[Alberg30] Re: [Alberg30]Engine Replacement

[Keys]

Hello, we;ve just gotten an Alberg 30 that sank during hurricane Georges. The engine [4A] is scrap and with the boat came with a used Yanmar 30 .  What do ya'll think about the kinds of problems in using and installing this engine. We're planning on tearing out around the engine compartment . It looks like we might have to move the engine forward to get the tranny to clear the sides of the hull.  I haven't got the old engine out but we are hauling the boat today. Thanks ,Bill

  Shawn.
   
  1. Forestay, backstay and upper shrouds should be 1/4 inch. Lower shrouds 3/16 inch. Go up one size for all wires if using SS #316 because it is weaker than SS #304.
   
  2. Always use 1 x 19 for rigging.  7 x 19 wire is used when flexibility is required such as a wire halyard which has to run around a sheave, like a main wire halyard or wires used in steering systems.
   
  3. Normally use 304 SS which is stronger than 316 SS. But If you will be cruising in the tropics 316 is recommended because it resist better to rust in that environment.
   
  4. Swage fittings can do. But for superior strength, go for swageless fittings such as Sta-Lok or Norseman. They are re-usable and don't require a machine to attach the studs to the wire, you can do it yourself, they don't weaken the wire at the attachment point. Both brands are recognized by Lloyd's Shipping.
   
  Sorry, no main for sale.
   
  Cheers.

    I am replacing the rigging this year.  Need to know:
    1. Diameter wire people are using?
    2. # of strands- Should I use 1x19?
    3. What # SS
    4. Terminal fittings?
     
    BTW I am looking for a main in good shape, as well as, a 150 genny.
     
    Thanks,
