Successfully removed lift pump, and headed to Shearwater marine in port Salerno to get a new one. Tomorrow I'll install and bleed the fuel lines, add 2 quarts of oil and cross my fingers!

Hi Folks,

As a new T27 owner, I am really enjoying getting to know her sailing characteristics and I must say that she is impressively nimble for her size!

I have a question for the group. While sailing in some strong winds over the weekend, I experienced a loud crack at the tiller head before reefing.?

Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts as to what may be amiss?

Thanks, Ron

Unless there's a fuel shut-off valve (always a nice feature) that's turned off
or the fuel tank is lower than the level that you lay the fuel line down
(unlikely), yes.

In an emergency, you can zip-tie the fuel line off higher than the fuel
thank, break the siphon (stop the flow once), and plug it with something
clean.

Also, after you run out of fuel, replace a fuel filter, or disconnect
then reconnect the fuel line, you have to go through the process of
bleeding the fuel line to get the air out. Please consult the manual
for your engine for details.

Consulting with a marine diesel mechanic who knows that engine will save
you a lot of time and misinformation. Various leaks may or may not be
possible or remotely likely. Other causes may be common and well known.
