Peter, I don't know if there is a fuel pump on that motor. It seems like there should be if there is not. I've suspected the same things that you mentioned...
It used to happen all the time on my old Johnson 4hp. It was a fairly crude "pump", just a little diaphragm. I also had hose clamps fail on that motor....
last race was a disaster in light winds. I found schematics to help me hook up the spinnaker but a couple things aren't clear, do the blocks connect to the toe...
Yes that sounds like fuel filter or pump issue. All outboards have fuel pumps. Some are mechanical, some are electrical and some use a vaccum diaphram pump. I...
I believe my problem is fixed but I'm not sure why. I installed my other fuel tank and the problem appears to have been corrected. I can feel more gas in the...
Hi, I am interested in replacing my old cast spreader brackets and was wondering if anyone had the original angles. I am taking a stab at it in thinking they...
I put my blocks on the tow rail about half way between the aft winches and the stern. The aft winches are then used to control the guy (the sheet the pole is...

Make that about 12 degrees swept back. I have mine off and measured the angle of the end of the spreader towards the mast. I presukme you are talking og the...
I may be wrong, but I believe that the shrouds will determine the angle of the spreaders. The spreaders should bisect the angle the shoruds make as they are...
Crewing for someone on a couple of races is really the best way to learn, IMNSHO. BTW, you can also cross sheet to a cabin top winch for spinnaker trim... puts...
Mark - You are probably quite right on that angle thing. It wouldn't do to have a spreader trying to fight where the shroud wants to be. The spreader does...
You can buy fuel filters in the lawnmower section of Home Depot for very cheap. If you don't have one on your outboard already, you can add one in the line ...
We hated to see Wet Whiskers (#1002)go but other things are going on in our lives. Sold to a couple of fellows who moved her back to Bellingham Bay (where it...
Mark You are correct about that. Since the mast bends the spreader "angle" actually varies quite a bit as the shroud tension changes while sailing. gil ... ...
Spinnaker Setup- First you need to pack the spinnaker in the turtle correctly to make sure you dont twist the spinnaker when hoisting. Find the head of the...
Nice lesson Chris. On the Olson 30 ,we use Hoyt Allen opening blocks for the tweekers and always use bowline knots for jibs(Everyone carries a knife) and snap...
Only 460 boats? Not like it used to be... Titanium snap shackles can be found on eBay for about $25.00... they are well worth it. Half the weight of stainless...
We are looking for San Juan 24 owners on the Chesapeake Bay to form a one design fleet. A friend and I have restored our San Juan 24s to really nice condition...
We have hull 133 at Merrimac Shores in Hampton. But, it is NOT in race condition, (neither are the crew). But it would be nice to maybe see if we could get out...
We would like to see you out there on Wed nights. Come on out and practice. I'm training all new crew this year myself! Maybe next winter you can work on your...
