Re: Prop Shaft/Cutlass Bearing Clearance Tolerances

.003 seems more than acceptable since that works out to one and a half thou. per side ( about the thickness of a piece of paper).

Re: Tohatsu 3.5 no power

If the engine revs in neutral it is not likely the high speed jet. Check the off idle ports with a small piece tag wire if you don't have access to compressed air as a small speck of dirt will...

Tiller pilot tp 10: Rubbish or my bad luck?

I bought TP10 tiller pilot for my great adventure to the North Channel in Georgian Bay. The first one I received was dead right out of the box. The replacement worked as advertised and got the crew...

Re: Am I being cheap and/or stupid?

Evinrude made a model called Sailmaster for that very reason. As far as using the tiller handle on the OB to steer, the problem is generally the clearance between the out board tiller handle and the...

Re: Vulcan Anchors by Canada Metal Products

Looking at them on the website they look impressive. The curve in the shank looks like it would be easy to break out when upping anchor but it may require a long scope initially to get a fairly...

re: Generator Starter Problem

After sitting for any length of time the electrical connections may have corroded. Short of doing a voltage drop test you should clean the connections relating to the starting circuit.

Re: Problems with new injection pump

The v-belt has nothing to do with your injector pump so that's out. If the pump is gear driven there should be timing marks on the gears. Crack the fittings at the injectors to check for fuel flow.

Re: Sensor alarm going off

Your drive may need to have a low water pickup if the leg is coming too far out of the water when up on plane. Look over the transom to see where the leg is provided it is not under a swim platform.

Re: Winterizing - must I change my oil?

I wouldn't. Lube oil for diesels contains a base designed to neutralise the acid formed in the crankcase. With so few hours there is still plenty of neutralising comound in the oil.

Re: Adjusting Valve Clearances on a Diesel Engine

Unless the engine is hot you can bar it over slowly with little danger of it starting. Loosening the injector lines prevents build of raw fuel in the cylinders as you bar it over. It makes for a less...

Re: Rebel Heart Lawsuit

Re: Adjusting Valve Clearances on a Diesel Engine

It's a method that works well on a warm engine but it beats the **** out of your feeler guage over time. I do mine one cyl. at a time cold and recheck after spinning the engine on starter only and if...

Re: Adjusting Valve Clearances on a Diesel Engine

If you divide 720 degrees by the number of cylliders it will give you the number of degrees you need to rotate the engine to bring the next cylinder to TDC. Check for valve rock on the cylinder to...

Re: Glue on lifting rings

Re: Just Bought a Sailing Dinghy...I need Advice

It is essential that you have sails you can control or you could wind up in the drink. Put a stout tether on your rudder so it won't disappear in your wake if it comes off. Three stays means no back...

Re: Yanmar 4JH4AE catastrophic breakdown experience

I'm sure that if the Adjuster found a dead fly under the rocker cover they would use that as justification for denial of the claim, it's what they do. The fact that the valve seat failed on an engine...

Re: Overfill oil

If it is overfull to the point where the crankshaft is dipping into the oil it will probably spew oil out of the engine.
