Never mind got there in the end by pulling with pliers until the innards came out then levering off with a screwdriver. Fair to say this thermostat hasn't worked in some time, fortunately stuck in the open position.

What's the secret then...looking at he new one looks like just pushes in but there isn't anything to grab on to when removing the old one?

Sunrise and sunset times in Cowes, August 2024

Seems unlikely heading in to shortened days and worsening weather and unlikely the charter company would agree to it. Concerto went round last year and he's a motivated guy in a well found boat and I think it took him longer than 10 weeks in peak season. If it was your own boat you've always...

I delivered a Farr 40 once from cork to Southampton and that did 10 knots most of the time under kite. Not a relaxing experience however and mostly a shell beneath decks.

The possibility to get a share in something out of Lefkas has suddenly arisen but would be there mostly in summer school holidays. I've heard the stories of how busy it is...is it really as hot, windless and rammed as people suggest? I thought about following a flotilla around one day behind and...

I do love the broads, thinking of adding a little Hunter 19 to the fleet to keep there, mostly to do the 3 rivers race with. Can only work if can store it for buttons though, already paying enough for the other 3. I'm guessing The Q will have some ideas.

Contessa 32 for sale UK, Contessa boats for sale, Contessa used boat sales, Contessa Sailing Yachts For Sale Contessa 32 from 2012 - Apollo Duck Newish Co32 with some "interesting" fitout choices. How much has the original owner lost on this in 12 years, 100k easily and hard to imagine anyone...

Just got a new alternator with a coveted W terminal so then I thought great, now I can fulfil a lifetime ambition of having a tachometer. Except I'm struggling to find one, preferable 52mm up to 4000rpm. ASAP only seems to have huge expensive ones, 85mm. Doesn't have to be alternator driven...

Easy starter for 10 for someone here I'm sure. Can you identify what each of the terminals here are, and is one of them the elusive W terminal for a tacho?

Worked last year, upon feeling about I find this plug thing loose. May not be related, may have always been loose. Anything to check?

This all day.

Living on a Halcyon 27...just no. The Mac 32...sails really well would be an optimistic statement but if your living on it then comfort is the only consideration at that price. Preferably it works too.

Thanks all, thought it might be an engine specific part but got a new cap from a car shop for 50p, job done.

Does anyone know where they can be bought? Having trouble locating one.

Further to my post yesterday about a water leak, the culprit turned out to be this grey cap that popped off the right hand side below the first injector. Seems to be just a case of tapping it back in but should I use some sort of glue or sealant? I have some hylomar blue to hand if that would...

Steve Goacher in Windermere would be the obvious choice. I would say 2 to 2.5k based on what I have had from him previously, some.variance on cloths etc.

Ok an update on the leak turns out it's coming from a hole in the engine on the right side underneath the first injector. It appears to be a port that has lost its plug or something? I haven't found the offending item in the manual yet. Whatever it is it's not in use and nothing has changed...

Just fired up the engine to test it for the first time since last year and water is spurting out around the side. The water hoses are looking a bit sad so may as well change them all. Is there a spec for the hose? I see some individual hose parts for high prices but would something like this...

Very understandable but sometimes weather windows come in short doses and without the ability to make progress overnight they can be missed. Getting comfortable overnight before or during this trip would be a huge help.
