cptn_steve replied to Marlene Anne Sassaman's discussion Florida to New York to Bermuda to Florida in the group FEMALE BOAT OWNERS AND SAILORS"I'd be interested in doing some of the trip depending on when you were thinking of traveling. I've done a couple of blue water trips from CT and RI down to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Actually had some part of my butt…"

cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"There should be two set screws on the shaft side of the coupling. These will keep the shaft from moving fore and aft. They should also be wired together with stainless steel wire to prevent their loosening.
I'm attaching a photo I…"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"Don't quite know what you mean with the shaft shifting. The only thing that comes to mind is the shaft slipped aft out of the coupling a bit. Is that what you meant?"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"Just as a side note, don't do any prop shaft alignment while the boat is hauled out. That must be done in the water as you can have some torque of the hull while on the hard and mess up an alignment."
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"Ha!!! it is interesting how information comes out. I'll bet you a dime for a dollar that the prop has not opened up fully and causing an imbalance. A barnacle in the wrong place could very well do that and prevent one blade…"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"Well, it most likely is one of two issues then. Alignment or a prop issue. That is my story, and I'm sticking to it.
:)"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"it could even be the prop got bent a bit. a diver can do a visual check on that too. He should know how to do that. Remember hitting anything while motoring?"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"The only way it could be the alternator is if there were and extremely heavy load on it, meaning your batteries charge level was very low. If you have a shore power charger, this should not be the case.
As far as if a wire were broken on the…"
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"it sounds like a fuel problem or if worst comes to worst, check the compression."
cptn_steve replied to Sherry's discussion Best way to prevent the engine block from vibrating"If it runs rough while not in gear, it may not be running on all cylinders. I'd check each cylinder by loosening the fuel line at each injector one at a time while it is running. If air is in the system, it will get pushed out and…"

Mike Brown replied to GaryG's discussion Cockpit latches problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Adjusting the striker plate will take the pressure off the latch mechanism and prevent failure. "
Alan replied to GaryG's discussion Cockpit latches problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"My B43 #50 has had similar problems and it is laughable that the dealer would tell you that this is something that he/she is unaware of. I've had to crawl under the transom step into the gas locker area to make repairs to this item as…"
James Taylor replied to GaryG's discussion Cockpit latches problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"B43 #19 has had similar issues but easily resolved by;
1.) adjusting latchhead to proper position then;
2.) tightening backing nut.
Have not had to do this with middle seat but there is a backing nut on latch. You have to be a contortionist…"
James Taylor commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have no idea!
Maybe you can call Beneteau with your manufacture's Identification Number and Beneteau can give you the hull number."
Rafa commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"James,
I don't know the hull number of my B43, where can I find It?
Saludos."
