    Repair westerbeke or replace and with what?

    Have you determined the cause of the no output situation? Lots of simple things can make the output go away. That said the Phasor Compact 6 Kw is a nice unit.

    Looking for convenient pump for dewatering bilges other than hand pump

    Attwood makes a small D cell powered bilge pump. Self contained with an on-off switch. It gets down low to the deck about 1/4 inch. I use one for my skiff. The hose coils up around the pump body for storage.

    Edison Ford

    When we went through FM in February all of the marinas (CFMYB, Legacy Harbor, and Edison) were still empty. It’s a shame.

    AIS Broadcasts

    A 40 nm ring will only be visible if you are zoomed out far enough to see it, no? Who keeps their chart plotter zoomed out that far? Not me unless making a big change to areas.

    Balmar 60 Alternator replacement for a Perkins 6.354

    If you havent bought them yet, great because you want the 2" spindle foot mount for a Perkins 6.354. Those in the photos are either 3.15" or 4" saddle foot mounts. They are not even close. So unless you want to build custom mounts, go 2" Dual foot mount and a few spacer washers to make it line...

    Help Identifying Part on Perkins 6.354 N/A

    Agree it looks like a ballast resistor for an old points type ignition distributor. Was your boat repowered from gas to diesel?

    That distinctive Bimini top should be visible a mile away. Was this some kind of bad check fraud?

    Dual Station Wiring Diagram - Perkins 6.354

    BS Could you do us a favor and re-take that wiring diagram photo into 4 zoomed in quarters. My manual is missing that drawing and I have not had any luck finding it online anywhere. Its a little fuzzy when you zoom in. Is there also a wire color key table? Thanks.

    Rocna Mk I vs Mk II

    We had a 55# Vulcan (it was stolen) and felt it was just right for our 36 Monk. If you do feel the need, Amazon had the lowest prices yet found for Rocna I or Vulcans.
