Engine and Drive Train / Re: Volvo Penta 2003. my engine may be shot. I'm not sure what to do. BUMMER
« on: April 13, 2017, 10:56:58 PM »
When I got my boat 4 years ago it had 1955 hours on the motor. The hour timer was broke 3 years later I replaced it. I now have another 300 on it not counting the three years when it was broke. Change oil and filter regularly and minor fixes and she runs like a charm. So the question is how many hours should she last? Don't want to be 3 or 4 hundred miles away and she give up the goat. Still fixing the water pump and other stuff but she runs good...

« on: April 12, 2017, 04:26:11 PM »
Just received a new in the box Johnson Pump 10-35157-3 (F35B-9) for my MD11C. Also an raw water pump seal kit (needed the o-ring) for $153.56 that's including shipping. From ASAP Supplies Inc. in the UK. Found them online, just wanted to spread the word. Thought it was a good deal. Can't get pictures off the phone just yet will send them later. Sail-on DICK

When Matthew is over I will go take some pictures to show how mine is rigged. I run a sock and didn't add any extra cleats.

Ed, I plan to make this trip in the near future. Can't wait to read your blog. I live in Myrtle Beach, SC. If you need anything while going by here please don't hesitate to ask. Anchorage, dockage, supplies, tools, ect. don't hesitate.
