The drain channel on the stbd side slider has been the culprit on mine- Takes some poking around and flushing with a hose but it hepled. The old starboard list again!

fresh water system leak
When I was working on the boat last weekend, I energized the water system to test the shower sump. When I did that I heard sputtering and hissing. I have a leak at a gray compression fitting, STBD FWD cabin table hull access. Should I splice a new section of line or replace the whole thing when I redo the fitting? :cry:

I've had luck in trimming off a very short piece of the pipe and refitting it into the connection.
Well, yesterday I got good motor oil in the transmission, easily installed the cockpit seat bumpers, figured out why the water drains to the cabin from the slider, put a bungee along the boom to hold the mnsl folded, decided how to fix the detiorated wood area in the cabin sole, and a couple other miscellaneous items. It was a good day.
motor oil in the transmission
...."motor oil in the transmission"......That doesn't sound right?? And what are cockpit seat bumpers?
Robert, Splax has a Yanmar 3GM30F with a Kanzaki KM3-A tranny. Yanmar recommends 30 weigth motor oil for that tranny. You'll find a discussion on that on the first or second page of this thread. The cockpit seat bumpers are those rubber bushings under the cockpit seat preventing FB to FB contact. On the 34 the seats are on hinges and lift up to reveal lockers. Have a nice day !
Thanks .... I need to check to see if I have the same transmission ........ Incase I ever need to add or change the fluids.Claude L.-Auger said:
Okay??....... Cockpit seat lids or more correctly .... Cockpit lazzerette hatches .... With rubber contact pads instead of rubber caskets. For some water proofing to help prevent water from splashing up under lazzerette hatch and getting below into locker.
more clarification
"I need to check to see if I have the same transmission ........ In case I ever need to add or change the fluids.

For a Hurth transmission I recommend Amsoil ATF. I am considering a motorcycle oil to use in the KM-3 transmission. You should change the fluid every year due to moisture contamination and molecular shear through use reducing the lubrication.
A post earlier suggested weaving a line around the cockpit seat supports that would prevent water intrusion and provide continuous support for the hinged seat. I will post photos later today.

Hmmm....?/ It seems I remember seeing these rubber bump thingys at Home Depot or was it Wally Mart?Here's photos of the rubber bumper replacement.
fuel tank draining
Hello,
How do people drain the fuel tank? I need to get the old nasty fuel oil out of the boat, but I don't want a mess or the boat stinking. When I replace the fuel filter or empty the water separator, what keeps the tank from draining by siphoning?
