Many thanks to all of you who suggested questions and offered some opinions
on my query. The boat ticked almost every item on our boat criteria list,
but discovering the crack in the keel really caused us to hit the brakes.
While anything can get repaired, we have decided the potential additional

The middle length of a symmetrical spin, and the luff of an a-sail, are
nominally 95% of the length of the headstay of a boat. For our 38-2s with a
52’1” headstay, that would be about 49’6”. Longer gets a penalty under PHRF. If
you’re a cruiser, it just makes the sail a bi
I was about to comment that the Racor diesel fuel filter I installed on Imzadi
about 16 years ago had a priming pump in the filter head. I understood that the
filter head without a priming pump was primarily used for a water filter for
gasoline engines (mostly outboards).
I use the smallest
FYI - You can always add an electric pump after the Racor and before the
engine that feeds back to the tank. You can turn it on to suck fuel through the
filter after changing it to prime it and also just leave it go to clean a tank
of fuel.

Rick, you seem like a good person to ask this question,
Is there a good way to estimate what the equivalent Hours, like say 2,500
engine hours on a boat, would translate to in Miles, (odometer reading) to
guesstimate life span?

Bill,
I've heard people quote 25,000 hours between rebuilds for engines similar
to ours in fleet service. That's basically taxis and work skiffs. They
start 'em at the beginning of the day and don't shut them down except for
fuel or to go home. They also run more or less full load most of the d
A rough guess to a car would be hours X about 40 for miles, but there is not a
real equivalent like that because the duty cycle is so different.
Here is an example – Lycoming O-320 aircraft engines are rated for 2,000 hours.
That probably is about 200,000-250,000 miles of flying. At a flight scho
I need to replace my fuel fill hose on my 33 mk ii but the old hose really
doesn't want to come off either the fuel tank or the deck filler. Any
suggestions other than brute force? Access at the deck filler is limited
to getting one hand through a deck plate opening.
Also, I would like to repla
I often find that I have to slice the hose axially and then peal it open in
order to get hoses off. Of course if you want to save the hose this may
not be a good option. In that case I would try a heat gun or hair dryer
and channel locks. Assuming it is diesel you shouldn't have any problems

I’m not sure about a boat engine, because marine service is generally more
subject to problems from bad fuel, overheating, filters that don’t get changed
regularly, long periods of none use, being operated too cold or at too low an
RPM (resulting in carbon buildup) and so on.
