Motor won't start when hot

[sailingmax]

Ahoy! I have bought a Catalina 28 (2006 model) with a Kubota D1005E diesel motor.,
The motor starts fine when the motor is cold, however when the motor is hot it will not start. We have replaced all the fuel filters.
Any thoughts?
Also I am keen to buy a Manual for the motor(or, even better download one for free!!)
Would anyone have any leads?( I am in Victoria, Australia)
Many thanks,
Max

Max,

Check the ground wiring at the bell housing, usually THE issue with any engine start problems other than fuel.

Go to www.marinedieseldirect.com for all the info you need on your engine.
