Hello Larry,
It's been quite some time since posting our wireway quandry. Thank you for your response. Continued probing with assistence from our friends at local yard and we've managed to connect the 'dots'. Still not so convienient, but solved. Going on our first year, getting more familiarized. Had furnace and stern thurster installed. Doing lots of custom work which is what my partner and I do ourselves. .5 mile from condo we're on boat almost daily. Quite small oil leak form front seal of yanmar 380 hp with 110 hours now. Decided to pursue warranty on it. Expected to be two days for oil pan, spacer and front seal, is now a month running. The long established respected outfit here in Seattle's Lake Union area has been bogged down with continual pre-auth protocal between local distributor and yanmar but are continuing on their nickel as they continue to dismantal engine to properly do the reseal! Mainship has no salon floor hatches. To access internal 'hatch' involves lowering headliner in engine room and cutting around framed hatch to establish just where to cut salon floor. Certainly not what we bargained for at this time. Hangin' in there! *Stu and Jim M/V Sunset Blues *("08 34 Mainship trawler)
