  As I get older, I think more and more of
replacing my primaries with electric winches.


  With the cost of about $6000 each for my
44,  I wonder if it is possible to 


  find used winches salvaged from a storm
damaged boat. Of course I also worry about if doing this
would just be asking for trouble. 


  I will appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Bill,

Thx for the input. So I take it as the reverse and forward are at two ends
of the travel? I assume there should be no reason that when I move the
lever to the end of the travel the gear still doesn’t engage?( unless I
totally destroyed it, which I don’t believe I did anything that can cause
that)

 Racor themselves told me to do this once and I had to point out it was
 a massive safety issue and violated both ABYC and CFRs on a boat.
 My boat is gas powered, an ounce an hour leak could blow the boat up.
 Diesel seeping out will probably just make a smelly mess.

 Your filter now is essentially a water trap. The element will last
 forever.

 Thanks, Joe.



 My mechanic became a diesel expert working on diesel engines in
 Vietnam.  I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s doing.  The concern you raise
 in point 2, below, is likely why he installed an in-line filter before the
 electric pump.

 Putting the pump first and running fuel under pressure can solve some
 problems. The Racor does not care if fuel gets pushed in one end or pulled
 out the other end.

 Why it is a bad idea:

1. The filters are designed for vacuum side installation for
safety. A leak will tend to suck air in and make the engine quit. A leak
under pressure can seep or spray fuel and still leave enough to run the
engine. This is really bad when the fuel is gasoline and not great for
diesel.
2. The pump is now the first line of defense. Dirt/sand/algae/etc.
can now clog the pump up and it is a lot harder to unclog a pump than a
filter!

I replaced all my straight 24-in stanchions with 30-in tapered stanchions
from garhaur in 2005. as far as I am concerned, those 24 stanchions are
nothing but a tripping hazard. Unfortunately, I think they've doubled their
prices since then.

[Bill Coleman]

Yes, once when I repowered, it did not go into reverse all the way. I
discovered that the forward reverse lever was just on the verge of popping
/ not popping into gear. In other words, right on the edge of its throw.
This was resolved by shortening the throw, in other words moving the Morse
connector closer to the center of the axis. Usually there are different
holes you can put the clevis onto to make it a longer or shorter throw
period if there aren't, then drill a new one in . If this is your problem
of course.

Stus-List Re: Universal diesel

[General Gao]

So I got my boat back to the marina and the engine worked fine after
replacing the filters...I will be working on the hoses later before the
next season.

However just as I arrived at the marina, another "symptom" showed up. after
I docked my boat, the marina wanted to move the boat to another spot. One
of the staff, actually the mechanic who fixed my filters, put the lever
into reverse, however the gear box would not get into reverse! forward
seemed to be fine though. I was using the reverse just two minutes ago
without issue, how would it suddenly not go into reverse?

Yesterday I checked the connection between the lever and the transmission,
which I believe with Universal it is Hurth? The cable seemed to be moving
the input shaft.

Anyone have had an experience like this?
