Re: AutoHelm 800
I have the little ST-1000, think it was $400-ish from defender. I mounted mine on the top of the coaming and had to buy about seven inches of extensions. But it works great...truly a must-have for the

Re: AutoHelm 800
Hi Rick, I, too, have a cantilever mount for my ST4000. I've posted a picture of my Autohelm tiller bracket in the "Photos" section in the "Autohelm" folder. The pin on the tiller bracket is 18" from

Re: Fuel Capacity
Mine is an 8 gal. stainless steel Florida Marine Tank for a for a Yanmar 1GM10. Pretty sure it was original equipment, since the model number is FMT-8-S2. My engine sips fuel, maybe 0.5 gal/hr at 3200

Re: Fuel Capacity
Our tank is about 18 gallons, and one of us has listed their tank at something under 10 gallons. So measuring it is a very good idea. I used to charge our batteries at idle, but I've read the diesel

Re: Fuel Capacity
Hi Dick, My tank is about 16 Ga. Measure the tank; 231 cubic inches per gallon. I can run about three days on a tank on the river. I would guess about 30 hours at 3200, 1GM10. It will greatly depend

Re: Keel-stepped to Deck-stepped
Mark, I've shelved that plan for right now because I want to get the boat in the water right away. I'm going to build a plywood mock-up of the tabernacle for the welder and machinist to work from.

Fuel Capacity
We're about to take my boat to the coast and put it in the water (very excited). It occured to me that I don't know how big the fuel tank is. Would someone please tell me how big the tank is and also,

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
Thx for all the feedback - turns out the culprit was two very dead batteries. Ironically, everything else was working (though dimly) off the battery charger. Once the charger was turned off -

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
I bought a Cole-Hersee rubber clad continuous duty at West Marine, part #24117-01. Read somewhere that was the one to use (Hunter forum, maybe...) Haven't installed it yet... --Dave S. S/V Clio

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
I have a question that may apply, or not quite. My starter always spins when I hit the button, but occasionally will not engage the flywheel. I believe these are inertia type pinion gears and it's a

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
Gene, both my instructor and I tried to manually start the engine as you described, it was hopeless-and it was up on a workbench giving us much better leverage. I would not bother to even buy the

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
One other engine comment - has anyone ever been able to manually crank their engine over? I have tried several times, relieving the compression off the cylinder head, but the second I let go of the

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
Thx Mark. I cleaned all the grounds - then did the connection harness pin drill - still no luck. I think I will start next confirming the starter button is actually not broke. Am begiining to wonder

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
Mine was doing this and I pulled the panel in the cockpit, undid all of the connections, used pliers to squeeze them back tight and then reinstalled. Worked like a champ for about a year but now it

Re: Has anyone with a 1GM10 installed a solenoid...
Have the same situation here in CC where I press the starter button and nothing happens. I plan to check/clean the grounds and clean the connections on the harness - as suggested earlier in email
