Dave,

It's a DIY job for many.  Just depends on your level of confidence.  It's
fairly straightforward.  The broken strand(s) may be at a sharp turn.

Here's the link to Touche's complete steering system rebuild and upgrade.
You might find some wisdom and/or encouragement in there.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/115qLR3c13N2THCRpsOF-7UGGJBweFXfd/view?usp=sharing

I found a broken strand.  I also removed the pedestal.  However, I removed
it to paint it.  For your situation, you shouldn't have to remove the
pedestal.

Stus-List Re: halyard/sheet bags

[Matthew via CnC-List]

Chuck:

 

My 42 has winches around the mast for halyards.  When in use, 
we coil line around the winches.  When not in use, there’s not much to store.

 

My main sheet, Cunningham, main outhaul, chute downhaul 
(foreguy), and traveler control lines all lead to the front of the cockpit.  
Like others, we just let them hang down the companionway when in use.  When not 
in use, we coil lines around winches.  An issue someone pointed out to me is 
that one of our fire extinguishers is mounted in a location that a hanging line 
could grab it.  Haven’t settled on a solution for that yet.

Hey guys, 

  

What is everybody using for halyard bags for the lines next to the companionway 
and also sheet bags for the genoa sheets.  Anybody have suggestions?  Pictures?

Hi folks,
I need to get a new electric fuel pump for the Universal M4-30 in
Alliana.I have changed the fuel filters and there is ample flow from
the fuel tank but the engine died when put into gear and now won't
start and seems starved for fuel. Has anybody here replaced an
electric fuel pump and do you have any leads on where I might purchase
one.Thanks

Hello Dwight,

I didn't replace, but added a Facet Gold Flo pump as a spare and for use as
a filter-filler. Works great.

Kind of like this.

Stus-List Re: need fuel pump for Universal M4-30

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

Mine is an M35B, not theM4-30. Do you have a mechanical or an electronic
lift pump?

The electronic lift pump on mine was originally a problem, Universal
(Kubota, actually) came out with an upgraded pump and I have had no problem
in several years. The Universal dealer in my area had them in stock... but
obviously that will do you no good.

When I was dealing with the original problem, I had a failure where it was
not possible to get a new pump from a Universal dealer. I bought an electric
lift pump for a Chevrolet pickup truck with the old 283 V8 engine.
Temporarily wired and plumbed it into the system and it got me home quite
well. I still have it on the boat as a backup to the spare pump I keep among
the engine spares.

And, since after all it is a boat, I fully expect that since I have a spare,
and a backup for the spare, that the pump on my engine will never fail
again.

Stus-List Re: halyard/sheet bags

[Martin DeYoung via CnC-List]

Funny story about dropping halyard tails down the companion way hatch:
We did that on a custom 2 toner back in the early 80’s until a tail got caught 
in the prop shaft. The 2 toner was stripped out enough down below that there 
was a small gap behind the engine box.

After that I always checked before dropping the tails.
