Further woes - removing an engine via companionway and boom
Ex SanFran replied to aardvarkash10's topic in TechTalk
My thoughts are with you. Month or so back I lost oil pressure dramatically and ended up siphoning around 4 litres of oil out of the Engine tray.... after I had added more. Luckily found that the external oil supply line to the cylinder head had cracked, so was an easy fix in the end, but had envisioned pulling the motor out. Good luck to you -
Good to know. Thanks all
-
Cheers for that. New knowledge.

Have to remove it to replace an oil feed line to upper cylinder. I'm thinking Just a couple of bolts, unless anyone can wise me up. Older buhk 20.

Thanks for the reply. So it's nothing to do with making it last longer, or make it operate better then...

Seen discussion on this thread before, but i have a question. I will have to replace the exhaust port, out of the rear if the manifold, header??? The bit where the raw water joins the exhaust pipe. We replaced it with stainless steel one about 8 years ago, so not too unhappy with its age. I do note from pics that some wrap this with something, obviously not flammable. And possibly wire around that. What and Why?

Cost of lift out and hardstand for a 40 footer..
Ex SanFran replied to idlerboat's topic in MarineTalk
BBYC is members only. And not year round. Hard stand has to be cleared through summer. Great price though. -
Contact my brother, Ross. He has one vacant currently. 0212598463

Don't be disparaged. I persevered and, fingers crossed have been pumped up for last 6 weeks. Ready to throw it all away after the first several attempts. I hope I'm not tempting fate 😁

Will do. Apparently he made some fine boats in his sober moments. I know. I got one.

Might have got my wires crossed somewhere i think😂

Your coming out at Bucks? Graingers Pt hardstand? I'm on the haul out team there so likely to see you sometime. If thats right do you have a date to come out yet?

Could be interested in the foils if you changing up.

I may be after parts for a furler b. Foils specifically. If anyone has any, or has contacts, appreciate a point in the right direction.

Cheers. Yep, three of us got her mast out and tidied up. I've just been in touch with John Bennet at Sparloft. Hope to see him tomorrow but still looking at all options, thanks.

Dismasted a few weeks ago. Looking for a section (full replacement of 13.7m, or partial part to scarf in) of what I'm told is 5 and 1/2 Barverstock mast which is no longer manufactured. Has anyone had experience in repairs of Mast? Awaiting on insurance but if they accept will only go to partially fund repair/replace.
-
Will do, cheers

Leakingvalve. It's on older Force4 tender (who are no longer in business). Are the valves propritory or generic between brands? Are the rubber valve seats (being a 30mm washer) which I've removed, able to be replaced? If so, who stocks them? Cheers
-
I've gone through a few different tubes of glue. Don't cheapen out and only use one for pvc or hyperlon, whichever your tender is made from.
