On my 323 the freshwater pump diphragm is leaking. Did it come with a certain brand and size, can you replace the diphragm?

Engine and Drive Train / new motor
« on: June 20, 2024, 11:30:58 AM »
I am looking at a Bata 25 to put in the 323. I have found a place in Indonesia. Its name is (Marine Power Engine). He is selling the new motor for $3,200.00 shipping $435.00. That is close to 7,000.00 less than the places in america. Is this a scam or has any one purchased from this company?

For Sale and Wanted / Prop
« on: June 16, 2023, 10:17:10 AM »
Looking for a 3 blade prop for my Pearson 323. It has an 1 1/8" shaft and Volvo MD11 diesel I am not sure of the size or pitch it should be. I believe it should be left hand. Used good shape or new.
Thanks, Dick I am tired of not being able to back up...

It looks better in person. I love it, you have to get one. I think I am going to paint the background the same color of my hull (Dark blue). I will let you know how it turns out. Painted today...

If I wanted to post a short video of sailing, how do I go about it. Every time I try to do it the whole post goes away. I even tried to shorten the video but no help.

P40 / Pearson 40
« on: August 16, 2018, 06:26:43 PM »
I was looking and thinking about a Pearson 40 with a flush deck. What are your thoughts about this vessel. At the price I have seen I might just be dreaming. It look's fast just sitting at the dock.

Standing & Running Rigging and Fitting/Tuning / Boom Vang
« on: May 01, 2018, 09:55:00 PM »
Just got a killer deal on a Boom Vang. Want to know what type of attachment points should I get? Like the boom should I just get a one bolt boom bail and what size? Also the mast, should I get something that will move to both sides or a mast hound. It is a soft Vang. Don't want to spend a lot but would like something descent, is that possible? I will be installing this myself. Thank You for the input. Dick
