    A4 stuff

    Fuel petrie dish... Having just replaced my racor filter/water seperator on my trusty A4 , I found the typical rancid goo in the water drop chamber, coating the lower dashpot, that I've found in previous diesel systems.I too, thought that there was little in the way of flora in a typical GAS...

    A4 stuff

    I know these arn't cheap but.... After rebuilding my old carb (that had stuck floats after a long winter) and increasing the run time to an hour or more, I still had poor idle and the sudden engine stoppage that was unexplained. I sprung for a new carb,as well as new racor and finishing...

    A4 Electronic ignition conversion

    I'm a Moyer Marine Electronic convert....but The electronic kit to convert your old wobbly spindled distributer will work much better in a new (rebuilt) Moyer distributer!

    rubrail

    I've replace the rubrail on my '76 32-2 with..... Once again, Catalina Direct grey VINYL rubrail fits perfectly. When I last researched RUBBER rail replacements, they were 3 bucks/', came in black or white, had no UV protection and cost an arm to ship. The Cat Direct grey looks very good on the...

    Well, gee - no wonder they leak

    The Catalina direct product is an exact fit for early Ericsons.... Having rebuilt all my '76 32-2 ports last winter with the cat direct glazing vinyl, I can attest to the proper fit and seal. Sometimes we just get lucky. The internal decorative trim fits as well as the glass seal. Be sure to...

    And still more about prop walk 1974 E32-2

    50% reduction in reverse prop walk with.... the Indigo fixed 3 blade I installed late last year. $325, and lovin' it. Same results on friends Newport 27. Both outstanding. My 2 blade max prop was worse than bad. A4 powered I'll admit, but the Indigo has been my salvation. I can run 5 kts at...

    Prop Problems

    and so it goes.$.$.$ Don't be amazed if the yard notices that your strut is bent too. After 35 years, mine was/is a bit outa wack.The realignment of the old A4 helped, but did not restore 'perfect' output shaft/strut-bearing configuration. I'll be watchin' that cutlass bearing very closely for...
