I have an extra one from an engine that drowned in salt water. Very rusty. I have it soaking in Kroil in hopes of loosening it up for disassembly. I'll search for a local service shop that will touch the pump. Not many choices in this area.

Thanks for the responses. It is the injector pump. The Kubota tractor reference is G3200 and the part is no longer listed on the Kubota site. All references I can find say that the part is not serviceable. I'm going to strip this one down and take a look.

I picked up a good candidate engine to rebuild. It's a thing I do with my grandsons. Unfortunately, the high pressure fuel pump is shot. Anybody out there have a line on one. I don't believe that they're manufactured anymore. At least I don't seem to be able to find one.

The judicious use of heat helps release Loc-Tite thread sealant. Also apply sparingly when assembling. Not much is required. Of course, I sail in fresh water and my rig comes down in the off season which means less concern about corrosion. Year round Salties have more concerns.

Yes, I did use Loc-Tite.

I used Hi-Mod fittings when replacing all of the standing rigging on my 28/2. Easy to work with and you can reuse fittings. Getting things apart is tricky but it can be done.

One that doesn't exist.

I believe that removal of the anchor well pan is the only access for the bow cleats.

On my previous 1980 28+ the shaft was offset from centerline so the shaft could be pulled with the rudder in place. On the 28/2 the rudder has to be dropped in order to remove the shaft. Unless you want to raise the engine and pull it that way. (:

Can't think of any way that this could be done in the water. On my 1987 E-28/2 there is barely enough shaft log to accommodate two clamps. When, I rebuilt the M-12 I replaced the original stuffing box, which turned out to be much longer than the original. There was not even close to the...

If you're in the market for a spare, let me know.

My late father's 93-year-old wife recently had to be moved to an assisted care living facility. She was 17 years younger than dad. She was an opera singer and always had her personal grand piano when she performed solo. Tomorrow a crew is coming to disassemble and remove it from the second...

Interesting. On my 1987, E28-2 the cockpit drains exit directly to the fittings on the bottom of the boat. No sea cocks at all. Sink drain has its own dedicated sea cock.

How many operational hours on that pump?

This item has been sold. Thanks.
