Re: Cabin Sole finish recommendations?

I've used Bona Traffic, a water borne finish we used for durable finish on oak floors. Two parts, easy application, rapid curing and easy clean up.

I'd like some help from the many Yanmar experts on the forum:

Re: 3GM30f loses prime

Thanks, gonesail, I did replace the washers on each side of the secondary filter, but not all in the system. Perhaps need to check that.

Re: 3GM30f loses prime

Thanks again, I obviously need all the help I can get. I'll unscrew the top of the Racor and assure that the filter element is sealed and the gasket not leaking. As I replaced with new I assumed that...

Re: 3GM30f loses prime

Thanks Engine Man,
That's a good idea which makes me hopeful! Hard for me to run the return in a "U", but I can easily run the line up before down to the tank. In fact, I'll do a test by running...

Re: Harken identification needed

Looks like a MK1 or II. The opening in the MKII drum has a bracket around it that the MKI does not have, I believe, so it should be easy to ID the Series, but I'm not sure how to distinguish between...

Re: Raw water pump repeatedly leaking
