I have a Whale low profile (non-automatic) pump stuck vertically in the bilge.
It gets most of the water out of the narrow deep bilge on the 34+. It has
worked great for many years. Dave

So I am back to my engine problem hoping someone can help clarify things. I
have had the engine quit several more times, but with no consistency as to when
or why it happens. We were on a cruise recently and used it often and for long
periods going in and out of harbors. Mostly it worked fine
I put in a Morningstar Sunsaver Duo
(https://www.morningstarcorp.com/products/sunsaver-duo/) paired with a 50W
panel many years ago and it has worked perfectly ever since. Keeps my 2
batteries topped up while the boat is at the mooring. I got the one with the
separate output meter, which has
Karl- I agree with Neil that it sounds like transmission, but I have not had
that problem so no personal experience.
As long as we are onto other engine strangeness, my M4-30 dies routinely when
shifting from neutral to reverse at minimum throttle unless I kick the rpm up a
bit. I suspect it
to go this time.) When
we got to our Shilshole Bay Marina slip I contacted the fuel cleaning guy and
had the tank thoroughly cleaned and the fuel polished to be ready for my next
trip with the mast up and its 70' air draft.

I am out for the first time this season. Engine started right up. Motored out
of harbor for two hours. Turned engine off for a while waiting for wind.
Started back up. Ran for 15-30 sec and died. Started up and ran for a bit
longer then died. Pulled bed to get access and fuel pressure and level
FYI...any resistance, whether head (rise) of discharge or corrugation of inner
will increase friction and thereby reduce the outflow and the capacity of the
pump. Smooth walled hoses for discharge are recommended.

I did not rebuild it but had it done about 7 years ago and it has been
fine since.It was $1200 back then.It came with a 1 yr guarantee.I would
look for someone that does this maybe a local transmission shop and avoid
the frustration.
