Many thanks. I found the zirt and filled with new grease til the old grease started to come out. However it keeps making a horrible noise like a grinding metal noise with air hence my assumption of lack of hydraulic fluids although the lift works perfectly so this baffles me. If anyone knows why...

Hi, Does anyone know how to re-fill the hatch oil? Mine is making the noise of lacking hydraulic oil (still works) but can´t find wher to. Many thanks, Pico Pico

Hi, fuel filter checked and fine, fule pressure is also fine, my view is that it is an air intake somewhere in the carb despite taking it 3 times out for a clean, however; i have not replace any jets nor gaskets!, had the "specialist" last week but what he says does not make sense, he says that...

any help hereplease!!!! The gen set was not in use for only two weeks, when I tried to run it, it starts and then very quickly shuts down, if I keep the flap in the carb almost completly close with my finger the gen runs perfectly and smothly, as soon as I release the flap the gen shuts down...

both, the choke and the fuel solenoid sensors are working properly

yes, the hacth! I am always careful when closing it, but it is when I am not around and someone else closes it! it is a real pain!

I had a similar problem with my 340, the water came from a broken discharge hose underneath the shower unit, for some reason the hose was clamped (sandwiched) between the bathroom unit and the floor making it to crack; chech underneath the bathroom area. also remove all the seats and check for...

does anyone knows how to adjust the lift that opens the bilge latch, mine does not stop once the lacth is fully close so it comes off the latch pulling off all the screws; I checked and it stops about an inch after the the lacth is fully close. this is a pain in the neck as it keeps ripping the...

Hi Guys, I have a similar issue although the engine does not consume any oil, what it does is that after about 20 minutes running the port engine oil pressure begins to slowly come down to the lowest acceptable level despite maintaining the same RPMs while the starboard engine keeps the oil...

Hi Guys, I have read all the discussión, just one thought, have you tried switching the tachs? this will tell you straight away if the gauges are the problem or not. just a thought! :grin:

if the fluids aere ok, you need to check the drive wire that is conected to the gears, this is located at the top of the stern drive, just need to remove the cap (3 screws) some oil will come out and check the the wire is conected the the black lever, when this breaks of slips you get that...

Hi, I have a westerbeke and this weekend, I heard a high pitch noise like a sliding belt and when to check the generator, it turned to be a very light spray coming from somewhere around the pulleys as they turn, enough to begin creating a coat of salt: I could not find the source and could not...

Mine did the same and after a lot of work it was the battery, if that is the case check that generator charger is working!

fantastic! so we are on the right track! I have ordered the honeycomb planks so as soon as they arrive we will get moving with the job! I will take some pics and post them for someone else's future reference. Many thanks to all!

Thanks Guys, very much appreciated. On closer inspection this weekend; we noticed that the previous owner already drilles some holes to fill with epoxy! hence the redish resin I mentioned earlier. Anyway, I took a the fiberglass guy to look at the problem, we both feel that the best way to...

thanks to all, Rick, I would say I am of an average size, but just to be clear, it is soft but not in a way that will keep you awake at night, it is just an area that is not as hard as the rest of the deck, I would be more suspicios of water leak if this was only on one side but it is on both...

I can reach the area through the cealing lamp in the galley and check for moisture I guess the question remains what if it is all dry?

also, it does seem to be a manufacturing (weak structure) issue rather than water getting into it as both side perfom exactly the same way, it would be too much coincidence. also, if water were to get into it via the hatches; I would expect the weakness to also be all around de hatch and...

thanks to both! I pulled both hatches a few months ago and noticed some wood resin (redish and very solid!) coming out between the hatch and the fiberwork but no signs of wetness at all, having said that, I am the 3rd owner so it might have been wet in the past as , I was wondering that if the...
