Yes that's why I have a line cutter. Est coast in the Maine is full of lobster line.  Tree time going under with my scuba bottle to remove the line. Most of the time my line cutter do thejob but there are excception.

Ok thank you very much.

Excuse me but what do you mean by holding up. If it is good again?

Hi Ron I had just place to install my line cutter and there is 1/16 gap between the cutter and strut. You say that's enough for the water?

Hi everybody, a couple of years ago I have installed a line cutter between my propeller and cutlass bearing. So the line cutter is very close of my cutlass bearing and I think is to close about 1/8. Since that time I hear a noise at different idle speed and I think because the line cutter is close there is restriction of water inside the cutlass but I'am not sure. For now I think if I install a flexing coupling between the transmission and my shaft I should have 1 inchs more. The flexing coupling would be a Isoflex. What do you think about my problem and about the Isoflex. Excuse my fault I'm learnig my English. Thank you very much. I know also that the gap between the propeller and the cutlass is supposed to be 1 time the diameter of the shaft but with the Isoflex it would be 2 inches.

I'll come back this spring when I will work on the boat. For now there is snow on the boat.

Defender said that the lens and seal are both oem product. So I will go with them

I sent a mail to Defender to ask them if they are the oem seal and lens. So what I see is that Catalina direct has the oem lens but they don't have the oem seal.

Hi Ron the lens and seals are similar or a little bit thicker like Catalina direct

Thank you I will buy the oem lens from lewmar for the thinner and what about the color of the lens? I think is suppose to be smoke grey isn't it?

Hi I'm loocking for picture or video for to fix my opening porthatch size 1 I want to change the lens and the gasket. I saw on Catalina direct the gasket and seem a little bit special and also there are two model of lens one is little bit thicker. Recommendation will be appreciate. Thank directly from Montreal.

In the same idea, is there anyone who has remove his starter on a M35bc. I think that is a big job, as I saw I think that I need to remove alternator and all the hose and no place to see the bolt on the left side of the starter. I would like to remove the starter and maybe rebuilt while I have the time for that . Thank you

Thank you for all. So I can't go this year to Bahamas because of the covid virus, I will have time for preparing my next long trip and thinking about the spare parts that I will bring with me.

My motor has 2000 hrs, so having a starter for spare is just a security because when you are in Bahamas island alone it's very hard to find store. There is Nassau and Georgetown where the plane can goes. After that you can wait a week or two to have the stock and pay 20.00 each time that you change the door for custom. I have the experience with that, so I don't have all the parts but alternator, fuel lift pump, strap, impeller ect.  That why I would like a starter but I don't want to pay to much. It's good for me I'm learning my English. Ha ha

Thank you Ken, It's for a spare is it the same for a v1300 and the v1305
