Engine was starting and running fine, having done a lot of hours in the last two years I thought id get the injector checked as I was doing a major service.

Hi All, Two years ago I had my Yanmar 1GM10 injector checked at PowerDrive in Portsmouth. They said it was hosing and recommended a replacement which I bought from them. Two years and about 300 hours running later I have taken it back for a service only to be told its hosing and should be...

I had this problem, its probably air leaking on the fuel system. Change bleed screw plastic washers, the secondary fuel filter housing can be a problem too, I changed mine and its been fine since. A battery that's not giving its full cranking power is also possible cause. A squirt of easy-start...

Some good advice, thanks very much everyone.

Our Gib'sea 76 has a few minor scrapes and scratches on the hull that I'd like to fill but I need to get the correct shade of white gel coat... Does anyone know the reference etc., for Gib'sea hull gel coat? (I'm assuming, perhaps naively that all Gib'sea yachts have the same shade of gel coat)...

Sold to Keith. Thanks!
