My 1976 hull# 99 has old perf papers that call it a mk I. I
have been trying to find out the difference for years. At the Mystic rendezvous
I asked Rob Ball and he didn't know said it might have been a marketing thing.

The original paperwork on Liberty says nothing about it being a MKII
so I figure it to is a MKI. The hull # is 99 so I think the break off point is
changing from double digits to triple digits. That's my story and I'm sticking
to it !! :-))

I would drill into the head until it was gone using cobalt or carbide, this
has always worked for me. Easier to do on a bench in a vise if possible. A
small drill press would be ideal.

I have a 1976 38' MKII and the aft keelbolt looked like your
picture #3 only worse the washer was actually curved as well as not sitting
flat. I eventually replaced the washer with a machined backing plate made of
stainless. I am sure they came from the factory that way.
I have a 16 part word log with pictures showing the replacement of my keel and
keel bolts. How can I send this to Stu for possible posting.

If there is oil or grease on the threads of the bolt you should
reduce the torque by aprox 10%. Torque numbers are given assuming threads are
dry. Using lube would cause an over tightened condition.
I agree I have a max prop 2 blade and reverse is just incredible it's like a

I had the same problem and it turned out to be the crossover elbow,
changed it and the problem went away. You can get a kit with all new bolts and
gaskets from oldport marine in Newport RI. (Yanmar 3gm30) I hear it is a

as well, it should fly through a survey no problem. The boat is in better shape

I use the same rigger as Petar and I must say he is top shelf. I had
the mast taken down at a marina near Fall River and He took the whole mast and
all the rigging to his shop to inspect and replace what was needed. Best money

I have a 38 MK II and the past owner let the wire on the main halyard rub on
the trailing edge of the spreader. It looked just like a crack but it was just
the material that had worn away. We had a piece welded on the back of the worn
out area. It looks a little weird so we just don't look at
The past owner of our boat would clip the main halyard to the base of the mast
and let it flop around and that is how our spreader was damaged by the wire.

I have a 38 foot Mk II with a 3gm30 engine (27 hp). We have a 2 blade
feathering max prop and at 3000 rpm we get about
6.5 to 6.75 kts. You should check what your pitch is set to and possibly
re-adjust it. It is not that hard to do.
My boat "Liberty" 38' Mk II was done in flag blue 15 years ago and now up
close it looks like crap from scratches and a few dings from the anchor. We
also have some cracking in the paint long lines of it near the bow. I have been
