Re: Stus-List Overheating YANMAR (Update)

90% of the time, overheating on a yanmar is due to restriction in the exhaust where the water get injected after the manifold. Usually it connects to a rubber bellows/hose that can be easily taken out. Then poke into the exhaust with a large screwdriver and see if you see flakes of carbon Ahmet Win

I agree with the extra long shaft. When I have my motor mount all the way down, and engine open, the plate that holds the engine actually dips in the water for a few inches.

Why do you want to tighten your keel bolts ? Do you have a "smile" If it ain\t broke, dont fix it. I had to replace my washers on my 25, and ended up using a 4 ft extension to take them off. Then I tightened them to what approximately felt right, which was close to the most torque I could give it,

It depends on your preferences. If you don't want to loose performance then the Dutchman is the way to go. However you will have to deal with the sail cover. The Mack Pack requires a loose footed sail, and is easier to implement. It does not require modifications or anything sawn to your sail. The
