Your pics open up just fine. Not corrupted.

Dwain,  You might check the valve cover casket.  A problem I had a few years back.
Paul

Stu, It is on the main message board.

["breather tube"]

the "breather tube" topic was covered in August of 2013 and it might be worth re-reading.

To catch the small amount of oil that travels to the air intake. It is not necessary.  Now we have a lot of things on a  boat that we did not have 40 years ago.
Paul

You might also add to this project a fuel sediment bowl to collect the blow by in the breather hose on its way to the air intake.

Spoke with Nexus Canada today.  No changes at the present time for pleasure boats. Can not enter Canadian waters! There will be a new update after April 21.

Thanks Jim,
I received the same email.  I am going to call the number listed in the email tomorrow.  I also emailed CBSA today.  Hope to hear from them soon.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the info.
I am an optimist and did order my decal.😊
Hope to see some of you in the North Channel.
Paul

Is there any scuttlebutt about opening up the North Channel for American sailors this summer?
Hoping for good news.😊
Paul

Thanks, Stu
The #s you listed for the 25xp were correct.
I did not think to search in the C34 Tech Wiki notes.  This will save me a trip to Muskegon.
Thanks,
Paul

Does anyone have the engine part # for Kubota?  I want to purchase a new casket and thermostat for my Universal 25xp.  The local Kubota dealer need the engine serial #.  I think it is located on the dipstick??
Thanks,
Paul

Michael, You might check the condition of your scupper hoses.  Easy way to check is to place a flash light over the scuppers and look in the aft locker.
Paul

I also check my batteries weekly for levels.  Every season I disconnect all cables and check the voltage in each battery and record this in my log book.

PS:  My wife and I spend 7 weeks sailing on Lake Michigan and also around Drummond Island and the St. Mary's river.  Missed the North Channel.
