I did the same. It is actually quite vital, when it gets loose the rudder tube is stressed with side to side motions. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Dennis C. Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 6:03 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.

I didn't have any problems with the G908 pump on my Universal M35B engine in the 10 years between installation and an engine failure due to the PO's cheapness. My boat is in the water year round, as yours is. When I replaced the failed engine with a new M35B in 2011, I kept the old pump as a spare

Check out eva dry. You can google them. Binnacle caries two models. Not sure how good but i bought the eva dry 1100 just because it is light and lugging a household model up a ladder is heavy and awkward Mike -Original Message- From: CnC-List on behalf of Jake Brodersen Sent: Wed 13

I use 2 West Marine (Caframo) turbo heaters in conjuction with a day/night solar vent.  No problems at all in Louisiana winters.  I used a standard dehumidifier for a couple years.  Got tired of taking the heavy thing on/off the boat when I went sailing.  The turbo fans work as well if not bet

Tom, I live in the fairly moderate temps of Virginia. I use a dehumidifier during the summer, but switch it out for an oil filled heater during the winter. The humidity during the winter tends to be rather low. With a heat source, I doubt you will have problems. Monitor the humidity level w

Hey listers... We keep Alera in the water all year, though we do cover her for a few months in the dead season. We have been using oil radiator type heaters to stave off excessive humidity by just keeping the ambient temperature up. We are considering getting some sort of dehumidifier. The

David I remember bleeding the fuel line when I change the filters on my M4-30. Bleeding was no big deal and I believe it is described in the manual that I have, which is packed on the boat under cover so I can't refer you to a page …be sure to shut off the fuel from the tank when you change the

I have not had to change the filters on my Universal M4-30 yet, but was reading the procedure in the manual.  Basically there was no procedure.  They just say to change the filters and the system is self-bleeding.  I am presuming that the electric fuel pump circulates fuel continuously so this will
