Could anyone who has upgraded from an original Farymann L30 give me some insight as to what modifications to the engine bed had to be made? I've been looking for a used engine and it would be nice to know which models would require the least amount of modification.
Additionally, who would be a good repower mechanic to call with a lot of T-Ten experience? I'm in San Francisco, but it seems like you guys out on the Lakes are fond on Torresen Marine and Great Lakes Diesel? Any others?
Thank you in advance.
By the way, I've got the L30 sitting in the garage with a cracked and leaky water jacket. The top half is pretty rusted/corroded (it seems to be functional), but the bottom half is pretty well oiled and clean. It's waiting for a new injector, so whether it still runs is anyones guess. Feel free to contact me if you've got a working injector, or, on the other hand, an interest in L30 parts (once I give up)...

Lightning Strike - T-Ten sinking
Wednesday night (June 23rd) the sailing yacht Britsar, owned by Ken Schram, was hit by lightning during a thunderstorm while moored in its slip. The through-hull fitting for the speedometer was blown open, sinking the boat. Fortunately no one was aboard at the time of the lightning strike.
Has anyone else experienced a T-10 lightening strike and if so, were you in harbor or off shore and what was the resultant damage if any?

In case folks in the Long Island Sound area haven't heard, Lloyd Harbor YC is running our Spring Series in Western LIS with a T10 start if we can get at least 4 boats out. We have 3 so far, so please check out www.lhyc.org for more details if you are out here and haven't heard...
Thanks

I'm replacing my steaming light (not just the bulb) It looks like the original on my '84 is a Perko #PKO-0945DP0CHR. An alternative replacement is the Aqua Signal Series 25 Masthead / Foredeck Light, in the Defender catalogue as
Item #: 700239
12 Volt / 10 watt festoon and 20 watt halogen
Black housing
Manufacturer: AQUA SIGNAL
Model Number: 25404-7
My concern is that the the Aqua Signal will have to sit on top of the circular welded-to-the-mast base on which the Perko is fixed and will make fitting the Aqua Signal to the mast difficult if not impossible. It does come with adjustable side flaps for securing to masts of varying sizes but from the on-line info about the light I can't tell whether those flaps will sufficiently reach back to the mast given the height of the circular base on which the light will set.
Has anyone dealt with this or made made such a replacement? Have you found another steaming light that might be a better replacement? Thanks.

Hello all,
I recently acquired Hull #185 (TAR33185M79F) in San Francisco. It's generally in good condition (despite not being used for three years); the L30 is frozen.
My main concern is corrosion on the chain plates. It consists of pitting around the bolts (stainless bolts, aluminum plates) and is perhaps 1/8" deep in the worst locations. Are there T-Ten chain plate/mast horror stories I should be aware of? Everything else appears pretty solid so I think I can sail until they are replaced (soon).
Second, does the shroud conversion upgrade from Tops-In Quality include new chain plates? If not, it seems smarter (from a corrosion standpoint) to use stainless for plate material - any thoughts on this?
