Saw your post on the Reads Sailmaker. I just finished the reasearch in the Sailrites and the Reliable , Thompsons and other lookalikes. It was a interesting project. ought the Barracuda 2000U-33 from Rel1iable and have done a few projects with it and love it. glad I didnt spend the $$ for the Sailrite LSZ-1 for the usei I will put it to it does the same job for 1/2 the money.

If you have a Pur35 left I will take it. My zip is 36571 and if you can give me a total I will go ahead and get a money order in the mail. Thank You. Rick Berrey

I have 2 fuel filter banks. They are fed on the intake side from 2 sides of a T the middle of the T(2) is fed from the Pearson Starboard or Port selector valve. Output from each filter go to a 3way valve (#1) leg 1 and 2. Common to 3way valve (#2) These two 3WValves are common to common. 3WV#2 leg 2 to Fuel Polish Pump, output from FPP to 3way valve (#3) common. Leg 1, to T4 in return fuel line from engine to tank Pearson selector valve. 3WV#3 Leg 2 to T3 in fuel supply line from Pearson tank valve supplying engine lift pump.
I know your eyes are crossed mine are. It is much easier to visualize it from a diagram than to explain. Send me an email address and I will send you my diagram.
The question of never ever ending maintenance/projects was a rhetorical one.

Backup fuel feed was easy, I diverted the electric pump outlet into a 3 way valve ($14 Possum Marine) into a line "T" on the return line and and the eng supply line.

Wow I am lucky that the PO already did the engine mounts and a new PSS, shaft cutless and strut bearing. But I would like to see any shots you have of the bed and shaft area. Completed the fuel polishing system this W/E sure is Nice to have the redundancy of 2 filters selectable, a electric fuel pump to prime / purge and as back up for the mechanical one. All new fuel lines and generator plumbed in for fuel and cooling.
