Thank You . We love her. Here are few more pics.

Hull #27 here in California.

So the latest on the noise: I had the injector pump and all 3 injectors checked and rebuilt. Reinstalled everything leaving the same shims for the pump along with new insulators and packing for the injectors. Installed two new fuel filters. Bleed the system. She fired right up. The noise is...

I inspected the springs and they look good. Valve guide could be an issue, but with less than 900 hours on the engine I would not expect a failure? The engine was like this when I bought the boat. PO said it was like that when he bought it in 2020 and was told it was just a noisy Yanmar. He...

@GregJ Engine runs good outside the nosie....

Alright everyone… here is the current update. Just returned from 3 days on the boat. Got the rebuilt Injector Pump installed along with the cleaned and rebuilt Injectors. I did not mess with the sims under the pump so the timing should be the same as when I took it all apart. I installed new...

All good trains of thought. My trip down next weekend I plan to do a super inspection of the springs, push rods and rocker arms. Also taking a bore camera and try to get a look at the valve seats. The injectors and Injector Pump have been sent to a fuel shop in Southern California and checked...

I have DeWalt's original version which was AC and Battery. That was back when DeWalt was having battery issues and I made the switch to Makita, but still use the DeWalt vac on AC. Works "OK", but nice to have the small platform and not a full size shop vac.

Hey All- Next time we head down to our boat in So Cal (Ericson 36c), I need to adjust (tighten) the Packing Gland. I wanted to grab a couple Packing Nut Wrenches before I go down, but did not measure them when we were down last. Does anyone know the size of the two nuts? 2" and 1 7/8"...

Hello All- This thread has been a good read for me. We are currently looking at a 28-200 in So Cal. The diver on the boat has recently reported a smile on the keel. So we know that if we move forward with the purchase, we'll haul out right away and have it dropped and rebedded. That is were...
