Re: Power survivor 35

It should also be noted that the boss on the pump back that accepts the retaining screw for the quick disconnect interferes with the intake and discharge hoses of the manual model. Just use the pump...

Re: Power survivor 35

This is the older Pur Power Survivor. The membrane is definitely the same. I had thought that the pump body was the same as well. It certainly looks identical. The kits WM sells appear to be for...

Re: Full or modified full keel rudder attached...why not vertical rudder?

It's funny, I just read about this in Hiscock's Cruising Under Sail. He writes it's done to decrease wetted surface by shortening the keel and agrees that if there's too much rake the boat will...

Re: Purchasing advice for batteries and charger/inverter

Go slow. There's no cookie cutter answer for this. I spent several months researching and reading those posts a64pilot mentioned. Spoke to battery and equipment manufacturers. Made a lot of notes...

Re: How to save $50 splicing double braid rope

I too balked at the cost of the metal fids so I purchased the plastic set. I couldn't make a splice. I don't know if it was my inexperience at the time or if it was the fids but I later went for...

Re: Thermostat/Remote control for Wallas 30dt?

You can try asking Scan Marine in Seattle if you haven't already. They have always been very helpful to me and my 30D and 22DT.

Re: Yanmar 2GM lift pump failing

Oh wait... Four Winds - Just to verify - your manual shows the line between the lift pump and the filter housing as a plain fuel line with clamps?

Re: Yanmar 2GM lift pump failing

Do the braided lines have give to them? I mean would they absorb a pulse of pressure like a rubber hose or would they stay rigid as to the volume?

I had read the braided line superseded the solid...

Re: Yanmar 2GM lift pump failing

Thanks guys.

Honestly I don't recall the part numbers and couldn't tell the difference between the pumps.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if most of the motors have a solid or braided line...

Re: Yanmar 2GM lift pump failing

Regarding my experience with the runaway, the evaporation point of diesel is something like 140F a temprature easily reached in the crankcase at cruising speed. My assumption of what happened is...

Re: Yanmar 2GM lift pump failing

I wish it was my work. The first pump it happened to was a new in the box spare that came with the boat. I assumed it was a freak defect from the factory but then found the identical issue with a...
