    Analog to NMEA 2000

    I also used Noland on an old Ford using existing sensors with no issues. Only chose Noland as I noted that they were in Melbourne which I thought would be the best option for both freight and support if needed. I now know that there is a Melbourne in USA and Australia. So now I have instruments...

    Ford Lehman 80 overheating

    Hi Rob, In your original post when you engine was running happily I suspect "spell check" took over and of course it was running around 180 deg F. It looks to me from your video that the raw water flow seems very low for 75% throttle. Is the strainer below the water line ? if you removed the...

    Stubborn Bolt Removal

    The motor seems to be seized so I thought I wold remove this plug to ensure that the oil gallery was not blocked. It won't budge!!!!. Do you think PB Blaster would work ok ? Or should I just replace the engine. I've read here in the past that it is usually cheaper to rebuild than replace ?a

    Splicing chain?

    The correct tool for the job is a rivet snap or rivet set and anvil. Someone like Aircraft Spruce will have them. But overkill for this because as others have said the rivets aren’t resisting longitudinal loads they’re mainly in shear. I’m sure you will do ok with a punch………….or not (wink)

    Ford Lehman 120 fuel leak

    I'm really surprised that you cant buy this item new in the US. Available here (NZ) from tractor supply and diesel engine companies. I have previously posted a listing of a number of part numbers from different suppliers for the lift pump. I can look it out and re-post it if you think it will be...

    2715E lehman 120 lift pump

    I posted the picture of the two pumps. Neither is broken but have different actuation arms. I bought the short arm pump as a replacement but when I went to fit it found that it was the wrong type. The correct one (for my engine) is the long arm unit. The part numbers shown are the part numbers...

    Windy weather app

    Yep - I did the update and now no longer get the swell info. I recommend not updating if using the free option. Bother - was really useful in checking that I was anchoring out of the wind and swell overnight. I see spending some money in my future

    My boat smells like celery?

    Sorry but it reminds me of this: A guy visits his doctor and complains that he is experiencing bad flatulence although thankfully silent and without any odour. (In fact the guy let’s rip several times with the doctor not as much as raising an eyebrow) The doctor prescribed him some pills and...

    Ford Lehman 2728T losing power

    The engine dropping revolutions when the gearbox is engaged sounds like a clue.(assuming that it is not just a momentary decrease) Am I correct in stating that setting the throttle position selects desired revolutions and fuel is supplied at the required rate/volume to maintain the selected...

    120 Lehman lift pump failure

    If you have the correct pump I suspect that the spacer is missing. With the pump removed rotate the engine so that the cam is at the lowest point and mark the crank pulley for future reference (to aid bleeding). Replace the pump over the studs and press it up to seat against the block. Remove...
