Just a note for all that have Volvo Penta Engines. I replace my Impeller and Thermostat every year and have found  that Key Parts in the UK offers a great site to search for parts. the service and shipping are excellent. Here is the link.

Cruising / Re: Catalina Island 2016

Catalina is still a really cool place. We sail out of San Pedro and the wind is very predictable. Tons of whales this time of the year. I lived in Newport Beach in the 60's.  It changed for the worse but Catalina is probably pretty close to what you remember. I will send more pictures this summer. Fair winds

I talked to him in 2012. He can answer all your question about repowering the 323.

Try this guys. I had mine done a couple of years ago. They were great. I think they have a 20% discount going in the fall. Good luck
