Is it the OEM Westerbele harness? i.e., does she have the stupid, convoluted, back-asswards Westerbeke wiring scheme on the B engines, or, like Ron's XPB, does she have the intelligent wiring scheme that Universal Oshkosh put on the pre-B engines?

Main Message Board / Oil/temp warning
Last post by dclintonbaker - Today at 07:39:08 AMI realized this topic has been posted previously, but I was looking for some guidance of how to move forward.
I have a 2004 C34 MK II with a universal M 35 BC engine.
Recently I had to replace the gearbox because of a worn drive plate. To do that the engine had to be taken off the mounts (which were replaced) and moved forward into the cabin. The wiring harness was reconnected and since then there has been a warning from the oil/temp buzzer. The mechanic replaced the buzzer and the oil pressure switch on the engine but the problem persists. I'm suspecting that there is a short in the wiring harness. Moving forward I wonder if replacing the single wire from the oil sensor switch back to the panel would solve the problem or whether the whole harness needs to be removed and rebuilt. Any comments would be appreciated.

Last post by Pete G - Yesterday at 10:45:00 AMThanks, Ron. It's easy to go overboard. Pun intended. I'm replacing the line with the upgrade from Catalina Direct.

Where did you buy the teak for the trim pieces? Could you get the same thickness?
how did you fashion the convex exdges, if not with a router?
I need to replace both of my trim pieces due to cracks.

The Service Manual, Workshop Manual, and Service Manual describes it and the last two have pictures of the butt end of the crankshaft/flywheel.
Then return to the parts manual and see p/n 299506, do a facepalm, and say Ohhhhh!! aloud.

Main Message Board / M25XP Flywheel to crankshaft c...
Last post by britinusa - Yesterday at 05:16:15 AMI'm working on replacing the Damper plate on my 1987 C34 M25-XP, I have no info about any previous replacment.
My very well respected mechanic that is very familiar with C34's and Universal Engines - suggested that the noise made by the engine in a range of RPM is probably the damper plate. He also commented on how it should be changed out about every 1500 hours - we have over 6000 hours on our engine.
I have downloaded the Parts Manual for the M25XP engine but I do not see how the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft.
It's not that I need to remove the flywheel, I'm just curious about it. Anyone know how the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft - drawings or pictures would be a bonus.
TIA
