I've used one of these for the last 10 years or so. Sucks the oil up through the dipstick tube when the oil is still hot. https://ca.binnacle.com/p3291/Pela-6000-Oil-Extractor-6-Litre/product_info.html Works well, no issues. Ken H. On Fri, 16 Oct 2020 at 17:16, dwight veinot wrote: > I got t

Have used the 2 liter version of this many years on our Yanmar 3GM. Works fine. Best if oil is worm. Biggest issue is getting tube to aft corner of pan so get out all the oil as engine is tilted aft. John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: Ken Heaton [mailto:ke

Agree it pays to check oil level regularly. Another cause for oil increasing is mechanical fuel pump diaphragm leaking diesel into the oil. (Got the t shirt) apparently is not an uncommon issue with Yanmars John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: Della Barba, Jo

When you pull the dipstip, put a single full drop on a paper towel or clean white rag. If that drop developers a halo then you may have a diesel in your oil. In the states off-road diesel is dyed red - in that case look for the halo to be red-ish. Smell the rag. Burnt smell is bad, diesel fuel

Stus-List Re: Touche' hurricane repair progress

A gorgeous red Dennis. I recently had a non serious talk with my boatyard owner about painting Briar Patch red. But one of my concerns is the potential scuffing caused by a sole fender. The floating docks in my marina do not provide the ability to hold the boat away from the finger pier. If there i

Stus-List Fender covers - yes or no?

Ed, Yes. Touche' had the same situation in Pensacola. Floating pier, shared slip, no piling between the boats. I used two "hole through the middle" fenders hung vertically. No issues. However, it brings up a possible discussion - whether to use fender covers or not. The Admiral didn't like t

Stus-List Winter Charter Recommendation?

Hi all, I am looking for a recommendation for a bare boat charter some place warm this winter. We are in Oregon, so we would prefer a west coast spot if possible. It would be my young family and a friend's young family, i.e. four kids under 5 years old. I prefer a mono hull in the 45 foot range. A

For Alera the admiral made a set of cloth covers for our vertical fenders. Very similar to the ones Taylor makes. No scratches on the awlgrip. Typoed from my iPhone Tom Buscaglia Alera 1990 C&C 37+/40 Vashon Island WA O 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660 Skype - thombusc > On Oct 17, 2020, at 10:1

I’m just trying to sell a few extra sails and don’t want to get into a war on sail design or what’s right for someone’s boat. But for the record, In my area Phrf is only concerned with the spin’s total sail area, not luff length. Check with your local rating representative if you have concern
