Engine and Drive Train / Is there a special type of diesel fuel for the Volvo MD11c engine?

« Last post by diamondgirlsails on Today at 07:53:38 AM »

I just purchased a Pearson 323 with a Volvo MD11c engine.  The tank is about 1/3 full and I'm starting to think about getting fuel.  I'm pondering if the diesel sold at gas stations will work.  Please kindly advise.  Thank you!

P37 / Re: Windlass

« Last post by Dalliance on May 24, 2023, 05:19:38 PM »

The issue is to find a windlass that will fit; the issue is not weight and strength.  We haven’t been able to find a make/model that will fit the 37-2. We had a Pearson 36 which had a working windlass.
Thank you for your response.

Good Morning, Does anyone have a good source for motor mounts for a 1983 p303 13 HP yanmar diesel.
The engine is shacking like crazy Sometimes.
Thanks for any info.

Specs?   are you referring to weight and strength of a windlass to install, or how and the ability to install one at all? 

If your looking how to install on a Pearson, after 10 years of thinking it out, I finally did it on my 90 31-2 last summer, which can be found here:

Of course you would need a bigger windlass than the 1 I was able to use for my small boat, but maybe you can get some ideas for installing one on yours Good Luck!!!!

P37 / Windlass

« Last post by Dalliance on May 17, 2023, 10:37:51 AM »

We recently bought the Pearson 37-2 which did not come with a windlass. We have been having difficulty finding one that fits the boat’s specs. If you have one that does fit, please let me know the make and model number. Thanks!!

Plumbing and Galley Systems / Re: Deck drain/scuppers P31-2

If the Forespar parts don’t fit, you can always just grind down the Marelon flange till it does. Shouldn’t take much.

I just replaced mine with fittings in stock at west marine.  They worked perfectly.
It was $54.00 or so.

Engine and Drive Train / packing gland 323

« Last post by live2 on May 12, 2023, 11:00:50 PM »

I am a newly minted 323 owner.  I'm wondering if someone could offer input on how one reaches the packing gland for adjustment and service.  Many thanks!
