    Perkins Problem

    Tim wrote here: This is a real long shot, but I will toss it in the mix. A friends boat, a 1993 Compac 33, had similar symptoms. His tank pick-up tube had a screen at the bottom end, installed by the builder. It would slowly clog up and the engine would starve after running for six hours or so...

    To You With New Beta Engines

    Stephen, sorry for slow response. My fuel filters and pump are under sink on the wall facing nav station. Pump should be located as low as possible. Fuel flows from the tank thru the fuel filter, Facet pump to the Beta fuel Pump. I also have vacuum gauge between filter and Facet pump to monitor...

Replace zinc and see water rubber prop every year, beta rubber had crack after 2 years. Use buster fuel...
