    Looking for a mainsail cover

    Thanks Stephen. I have a worn one I'm looking to replace. Canvass shops are absolutely crazy with their prices these days. Wondered if there might be an "off the shelf" one for the Morgan 38. I don't really need a custom one.

    A/C Fresh Water Pump

    I need to replace my a/c pump. I have a Little Giant but I can't make out the Model Number. Any suggestions what and where I can get an appropriate replacement?

    Zinc Anode Locations

    Thanks, but just lipstick. I blew the exhaust mixing fitting and filled the engine room with soot so I cleaned it as best I could and sprayed it in place.

    Zinc Anode Locations

    Interesting. Thanks. So why is there a zinc in the heat exchanger? Is it electronically connected? Also, the fact that the zinc do disintegrate, are they not serving a purpose? Appreciate the education.

    Zinc Anode Locations

    Perkins 4-108 How many might I have and where would they be located? Found pencil zincs (1) at a bronze in-line filling just past the raw water pump, and (2) on the heat exchanger.

    Looking for Heat Exchanger for 4-108

    Any suggestions on where I can buy a replacement? How about the hoses too (while I'm at it). Thanks

    Oil Change Assistance

    I feel foolish because I've changed the oil plenty of times before. I have a built-in pump for draining the oil. It was installed before I bought the boat so I can't say how it's plumbed. I ran the pump until it was just spurting but only got maybe a gallon of used oil out. The 4.108 holds...

    Ignition Short

    Replaced the oil pressure sender and also the oil alarm switch. Solved the alarm problem but the new oil pressure gauge is maxed out and reading 80psi +. Did I maybe buy the wrong unit? The guy said it was a 100 psi gauge.

    Ignition Short

    I feel quite embarrassed. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTRUMENTS! What would cause low oil pressure? I thought I was taking off the oil pressure sending unit to replace it but was told this is just an alarm switch. Where is the actual oil sending unit located on the engine?

    Ignition Short

    Damn... I didn't even think of that. Thanks Warren. I have some investigating to do.

    Ignition Short

    Can someone explain how the ignition is wired so that I can try to find a short? You know the ignition switch has an audible alarm that shuts off when the engine fires. Well my alarm isn't shutting off. I can manually turn the switch off to stop the alarm without shutting down the engine, but...

    Thru Hull Maintenance or Replacement

    Thanks for the replies. I got the head outflow and the sink drain valves operable but the head raw water supply, which also supplies my a/c not. What do you think of my idea to cap off the head supply and use the sink drain for the head and a/c (they are both the same size). I will drain the...

    Thru Hull Maintenance or Replacement

    Greetings Folks - It has been some time since I visited the site. I tried selling Patriot but to no avail. Lots of lookers but no offers. I was selling for lack of use, so the solution, use her more. That is the plan anyway. Got her hauled for a bottom job and am checking the thru hulls...

    Old sail

    It looks like it might be a storm headsail. Not sure what that zipper compartment is for. Maybe it is made to zipper over the existing rolled-up jib. How heavy is the material? Is it torn up or just dirty? If it's a storm sail it might be good to keep it for cruising.
