Hylas Discussion / Re: Replacement Fuel Pump H46
« Last post by Hobiehobie on December 07, 2023, 09:19:36 AM »
We turn the fuel pump on when we are using the engine.  I get that it can also be used to move fuel from tank to tank through the Racor, but I was under the impression (possibly in error) that it helped lift the fuel out of the tanks to the engine, taking some stress away from engine pump.

Have we been operating under a false assumption?

I think this practice was handed down from the previous owner.

We also have a lift pump for the Generator.

As John wrote, the pump can transfer fuel from one tank to another.  The fuel passes through the RACOR filter during the transfer thus cleaning it.  The pump is also useful to prime the RACOR after a filter change.

May be a different set-up on yours, but on our boat it is a fuel transfer pump used to transfer fuel from one tank to another and/or to polish fuel. You just have to be careful and intentional when positioning the to/from/return and main fuel selectors on your manifold (if multiple tanks).

Kevin and jt11791,

What is the purpose of this pump on your boats?  Fuel system priming, diesel heater, or ???

Thanks,
Peter

Hello friends, I tried to purchase a lee cloth on the Robshop website, but since I have a US address, it will not ship to me. It directs me to purchase from their vendor, San Diego Marine. Unfortunately, San Diego Marine does not carry the lee cloth. Any suggestions?

Quick question, I'm away from the boat for a bit but would like to purchase a replacement cutlass bearing for SeaGlub 46#22. 1.5" shaft. Anyone have the specs and / or link for a recommended place to purchase?

Thank you

Hylas Discussion / Re: Leaking mast boot
« Last post by burtpreston on November 24, 2023, 04:10:35 PM »
We had this problem until I took the time to fix the mast so the deck tape would seal properly. Using epoxy filler I created a smooth band about two inches wide around the mast a few inches above the deck. Our mast is "in-mast" furling, so the back of the mast had a large opening that needed to be filled. When complete, we used self-amalgamating tape to seal between the deck and the mast and finished off the top of the wrap with electricians tape. We cover it with a canvas boot cover to keep the sun off and it has been good for the past 5 to 6 years.
