I wanted to mention for the FYI record I have replaced my syntron with a lasdrop (lip seal design vs face seal). Fit in the tight space on the Mull 30, simple as dirt, fairly inexpensive and seems to be pretty good at keeping the water out. No leaks, no drips. The guys at Lasdrop are helpful and a h...

My PM inbox is beyond full. I have ticked all the message boxes and attempted to delete by selecting "delete" checked and hitting the go button at the bottom but they won't go.

Help.

The top hat issue has been discussed a number of times here and there have been very good suggestions how to fix incuding the epoxy or rubber shims.

Next time I have the mast out I am going to get serious about this problem.

Famous last words.

As always, YMMV, however, on my boat with the traditional wedge, there is usually a gap where the two ends come together. My mast get pulled every year for inside storage, and the yard just uses a very large screwdriver where they insert it into the gap and then start prying up one of the ends -- a...

Late to thread but my wedge, which I think is spartite, just pops out when I pull the mast. Mind you it takes a bit of prodding from below decks. It is getting old (age of boat as far as I know) but works fine. I have always thought I would just build a small mold based upon existing and pour the da...

I have an F40/40 that I was having mast wedge issues with. I finally called Paul Dennis at Warren River Boat Works who used to build Freedoms and works a lot on them still. He said he gave up on the mast wedge years ago and moved to using spar tight. He said the mast wedge was too difficult to get ...

Wow, Three Freedom 30s (one may be a 28) at Berkeley Marine Center! That's a first time I've seen so many 30s in one place. There was a fourth Freedom there but she was a larger boat. Two of the 30s were out of the water, one at the dock. I am one of the two on the hard. The other boat on jacks is b...

Well that was easy.

Hi, You should able to get both the manual and parts catalog here on J109.org https://j109.org/docs/Yanmar_3GM30F3.pdf https://j109.org/docs/Yanmar-3GM30-parts-catalog.pdf I have the hardcopies of the manuals but these are sweet! Thanks for posting the links. I am going to try to find the 2gmf part...

My 2gm20 manual is on the boat but I think it covers 3gm20 as well. I can confirm that. If so I could take it to Kinkos and copy it for you. Not sure how much that would cost these days but I would do it if you ran out of other options. I think the whole service manual is about 200 double sided page...
