I had a ST4000 on my 35 Mk II. I was never happy with it. Went with a
below deck unit, and never looked back. If you are not handy enough to
install it yourself, it can be an expensive undertaking.

Not sure of the weight for my Westerbeke (will look), but I use Shell Rotella
heavy duty oil for diesel engines. Don’t use the regular stuff.

I also use Shell’s Rotella. The weight would depend on the temperatures your
engine is to endure. However, our engines are hardly ever running overly hot
(shouldn’t). Rotella T 15W40 should meet more than you need.

Well, yesterday, as we left our overnight anchorage, I did a full reset of the
autopilot. Followed by the linearization that only showed a 3 degree
deviation. This indicates there are no issues with the compass being influenced
by and ferrous interference. A few of the rudder setting were way
This sounds obvious, but no one has mentioned it, I think: Did you check the
belt?
Several years ago, I had a maddening problem with my 4000+. Turns out the belt
was worn out in one spot. Every time it reached that spot, the boat would go
out of control ...

Ok, so I finally got them freed up. For one I used a monkey wrench and it gave
after considerable force. The second required a 2' pipe slide into the end of
my huge monkey wrench and came free with the leverage with no damage to
anything as far as I can tell. The drums needed scrubbing with a no
Hey Everyone,
Well we were lucky enough to be able to take out our 34 this past Wednesday
for the Blue Angels show in Annapolis. On our way back our Yanmar 3GMF
would occasionally make a knocking sound. I'm hoping you guys might know
what could have caused it.
When it happened:

Lapping compound is needed to smooth out the surfaces so that they join
properly and provide a good seal. If they aren't smooth, then the
possibility of a leak is far greater. Check out that link I provided on the
servicing of them and it explains it really well.

They both appeared very smooth- just black tarnish and small amount of pitting
around the holes but they didn't appear to be in dire need of lapping or
grinding. There was no build-up or scoring on the inner drums. The outer drum
is hard to tell.
Do all of you do a round of lapping when you ser
Hi Dan
I've only lapped the leaking ones (three of mine). The others, I periodically
(every couple of years) put grease nipples on and crank in some waterproof
grease - Loctite Viperlube (Schooner Industrial in Burnside).

Long short. If the head has the controller in it, such as a ST4000, ST4000+,
ST6000 ...
when it starts acting up place a cloth over it and soak it in ice water for a
minute or so.
If the unit starts working normally you likely have a component overheating.
I have fixed two by noticing where th
Kevin,
Fill the fuel tank with 6 to 10 gallons of fresh fuel, try it out, and get
back to us. Check your racor filter for air. Low fuel/air in the
line/water in the line can all cause rough operation. These Yanmars have a
lot of backlash in the engine and when you get rough operations the clutc
Yea I did that today and started it up and it sounded fine. However I
didn't put it in gear or take it out of the slip. The racor was full and I
didn't see any water in it either.
Now it does vibrate pretty good under operation. I looked at the engine
mounts though and none seemed to be cracked or
Had a chance to take some videos of the sail pack operation. I'll try to
get some of the main going up and down but it is a bit of chaos with only 2
