wasn't even at the highest point of the filter housing and didn't allow catching the vented fuel. I started

Yes, as they say you get one shot with VHB tape in putting the ports in place. But this is super easy (and probably better) to do by yourself. Like any thing else, the trick is preparation. Before removing the outer film on the VHB, align the port where you want it. Then take some wide
