Re: Yanmar 3gm30f and Kazaki tranny

I bought a new Kanzaki transmission and it’s installed - see if it works tomorrow
Cost was very low and Lucky to find it I believe — 2 hours for install time 8-)
Update - tranny worked perfectly. I have the old one if anyone wants one - just needs gear lapping…

Re: Marelon Valve Replacement

Can you tell where the valve is leaking? Forespar is easy to work with - the valve has numbers on the side and you can call forespar and get a replacement kit - the handle lever, black stack with 4 bolts/screws. Pretty easy and inexpensive fix. Basically the replacement kit is everything in pic two ...

Re: How to delete PMs

Hi Mike - have had the same concern- I tried
* goto private messages
* select rules, etc….
* select “delete oldest post first”

My PM shows full too but when I selected that option I can still get PM’s- Don’t know however. :twisted:

Re: Yanmar 3gm30f and Kazaki tranny

Thanks. I’m going back for a sail and motor run Monday. Search so far shows (1) cheapest - buy a shim kit for the gear lever on the tranny ($5!), (2) pull the cone gear out and refinish it or (3) new tranny $$$ - we’ll see and may have been me rushing things this week.

Re: Yanmar 3gm30f and Kazaki tranny

Transmission - Kazaki - is mechanical - the dip stick for the transmission has a top off mark quite near the bottom - always difficult for me to see whether the oil is at the mark or above it - especially with new oil. I couldn’t really tell so I added a bit more. Standing at the binnicle, with the ...

Re: Alternative to an Edson Wheel Cover???

All good ideas here. I also used boat leather.Com for the F 35 P. 4 yrs ago. Maybe similar price to defender but kit had foam pad too. No issues so far
