Hi Sailors,
I want to thank the many people on this site who have helped me with ideas and guidance as I get to know my 1984 E 30+. The boat is very satisfactory, fast and handles beautifully.
She is old though and takes some maintenance. We recently replaced the fixed prop with a Martec folder and the install went smoothly. I hired a diver who mounted it for $100. It works reasonably well in reverse and quite well in forward. We have not raced our nemesis yet but expect good things. We ordered the prop directly from Martec in Long Beach, CA and got good service.
Our Raw water pump started leaking and local sources were charging $380 for a replacement for the Sherwood pump on our Universal M18. We found an Oberdorf pump that was an alternate original equipment item from www.marinepartssource.com. Ask for their web site price. Ours was $235 delivered.
Now my fuel guage quite working. I found a red wire disconnected from the back of the guage but after reattaching it the guage still lays there dead. It bounces a little when the ignition is turned on so it may be the sender.
Does anyone know about to test the sending unit in the fuel tank?
Fair winds,
Vern
