service

Can anyone advise what kind of service/frequency the heat exchanger requires in a universal 5416 16 hp freshwater cooled diesel engine. The engine is working fine, not overheating or causing any problems, but I want to ensure it keeps working. Our heat exchanger was leaking, so we replaced...

We had the engine on Senta "serviced" back in April or so. The mechanic was an idiot, and not very bright either, so we didn't feel we knew the condition of the engine even after having it serviced. This last week we had a mechanic recommended by the rigger spend some quality time in...

After sitting for about 2 years with diesel fuel biocide and additives, I hired a diesel mechanic for preventive maintenance which included: Adjust the valves, check the injectors and generally inspect the motor. Afterwards, the motor in neutral spins to 2,900 rpm but only 2,200 under load...

I believe it might be time to service parts of my Jabsco head. It appears there are two different service kits, pre-1997 and later. How can I tell if I have a pre- or post 1997 Jabsco head? :confused:

For those of you with a Yanmar YSM 8 or 12 Diesel I found a link online to the service and maintenance manual. http://www.swinranger.co.uk/yanmar.htm If someone can tell me how to upload this I am more than happy to create .pdf's to add to the "specs and documentation" section on this...

Hello All, I removed the traveler on my E38 and sent it to Garhauer, IIRC, 9.5 weeks ago to have them make me a new one. The original lead time quoted to me should have had the traveler back in my hand the first week of April. Since that date has come and gone I have repeatedly been told that...

i'm considering this as a means of keeping the boat vs selling it because now my wife and i are expecting a baby due next spring and i expect we won't have a lot of time for sailing. it already is hard to justify the monthly expenses sometimes because we only use it a few times a month, when the...

This past weekend our 6 hp Mercury started acting as if the impeller might be shot. After half an hour I concluded that it was just something blocking the water intake, but in the process I realized that I really wanted to have a spare impeller and a manual that would show more than "have your...

I checked on the boat today and found that the service light was flickering as opposed to being on steady. Nothing felt warm and although it flickered less if I turned everything off it still flickered. Items plugged into the outlets seem to work fine as well as the battery charger Does...

Hello Folks, I am looking for a source for a Universal M25 Service Manual. I have the Owners Manual but it is a little sparce on details. I did a search on this site but nothing obvious popped up. Would prefere somewhere to download a file but any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks -...

I am having some engine issues and would like to buy the Service Manual (and Parts manual?). I found two sources online and one says the service manual has a "photocopy quality, with some broken lines, etc." I have a couple of questions on this: 1) if you've found a good quality service...

From a preventative maintenance point of view I really should rebed the chain plates/U-bolts on my 1989 E-38. But frankly I haven't a clue as to how to begin. There are no screws on the plates themselves. I suppose I am supposed to loosen the tie rods in the cabin, but before I go taking...
