rebuild

I took the original starter motor from my M25 to Luis, who came recommended by a gold-plater yacht yard in Marina del Rey. JB Auto 10967 Venice Blvd LA 90034 310 839 8685 He took it apart, greased it, and ground the bendix fair while I watched. Cash deal. Reinstalled, the motor cranked...

I am a finish carpenter in Seattle and a good friend of mine purchased an Ericson 35 sans head (removed for racing). He has asked me to look into replacing the works and I am looking to you all for some direction! Seattle has no shortage of marine stores so individual parts should be easy to...

Here is an option for repairing your masthead unit. While never mentioned (to me) by the DMI repair company (the last place repairing Datamarine), there is a rebuild kit for the masthead unit. I stumbled on a web site showing all the steps to repair the unit at...

I have two opinions that leakage around one or more intake valve guides is causing the white smoke and filmy sheen coming out my exhaust and that I'll need a rebuild. While I'd like to go with Moyer, the shipping costs are hefty. There's a guy named Terry Brown in Huntington Beach who sells...

My E 27 has the old Raritan head and the open close valve top with the screw just broke off,the valve also does not stop holding tank contents from recycling through the bowl when trying to flush dry.I've seen pre 1988 Raritan pump kits at Port supply for around $80 or so but I can get a new...

Well .. I just finished the re-build of my steering and thought I might put up a post for another poor sole who might have the same fate. It started with a wet cockpit sole. Not having good access to the area I pulled the cables and the quadrant to gain a better look. As we do .. while the...

I finally assembled my completed binacle today(launch on Tuesday:egrin:) I removed the binacle and stripped it to bare metal and then had it powdercoated. I made a new plate out of starboard and also had a new guard fabricated. All wires run down through the binacle. I also had my compass...

I am considering rebuilding the A4 in my 1970 E32. It runs well enough but is still rather old. My concern is that it is rusting away on the outside, especially the starboard side. I had to take the generator off recently and the threads in the block, for the bolt that hold the generator...

How difficult is it to rebuild a ZF5M or HBW50 transmission? Is it something a reasonably mechanical person could take on?

As I mentioned in a different thread, I rebuilt an Atomic 4 (which I found fairly inexpensive, and it had freshwater cooling) and replaced the A4 that came in the boat. I should have taken more pictures along the way, but greasy hands dissuaded me from picking up the camera too often. When...

The local boat yard is replacing my cutlass bearing and has told me that the folding prop has a lot of play in it. They are saying that play may have contibuted to the demise of the bearing and that I should consider having them send the prop back to the manufacturer for a rebuild to prevent a...

Well....now that the V-Berth and Cabin Hatch are finished :) It's time to start the Companionway Hatch rebuild. Has anyone completed this project :confused: Sure would like some pics. Happy Hatches :egrin: :egrin:

Howdy folks, Finely got the paper work on boat (E-34-2 1988) here in Nicaragua just in time for the SW storms & swells and storms. Now that things have lightened up a bit it was time to start the engine and have a go at the coast. The start up went bad as the starter battery was 5 years old...

I have a 1987 E 35 Mark lll, with a Universal 25 (20 hp) with three point mounting. My Crankshaft appears to have seized during operation earlier this week. I am haveing the engine condition assessed by pros this week, and am researching options re: used or rebuilt diesel engines in the SF Bay...

I have a 1983 E28+ with a 5411 Universal diesel that I'm considering having "rebuilt". What actually gets done when an engine gets rebuilt and what might I expect the price tag to be? How does the cost of a rebuild compare to the cost of just replacing the engine with a new one? The engine...

My 71 e-32 has tiller & wheel steering. The strbrd side sheave support has broken. It is a 1/4" 6 x 10 " piece of steel that was bonded to the hull. Before it broke there was a lot of flex. My plan is to go in thru the strbrd lazzeret, cut a access hole , and then epoxy some plywood to the hull...

I posted this to the sailnet list earlier. Here it is for 'our' .ORG archives. :) Chris ------------------- Our cutless bearing was starting to wear very thin and play had increased beyond my comfort zone (which is admittedly tight), and we thus embarked on a complete clean-up of the drive...
