Re: Stus-List Deal on starter from Mastry

On my Universal, it was the solenoid; took dozens of button pushes.  Then it did it again a year later, only not nearly as bad.  The mechanic rewired so the starter button and glow plugs were no longer interconnected.  The voltage drop caused by the glow plug was the culprit apparently.  Now I l

Francois gave you some good things to look at. My first shot would be a dirty start button/switch. I'd try jumping across the back of the switch. As for starters, boat on my pier had a Volvo diesel. Starter went bad. Volvo starter was north of $700. Lo and behold, it uses the same starter as a

Ouch! 1000 Bucks is steep. The Kubota alternative sounds a lot better. I'm not much of a believer in the bigger wire. If it was big enough when designed 30 + years ago, it's still big enough. Perhaps a bigger wire would bandaid the symptom for a while. It can be any number of things: -The switch

I have to push the starter button several times before the starter turns the engine over. I thought it was the starter button. I'd better check that out before I get into trouble, and cant start the engine in an emergency. Speaking of an emergency, after finishing a race, yesterday, we dropped t

Mastry (www.mastry.com) does it again! I just replaced the starter on Take Five this weekend and got a sweet deal on a re-man Hitachi unit: US $128.44 + shipping. Mastry's the best! They always have the best price, they even beat eBay and the shipping is super fast. That's for a real deal Yanmar /

Stus-List Perko sea strainer failed - almost lost my boat!

I just replaced mine about 5 months ago. I luckily ran into an NOS one for half price at the marina swap meet about 2 years ago. I finally put it in this year when we re-did my fuel system. Mine had not actually failed, it was just a bit leaky, weeping some when underway. I figured it couldn't h

Yikes. Is it a Perko like this one? http://www.perko.com/images/catalog/product/xl/Fig%200493%20(Top%20On).jpg I'm having a hard time visualizing how a single bolt failure could result in a hole big enough to outpace a 800 gph pump. Sounds like one of the wing nut bolts broke, but the other one w

Touche' has one of the Perkos on the engine cooling. However, the strainer on the air conditioner is a Groco. Like this: https://www.groco.net/products/raw-water-strainers/basket-strainer/arg-series Except it has a bronze cap. I'm tempted to replace the Perko with a Groco. I don't like the pl

Yesterday as we were sailing back to the dock one of my crew yelled 'there's a lot of water down here'. I opened the companionway steps and saw water coming out of the top of the sea strainer as the water was reaching the top of it. I closed the seacock and we manned the manual pump. Once the wa
