Hi

Was just at the Chicago boat show and the Yanmar rep tells me that the 1GM10 is not available anymore... don't meet emissions or something.... got to go with the 2GM13 HP.

I must second that... keep us posted

Hello folks

Just a quick question… I'm having some issues with my depth sounder… location doesn't seem to be the best… has anyone moved it to a different location and was it successful.

Thanks

Hi Carolyn

Well Capella has all the lines coming to the cockpit... and I enjoy that especially in realy rough weather... however Christopher has a point... you do need to properly secure the sails and reef points... I sometimes just wait and do them later... when its a bit safer.

You will love your roller furling... especially on those cold and wet rolling sails... hoist the sail after its all up and tight..

Hi Christopher

We use 1 quart... of course you have to use only a very small tray with small amounts of VC-17 because it evaporates very quickly...

The first year we used 1 & 1/2 cans...

good luck

E-mail me and tell me more about this biodiesel... I'm concerned about my 85 Buhk being able to withstand it... pump, seal, rubber etc... would they be able to survive the new diesel.

Hi Bill

Welcome.... get the stuffing box/packing glan tighten... it should only allow a couple of drips per sencond when the engine is running... the stuffing box should not drip when the engine isn't engaged...
I would re-stuff the box when you get it out of the water.

Dose your bilge pump have a float switch... check the modle# and see if it's built in.... it could be faulty... or maybe it's just a pump that is on when the swich is on.
