Spare Parts/Manuals

Ahoy There Captain:Had a Fairymann but bet the same rules apply.
Before heading south from PEI, called the closest parts
department.....New Jersey. They said the engine/shaft coupling I
wanted must have been installed by builder. When THAT is what gave out
on the ICW in North Carolina, I delved deeper into the parts manual and
there it was! Carrying Spare Parts:Once on my sailboat, and once at
the Gov't field station I managed I saved my **s by installing the
spare parts WHEN they arrived. Guess what, the spare parts did NOT
fit. Murphy works in the parts department too. grin

According to local opinion, the best diesel to have in your boat is the
one that is most common in your area. Here it is Yanmar. Makes sense!
