    Universal 18 electric lift pump - E28+ - 1981

    Does anyone know the specs for the electric fuel lift pump option for the Universal 18? I would like to have a spare pump (the current looks original) on hand and am not sure if any "generic" pump would work or if there are specific pressure/flow requirements.

    Electric Lift Pump for 5432

    So I'm thinking I want to carry a spare electric fuel pump for my New England cruise but I can justify spending $160-$260 for a direct replacement Facet pump. Knock on wood the original pump seems to be holding up just fine but its one of those things that if it goes I will be engineless. Short...

    35-II tall rig - Topping Lift Measurment

    Can anyone out there save me the trouble of going to the boat for a measurement? I'm going to replace the topping lift and wondering what the measurement would be. I'll take an educated guess from anyone and build in a few feet for error. ;) How long (and how thick) a line would I need for...

    Well here is one I’m happy with. And the whole project only cost me $25. With 86 of the 109 things on my E32-3 to do list Done I am getting to many of what I call “Optional Upgrades”. The fun stuff. Now we found the Dinette table awkward to lower and raise which we do a lot when cruising. So I...

    Spinnaker Topping Lift Opinions

    My spinnaker rig has this type of block attached to the mast with a strap eye: To avoid chafe, I've determined that the best way to "store" the block is to run a messenger line in place of the topping lift to avoid UV damage and prevent the block from banging around up there. Is this the...

    E35-III mast lift point

    Can ayone tell me the point along the mast to lift it out of the boat? I would like to keep it a little bottom heavy so as to keep it upright once clearing the partner. My YC just installed a nice, new jib boom rig for stepping and unstepping masts. This will be a major money saver as I can...

    Fuel lift pump Vs Primary fuel filter height

    I recently had a problem getting all of the air out of the fuel system :boohoo: for the engine to run reliably after cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the filters. It would run for a while and then stall out after a power drop. When I got a mechanic to look at it, he turned the lift pump on...

    E-25 Topping Lift

    Hello all: My E-25 has the topping lift connecting to the split backstay. This can be pretty inconvienent at times especially if needing to drop the mainsail in preparation for a storm. Are any of you using a different setup? If so how do you like it and what was the difficulty/cost of...
