Whistling Vented Loop
After replacing my sanitation hoses this spring an annoying but otherwise benign whistling noise occurs in the discharge vented loop whenever I pump the head. I had cleaned the loop prior to reinstalling and replaced the duckbill valve but to no avail. Any suggestions to purge air from the system.

Intake Issue
Freedom 38 I replaced my 27 hp Yanmar with a 40 hp several years ago without any performance issues. I have recently developed a problem with seagrass blocking the exterior stained screen due an apparent increase in pressure especially when stationary while charging batteries. This past spring I car...

Re: Electrolosis
Thanks for the input. Actually, the two zincs on my shaft and an additonal one on my prop have held up well. I do change annually.

Re: F36 freezer / ice box capacity?
The easiest fix is to replace the old unit with a like Adler Barbour refrigerator/freezer. If your existing unit lasted over 25 years a new one should certainly satisfy your needs. Also, don't try to save a buck. Replace the entire unit to ensure optimal performance and warranty coverage.

External Vang Plate Issue
The external aluminum Quick Vang support has developed a crack at one end of the welded pice. Unlike an earlier post, I can remove the bolts attaching the plate but not the boom end screws enabling me to slide the support forward for removal. The question is, can I have the support re-welded in plac...
