Hi Earl,
If you have RG-58 now and are replacing it with RG-8X,
they are the same diameter so you should have no trouble
with the replacement. It is very unlikely that the
either of the cables will break regardless of age.
A better coax would be LMR-400 or RG-213, but they are
both more expensive and larger in diameter.

Re: AGM Battery recommendation
Hi Bob - I have a 30-3 Sabre 1986 purchased new. I completely rebuilt and upgraded to a battery box with 450 amps hours and separate staring battery many years ago because of wanting refrigeration etc. I purchased 6Volt AGM batteries because they are easier to handle and plates are 30% thicker than 12V batteries and they last 600-800 cycles.? Two placed in series then another two in series are paralleled to make 450 in house bank and separate 120 V 12 volt starting battery on battery isolator illiminator so starting battery is always fully charged an "hot".? 8 AGM 225 6 volt batteries purchased 2013 and replaced again last summer 2024 from Aims Invertor store for about $900.
They are: AIMS AGM6V225AH
Size 13” L x? 7” W x 9.0” H
Have flat screw in bold terminals on top
Float Voltage 13.2-13.8 V
Charge Voltage 14.4 -14.7 V
Max amps charge of 64 amps
Should be good for 600-800m cycles (50% discharge)
Hope this helps.

Our engine layout is similar to your pic, but coolant tank is port side, and we have no flywheel (?)
I’m beginning to suspect that I purchased an incorrect too short v-belt a couple years ago off a cross referene on someone’s web page.
When our alternator is pushed up against that coolant hose to the left in your pic, my v belt required gentle persuasion with large screwdrivers, not ideal.

Don’t do Starlink unless you really need to work remote. . ?I don’t trust they won’t over subscribe and there will be contention and slow speeds.?
Of course the Starlink equipment is “throw away” so whatever works for you.?

Re: About carrier-provided satellite features on iPhone - Apple Support
I wouldn’t count on any of it this season. If I recall correctly, T-Mobile is in beta test with StarLiink, and there aren’t enough V2 mini satellites on orbit yet that have direct-to-cell transponders. VZ and AT&T just had their first public announcements and successful field tests with AST Spacemobile, which has not yet launched enough satellites for complete coverage; commercial service is months off. Last I saw, iPhone/Globalstar only supported E911 messaging; I’m far more comfortable with DSC and a 409 MHz EPIRB.
Next year it should get interesting.

Re: 426 belt replacement - raw water hose makes it difficult
I plan to be on board tomorrow to install the crank pulley with the M10x20 bolts that I ordered from Amazon. I’ll take a pic or two. I have two belts, 44.5 and 47 inch due to wrong initial order, so if the smaller belt gives me the same issue, I’ll try the larger belt for the heck of it.
Our engine layout is similar to your pic, but coolant tank is port side, and we have no flywheel (?)
I’m beginning to suspect that I purchased an incorrect too short v-belt a couple years ago off a cross referene on someone’s web page.
When our alternator is pushed up against that coolant hose to the left in your pic, my v belt required gentle persuasion with large screwdrivers, not ideal.

Hi Neil, Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of our motor as she looks today, just partial pics. ?I am enclosing a 2003 426 stock Yanmar install. ?This is not our boat but it was how our boat looked when we bought it. I believe the only difference is the overflow tank is on port on Kingfisher. ?We do not have any interference on our engine when changing the belt and we have a serpentine belt. ?Can you post a picture?

Has anyone figured out a good way to move the raw water hose and re attach it when replacing alternator belts on a 426?
The hose literally prevents the alternator (we have 105A Balmar) from moving more than 1/4” toward the centerline.

Re: Ideas for Sailing with a Kayak?
When I sailed with a kayak strapped inside my shrouds, it was always in the way so i gave it away and now thinking about an inflatable. However, I recently saw a boat that had one stored outside their shrouds. Appearance aside, this may work.?

For 38 years we have owned our 1986 Sabre 30 Mark III on Lake Michigan which is "on the hard" with mast off and scheduled for re-stepping 6/2/25. I need to replace the VHF cable with 8X. Wondering if I have to pull top of mast in order to replace cable or if I can just attach new smaller diameter? 8x cable to the old VHF cable at bottom or top of the mast and pull it through? I have some concern about doing this if there are attachments (for strain relief?) in the mast or if cable breaks. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
