Re: impeller access in Westerbeke 35B 3 in Sabre 362
Paul,
As you can tell from the replies, this is not an easy task.? I highly recommend replacing with an impeller from Globe.? They are made from a different material and last much longer.? I only replace every three years now instead of every year.??
Roger
For what it¡¯s worth, the water pump on my 35 C in my 2002 Sabre 362 faces forward and is just as easy to service as the Beta.? I don¡¯t know what else might be different between the 35 C and B, but I give thanks for small miracles¡

Re: Mast VHF Coaxial cable
I suggest using RG213 - I have used this on my last boat and installing into my 38.
I would be up in Georgian Bay and get clear signals from Port Huron.
?
I used pool noodles in the bottom half of my mast to reduce slapping inside the mast.
I forgot about that until this thread reminded me.

I changed the head joker valve and deep cleaned the head area, pumping the floor rinse water through the shower sump. The pump threw water violently out of the sink drain. The under-sink plumbing is a mess, complete with RTV. Pump is a Jabsco 50880-1000 Shower Sump Pump. There is a bronze check valve 6" above the thru-hull that I assume the PO added to prevent flooding during heel. The back pressure may be the cause of the violence.
?
I recall, but can't find a post 2-3 years ago showing a nice replumbing of this area. Can anyone please point me to this or another solution?
?
Thanks/Ed

Good morning Nathaniel, our Sabre 28 is currently listed on Boats.com and Sailboatlistings.com. I tried to PM you but I got an undeliverable notice for some reason. You can email me and I would send you the links for our listings or if you search those sites I'm Sure you could pick them out.

Re: Sabre Sailboat anchored in Rhode River MD
Rhode River is a nice anchorage. Stayed there a couple of days last October. The Smithsonian Environmental Center is there and an interesting project. Nice trails to stretch your legs on.

Re: Winter storage in or near Cleveland or Sandusky?

Hi all,
Does anyone have a recommendation for winter storage near Cleveland or possibly Sandusky?
?
Purchasing a boat on the east coast and will be sailing back to Chicago later this summer assuming the Erie Canal reopens.? I¡¯m planning on getting as far as Cleveland, storing her there for winter and finishing the trip next summer.? Or maybe a yard near Sandusky would be less expensive?

Bill, We've stored at Whiskey Island in Cleveland, they allow mast up storage on their stands. No frills, but good competent people. We dock in Sandusky and just made the 7hr trip Wednesday.?

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 everyone,?
I joined the group about a month ago when I nearly had a deal on a S28 (the seller had a change of heart and is holding onto her for the time being), and then last week I just missed out on an S30 that went under contract before I got my offer in. ? ?So I'm back on the market, and thought I'd mention it here. ?If anyone in the northeast has a S28 or S30 they'd like to sell, please let me know!
