2 i bought from a lady who changed out their W58 a year ago in PR. 2 came with the boat.
I gotta tell ya. It’s worth it to have on board at any price. Make sure you get spare copper washers that go with them – 3 for each injector 2 small ones and one large one.
Nothing more out of your control and helpless to be in a 3rd world country and cant get the engine running. and the volts on the boat are getting dim. Was down to 11.9 and the freezer chocked full of food for the next 800 mile leg to St Martin.
They are right, people eat everywhere, spend your money on spare parts. Use your storage for spare parts.— On Tue, 11/10/09, Robert Fine <> wrote:

I was not dissing the guy. I hope I am even around at 80, let alone have the experiences he’s I had. I enjoy reading his books and his writing style. I know a lot of people at the show who listened to his seminar were disappointed because of his off topic ramblings and most of the time he was difficult to understand.

I was in Fawcetts in Annapolis on Saturday during the boat show buying some parts and there was this really really old guy sitting at a desk piled with books. The desk looked like something from a one room school house. I peeked at the show badge he was wearing and it turned out to be Don Street. He was mumbling to himself…. I started up a conversation with him and we spoke for about 10 minutes. I am not sure I understood much of what he said I am sorry to say. I would have loved to have gained some insight from him.
I did however walk away with, well I had to pay for it, an autographed copy his his book – Anguilla to Dominica so I guess it was kinda neat.

Still in Annapolis, had to wait for some packages, besides the wheather sucks here so I got a morring for a few days to give the anchor a rest. Supposed to be flurries on Sunday. Guess I am still too far north. Will leave for Norfolk on Monday with a stop in Solomans…

I am just getting back to reading my mail. I missed this entire discussion. I am glad Paul L is keeping up with it…. crew for the passage from Va to Bermuda on or about November 1st.
That being said……It seems like the time that everyone plans to go ie the 1500 leaves about the same time and goes pretty much close to Bermuda before heading South.
BTW, John, your friend Dick was here helping me with a SSB problem which turned out to be a bad tuner. I over nighted a new AT140 (replacing my SC230) and we’re back on track (but poorer for sure) As soon as he got on the boat he said ” this is a Pearson isn;t it?” He said he sailed to Bermuda with a guy by the name of Jofn Stevenson and asked if I knew you.
He wanted me to tell you he a new apartment in his new house for you…..
Nice guy, very knolwledgeable and very helpful.

no puck, no backing plate. Just two worn pins.
I’ll have to see what I can find when the new puck arrive.
Unfortunately, I am in Annapolis on my way to Norfolk this week.

Ah… I am missing a puck on side then. So, the pucks will fit in stock thickness then. Take the two halves apart and it should work. Right?

Thanks Rich,
Looks like thre are pins on one side and a pad on the other. The thickness of the new pad will have to be reduced to 3/8 in order to fit. Not sure how I am going to do that here….
thanks

I take that back, I think. I removed the unit this morning, cleaned it all up and took it apart. Upon further inspection there may never have been a brake pad in there….. well, maybe in the beginning. It has to have 2 – 1/4 steel dowel pins that are pused in via a cam that is acturated by a hydralic cyclinder.. They (the pins) may be worn though. I can’t believe someone would design something that would have two steel pins rubbing on the steel ‘disk” to keep the prop from turning. If there was a “pad” in it, it would have had to be a pretty thin pad, considering the opening it has to go in.

There is picture of where I moved my winch. Further inboard then Tor’s. No story. I routed the mainsheet through the riser for the traveler. Had to move the deck mounted cheek block also. Easy to get at, as it’s right over the galley cabinet . Had to make up a teak riser for the winch to sit on to get a fair lead.

Thanks
