I did battle. And was victorious!

Replaced the tach sensor unit on my Yanmar 3JH2E. It had gotten severely rusted -- likely from some saltwater weepage -- and during the engine survey the mechanic suggested replacing it before it became impossible to remove. It's a tight space, and almost got my ratcheting wrenches permanently stuck in there... twice! Upon removal it was clear the threads were fine though, so it probably could have been left alone. Installed the new one anyway, since I already had it. Took about an hour total. (Would've been less time if I hadn't gotten the wrenches stuck!)

The part needs a 24 mm wrench when new. Had to use a 1 inch wrench to remove the old one, as the rust had increased its size a bit.

that's one clean-looking engine!

Thank you Mickey! It's good to have some perspective... I was recently thinking how grungy the engine is looking. =^D

"Practically new" LOL >.<

Hi Leslie! We're in San Rafael, CA. I'll see if I can get a signature going with pertinent info like the one you have.

She's hull #34, which may have been the last one built? At one time I heard there were 34 of the CR34s.

Well welcome, Chuck!  34. Wow. Tango was early but we find her a sure-footed magic carpet that takes us exploring. I am sure you will get many hours, days and months enjoying your sturdy vessel. You will also enjoy all the compliments you will get on your beautiful boat. 😄

With kind regards,

Mickey - Haha you got me again LOL

Leslie - Thank you so much! She is indeed a looker and has already received several compliments and double-takes.  :-)  I'm amazed actually at how many people know about Cabo Ricos and their reputation for being strong and well-built.
