Engine and Drive Train / Re: MD11 Fresh Water Pump Repair

« on: October 27, 2020, 07:54:15 AM »

Quote from Volvo:

COOLING SYSTEM
The engine is cooled by sea water. The cooling system has a sea water pump and a
water distribution housing with a thermostat,
The sea water pump has an impeller made of neoprene rubber, which is driven via a
rubber flange from the camshaft.
The thermostat in the water distribution housing regulates the water flow, so that
water is always flowing in the exhaust manifold and out in the exhaust elbow,
regardless of whether the engine is cold or hot.

The larger pump is referred to as the "Circulation Pump" and the smaller pump seems to be referred to by many names: seawater, raw water, or impeller pump. Attached is an image of the MD11C from Volvo Online, where I have highlighted what I believe to be the fresh water "Circulation Pump" on the front of the engine in yellow, and the "Seawater Pump" on the rear of the engine in blue.

Of course I would check the serial number plate as recommended.  But here is what I have found from Pearson Yachts specs:

23HP 2-cylinder Volvo MD 11C Diesel Engine and 1.91:1 reduction gear in V-drive
-- OR --
30HP 4-cylinder Unversal Atomic 4 Gasoline Engine and 2:1 reduction gear in V-drive

It would be great to see a photo of your stern modification if you could attach one - it sounds like a worthy project.

Approx 225 Pearson 424's were built. The sailboat table on this site lists the number of hulls that were built on each model under the production column (if known).

P33 / New Owner looking for P33-2 Owners Manual

« on: March 27, 2020, 10:42:27 AM »

Here is a Q&A from a new Pearson 33-2 owner:

Q:
Hi We just bought the 1986 33' Pearson Sailboat but the previous owner didn't have the manual/factory literature for it. Looking all over internet and unable to locate a copy of it. It needs some work and the manufacturer's literature would help us out tremendously. Please any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time-Ann


A:

Hi Ann,

Congratulations and welcome to the Pearson owners community!  From my experience as a Pearson owner and web-developer there are only a handful of the many Pearson models that have copies of owners manuals on the web - a result of generous owners sharing digital copies/scans. With that said I have been unable to find a digital copy for the P33.

The Pearson manuals tend to have similar content - so if you find a manual of a similar model/generation (such as the 31-2) you might be able to find some information useful.

Here are some references that may help:
1.  The Pearson 33-2 Brochure/Marketing: https://www.pearsonyachts.org/models/pearson-33-2.html
2.  Pearson 33 Systems and Operating Procedures: http://islandnet.com/~vanweb/fweb3/pdf/SOP-Part3-Pearson.pdf
3.  Pearson 31-2 owners manual: https://www.pearsonyachts.org/models/p31-2/docs/pearson-31-2-owners-manual.pdf

For item #2 there is a charter business "fairwinds" in Canada that mentions a P33 owners manual and has included parts of it in their operating procedures. Since they run a business they may be willing to make you a copy of the manual. (perhaps for a nominal fee?) If you do obtain a copy of the manual please consider sharing it with us and we will post it on PearsonYachts.org.
