Re: Mainsail for yawl
If you're interested in a used sail let me know. I have an extra mail sail that came with the boat. Haven't even taken it out of it's sail bag yet, but if this is a possibility for you I'll lay it out

Re: Mainsail for yawl

My old main finally blew out on my #226 T27 yawl. Can't afford a new one and have been searching the used lofts. Anyone got a lead?

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F
We checked the filters and bled the lines. Couldn't get the injectors due to rust. Also, I learned after the event the fuel is very old. That probably was the root cause of the problem. We didn't have

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F
I installed a 2GM20F in my Tartan and the only problem I have had with it is air in the fuel system....which will kill the engine in a heartbeat.? I would check the fuel system, be sure everything is

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F
Congrats on your Tartan 27 and welcome to the group. Was raw water actually flowing? If you have a wet exhaust setup, exhaust will sputter water out. Do you have a temperature gauge for the engine?

In that case go with 5/16". Rope is not chosen for strength often but more for hand. 5/16 is about the smallest you can handle easily to pull. One continuous length is best. -- Cheers Brian
