Re: Seized seacock
I had one last summer that got tight and in August the pressure caused a slight drip / weep on one end below the nut that holds it down. I need to fix this spring. Anyone ever have this issue and

Re: Glow Plugs
If you have the Mitsubishi engine cross reference for your WB, the plugs are only $9-10 each. That¡¯s why I said what the hell may as well.

Re: Glow Plugs
Glow plugs can and do burn out but can last a long time. As long as your engine is starting well you shouldn't need to replace them. -- Sabre 38-2 #164

Re: Seized seacock
I was out to the boat today and tried to move a few seacocks just out of curiosity and no go, so will apply the solvent, tool force and patience approach. Dave G Serenade 1983 34-1 #184 NB, Canada

Re: Seized seacock
As a counterpoint to Tim¡¯s experience, I offer that it may take more than one afternoon. My galley sink drain seacock was a true PITA stuck in the closed position when I got my boat. I cut the hose

Re: Glow Plugs
Should not wear out. I had problems with some of the interconnecting wiring and terminations. I also had to replace the relay that energized them. But as long as the resistance is good it should be

Re: 402 head/shower drains

Re: 402 head/shower drains
On the 38mkii we have to remember to shut the sink drains both in the head and the forward cabin, otherwise risk taking water when heeling. Len Bertaux

Re: 402 head/shower drains
