Ross, Congrats! We have a different brand muffler. It's a decent sized FRP water lift type. I'll have to check for you. I think the hose is larger than 3" but I'm not sure. Our muffler is mounted off

Dave and Eric, Thanks for all the info, I now have a new 75hp bolted in my Maramu and was wondering which muffler you used. Was it a Vetus? Which model? Yanmar specs 3" hose and muffler so needs

Bill,    I had a similar problem on the Santorin Lofrans windlass, which I solved by cleaning the carbon dust from the motor commutator, and then " cutting back" the  accumulated gunk between the

Bill, Maybe not of any help, but I had a loss of power of my windlass a couple of years ago. It turned out to be a broken connection on my alternator which caused insufficient charging of the

Thanx Bill. Yes, for 1999 SM #243. Do you know who makes the fixture for the deck lights? One of the little ears that holds the bulb in place has broken off. Kent Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone

Bill, I assume you've checked all the connections for corrosion?
