Re: Ten Tomm and Mississippi current this spring

I am planning taking the TenTom from Mobile to the Tennessee river and then east. Is this practical in a 23' sailboat with a 10 hp diesel?

Thanks

Re: Which is the Bleed Screw - 2GM20 Fuel Filter

I have a 1gm10 and the manual says the small phillips head is the proper one to use for bleeding the line.

Re: Help! My transmission won't go into gear

Rumlater;
I have no idea what caused the seal to start leaking, but it is clearly shot. Oil just runs right out after filling. Sounds like too big a job for me (at 74 years) to remove the...

Re: Help! My transmission won't go into gear

My manual says it's a KM2C constant mesh with servo cone clutch. Do you have to take the whole transmission out to fix it?

Re: Help! My transmission won't go into gear

So I found the trans empty of oil. Put some in and it leaked right out around the shaft entrance. Big job replacing that seal???

Re: Help! My transmission won't go into gear

Yes I disconnected the linkage at the lever and it moves both ways but doesn't engage the gears. Never Thot about the fluid. Will check that in the morning.

Re: Our shrinking rights and the fight in Oriental NC

Just wondering...do the boats anchored in Taylor Creek have this kind of controversy? Have they been "harrassed" by the locals? Or is there plenty of room there?

Re: Yamaha problem, need help

Thanks for the helpful advice. And for relieving my mind that it's not something major. I'll work on the carb when it stops raining here in sunny Florida and let you know the outcome.
