Re: Tired of my outboard
If you don't need large capacity, your outboard fuel tank should be fine. Strap it down. Fuel level sender won't work but don't sweat the small stuff. Don't know if the A4 still has its transmission

Tired of my outboard
kinda tired of my outboard, and since I am not a rich man. I jumped on an almost free (insert snicker here) Atomic 4. $100. 99% complete and it turns over from a 1968 Catalina. The owner got a hot

Re: Hull 93, Free Spirit, projects
Hello Scott, Quite a project/story! Thank you for sharing. The last sail sounded really nice, except for the running aground part. The projects never end, but that is part of the fun, at least in

Hull 93, Free Spirit, projects
Still sending my blog here because everyone else cares even less. With so many minor and major problems, I'm doing a bad job of caring about things I should care about. One of those is a water leak in

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
New pump is in and bled the lines up to the injector pump. Engine is running well. Now I'll keep and eye on the oil level and pray that's where the leak was Sent from my iPhone

Repower.
Was curious if anyone has repowered with an 80's Universal M25 diesel and what if any modifications on the engine cover and bed was required. It's a 1968 T27. thanks in advance

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! Sent from my

Big Boatitis?
Hello All, A member of our sailing club is selling his larger boat at a very good price. As such, we are considering letting Eagle, #662 move on to a new home. Many thanks to all that have helped us

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

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
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

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
Looks like I'm focusing on the lift pump and see if that's where it's leaking fuel into the case. Will diesel start flowing out of pump if I take it off? Sent from my iPhone

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
Thx I called them and Adolf has been consulting with me on the phone, I just pumped out oil and fuel of crank case. I opened up breather hose housing and checked air intake filter. Not sure the next

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
when you are draining the oil you may want to pull a sample and have it tested. This should cost $35 or less. In Stuart you can get a sample kit from Shearwater Marine. That will help put to rest the

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
Not quitting means it is still getting fuel... probably reverse blow-by from the crankcase back into the cylinders, if the crankcase is full of diesel. Overfilling the tank should not cause the

Thx Scott, a storm blew by yesterday and today and the wind was too heavy to work on the engine today at anchor. I'm getting a tow 2 miles back to my marina tomorrow and will begin by draining the

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
Nothing should be able to drip into the crankcase but if the head gasket is blown or the heat exchanger has corroded through, water will get in that way. Okay, let's break this down. Too much stuff in

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
Either it's water or fuel, I did just go through a problem a vapor lock in my heat exchanger and found two leaks in the hoses going in and out of heat exchanger which may have dripped down into crank

Re: Yanmar 2GM 20 breather hose!
If the crankcase oil has water in it it should look "milky"/white, especially after running the engine for a bit. Water and oil don't mix, of course, but they do inside an engine and the water gets
