No such problems with the Jabsco Quiet Flush unit I installed. Water use is minimal, no splashing and is reasonable quite. The issue on tank location on my...
This could be very effective for backing up under sail. Kevin _____ From: Catalina380@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Catalina380@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Bob...
I have notice that there are times when starting my Westebeke engine on my C380 that there is hesitation in activating the voltmeter, Tach, and other guages...
Assuming you have the standard alternator, the voltage regulator is on the back of the alternator, a small black box. That said, the alternator drives the...
Correction - meant to say the alternator output drives the tachometer. Jim ... From: Jim Norman To: Catalina380@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 01,...
Jeff, I believe all 387s have the holding tank in the same location (I have a friend with a 30s hull number that is identical to mine) - a change from the...
Hi Rob, Bob is correct, the main reason for the rigid vangs on newer mast furlers is to help position the sail to furl with even tension along the foot and...
Jim, Thanks for the info. The problem does not seem to be with loose connections. If that were the case, the loss of tachometer and voltage read out on the...
Bill I suspect that you have an external regulator somewhere. I don't think the standard Westerbeke alternator with an internal regulator will put out a...
Bill, Paul may be right, maybe you do have an external regulator. I have also done as Paul and have a Balmar alternator and external regulator. When I start...

Bob-- That is a new one! Having some difficulty imagining how a "loose-luffed" sail works upwind, but apparently the old clipper ships were [barely?] able to...
Bob, It looks like a CM440; look at the offset egress from the cockpit to the swim platform and the high cabin top. I responded to Latitude 38's request for...
Hi Dale, Thanks for the info. Do you have a Raritan? Maybe another brand of electric is the way to go. This thing probably wakes up neighboring boats at night....
Jeff, I hope you and everyone else who reads this had a great Labor Day. I was able to check my temp gauge & tach this weekend and here's the results: ...
Thanks Paul and Jim for your information and the picture. I'll be back on the boat next week and will look more closely at my set up. Is it easy and practical...
Hi everyone, On our 380 the main sheet comes to either side of the companion way, underneath the spray hood (at least, that is what we need here sometime!). ...
There is a Mainsheet article, I believe from 2004 or 2005 from Warren, based on both Jos de Sonneville and I changing our Westerbeke alternators to be...
Thanks to all for the education. The design of the in-mast furling system on our boat was very important to me. We're 0-34 for jams and I'll bet the vang...
Group, The September deadline is fast approaching for articles for the next Mainsheet issue. If you have anything about you and your C380,390, 387 that you...

Russ, The gun makes it very easy to scan the entire engine looking for the highest temp. I found 180 degrees at the bottom of the block / oil pan area which ...

For those of us out there with this engine, which I beleive is only about the last 100 or so C387's what is cruising RPM? what is max RPMs...I can only get...
Warren, Yes, there still is a stipend offered for any article written for the Mainsheet. Earle had a formula and Bob now has it. I think it is an annual type...
Russ, I have hull number 74 . Same engine we can get 3500 cruise at 2700 and the temp is a bit above 180 degrees. I have the standard 3 blade. If I remember...
