Hi Listers,
A well intentioned crew member tried to remove my speed transducer from the
hull this evening and managed to lose the pin that holds the paddlewheel in
the transducer. It is a Northstar Explorer S310. I have the paddlewheel,
and just need that axle. Does anyone know where to source
Dave,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at Lee Valley, but I did not find what
you did. I bought the handle and installed. The total cost $2.50 (CAD).

vent. Many marinas
Per instruction from the best diesel mechanics I know, I run a 30 micron
filter in my Racor and a 5 or 10 in my engine filter. I don't wonder that
your 2 micron filter clogged as soon as your roiled the fuel in your tank.
I'm surprised it took that long to stop the engine.
A useful addition to
Hi Damian!

interested in the conversation!!
You should think about joining the Sabre list serve too. Its pretty
active. Not as much as this but, still active. I joined them during my
boat shopping because The Sabre
I have some questions for your collective wisdom: what is the best fuel filter setup?First of all, I have to admit I just bought a Sabre 38 (1986). We are en route home from Essex CT to Bass Harbor ME. We were going through fairly rough seas yesterday entering Buzzards Bay and the engine died -
Thanks for the informative reply Russ,
My "go fast" comments were a little tongue in cheek. My main consideration
is to have a combination of sails for cruising.
>From your reply it sounds like the original yankee configuration for the
foresail is the way to go. I had sort of come to that
