Re: 3YM30 Tacho sender thread size?

Devo, one more question: are you driving the Faria tach directly from the sensor, or are you filtering it through the emu-1?

Re: 3YM30 Tacho sender thread size?

DevoDave, did you use Yanmar’s sensor or a sensor from another supplier?

Re: Use primer bulb with Racor 500FG

I have a Racor 500 filler assembly mounted above the level of the fuel tank but below the secondary filter on my Yanmar 4JH3-HTE. When I change the Racor filter, I close the petcock on the feed from...

Re: Shipping sailboat to Ensenada - what to expect?

Caz,

I’m curious to know which shipper you’re using, how big your boat is and how much it’s costing.

Thanks,

Re: Westerbeke 8.0 BCDT generator starts, then stops.

As was noted above, the voltage to pull the fuel solenoid to the run position does wander from the engine to the remote panel and back, and a bad connection in that circuit could well be the cause of...

Re: Cost estimate for Rudder, Skeg and Gudgeon Passport 40

I recently had Foss Foam in Florida fabricate a new rudder for my Stevens 47. Its a big rudder. They charged me $4700 or so. Very professional, great communication. I wouldn't be surprised if they...

Re: Need help rebuilding icebox door

So, these guys sell a lot of reefer parts, including ready-made doors. Perhaps they'll have some thing off the shelf that you can use. RPARTS.COM.

If not, then I'd suggest ripping off the inside...

Re: Where to spend a week sailing in the Bahamas

You would have to charter a boat in Nassau and sail south. The Exumas are a long string of small islands, essentially starting with Highborne Cay and terminating with George Town. You would sail from...

Re: Want AIS on my Jeanneau; Raymarine AIS700 or Veper XB-8000?

Just for the record, MMSI numbers belong to the boat, not the owner. Any time you buy a new-to-you boat, have the seller relinquish the MMSI number so you can pick it up, then you won’t have to...

Re: Looking for my next boat.

A Stevens 47 or Hylas 47 might work for you. Not a great view out from below decks though.

Re: Stevens 47 - Worth a Refit?

I own a 1981 Stevens 47. I’ve sailed the boat from South Carolina to the Abacos and back off shore three times, and in some sporty weather. By sporty I mean 30 knots abaft the beam. The boats are...

Re: Tell me about the Hunter 410

A good friend has a 410. I've worked on the boat extensively and did one 250 mile coastal passage.

On the passage, we had 20 to 22 knots true on the port quarter. The boat was reasonably fast on...

Re: AC DC common ground

That is incorrect. The most common reason for tripping a shore power ELCI breaker is a connection between AC neutral and AC safety ground. This should not be done on a boat, but as it is required in...

Re: Cruising with (or without) a dog

You don’t say where you intend to cruise, and that can make a huge difference.

I recently returned form sailing for three months in the Bahamas with my mini labradoodle, Jack, who was 6 months...

Re: Routing Ft Lauderdale to Charleston, SC Offshore

Having the ability to receive weather forecasts offshore is invaluable, which requires some sort of satellite service. Predict Wind with Iridium Go is popular and the SirusXM service is well liked.

Re: Fridge -- danfoss compressor 3-blink code

You might try calling Cleave at SeaFrost. He designed the system you're working on, and he's very helpful.

The evaporator has an expansion valve on it. It may well be stuck or plugged.

I have...

Re: Weeping keel boats. Cause for concern?

The issue is crevice corrosion, which happens to stainless steel that is exposed to moisture and deprived of oxygen, which is precisely what is happening to your keel bolts. Crevice corrosion can...

Re: Nav station chartplotter doesn't work when Sailing?!?

Consider one of Raymarine's Element Series of plotters. They don't have touch screens, but are substantially cheaper than ones that do. Otherwise, they have the same capabilities as their other chart...

Re: Westerbeke 8.0BTDA - Voltage Drop Under Load

I agree with Lorenzoj that the governor is doing its job because your frequency is only dropping to 59 Hz under 50% load. Since the engine is running at the right speed but the generator isn't...

Re: Attaching waterlift muffler to fiberglass hull interior

If the picture I'm seeing in my head is correct, your muffler was tabbed to the hull, probably with resin saturated mat. Everything is still there, its just that the mat has separated from the hull....
