Re: Catamaran Haul-Out Marinas

For what it is worth, the SneadIsland in Palmetto info is incorrect. They are only able to haul a 19’ beam.

Strange Electrical Problem

My guess would be that the capacity is much lower because of how far (and often) they have been discharged. Since they have lost the capacity, the input tapers off much faster. 12.1v is a pretty low...

Re: No Oil Pressure. No Problem?

So for what it is worth with my 3ym30s, there is only an alarm and no actual oil pressure readings. The instrument panel(s) are not original and they allow you to scroll through the voltage, oil...

Re: Engine Belt

It seems like it is pretty common with my 3YM30s when interacting with other owners. The ones that have switched to the equivalent Gates belts are getting much more life. I have a set for both motors...

Re: Why does Yanmar recommend leaving SD20 in neutral while sailing

Yanmar starter relay

Refrigeration - Evaporator vs. Holding Plate

Actually, Richard would have not "inferred" he would have "implied." You would have "inferred" something from his comment.

Re: Yanmar 3ym30 Problem

Mercury Dynamic 310 Hypalon Dinghy any good?

I bought a PVC Dynamic Rib and really had no issues for the 5 years I owned it. I am about to purchase another one to go with the new boat.

Re: Portable Generator on Boat

Obi,

Did you use a capacitor or the "Smart Start" by Dometic? All the reports I have heard have said that using the Smart Start module solved the problem.
