Pearson 365 and 367

Good afternoon, Replaced mine last week just wanted to share a trick someone showed me. When nut is removed alit of water comes into the boat ,although the bilge pump can handle it this is a bit unsettling,not to mention getting washed down while getting it all done. Simply take electric tape wind many turns around shaft then over threads after nut is removed stop wrapping when water slows and relax.

Good afternoon, I really went after cover with SS brush and acetone then applied JB weld. Not sure how long this will last but has several 2 hour runs followed by 8 hour trip down ICW and back approx 24 hrs and not one drop has leaked. Thanks for reply re welding in place... Had welder look and he was reluctant to touch it for fear of making it worse... He will be glad to fix it off the boat where he can put copper plate behind to keep heat / burn thru more controlled while welding.

Good afternoon, We would like to know if anyone has taken off the timing gear cover on 365 with the engine mounted in place? If so could you share procedure? Ours has several pin holes where it has rusted thru.  Tried wire brush followed by acetone wash down then JB weld.... lasted several hours then JB weld pealed off..2nd attempt was a whole lot more diligent with sandpaper and wire brush acetone then JB weld ..,, just would like a plan "b" of replacing cover..Thanks Jeff

Thanks for the reply, fix was simple someone had fabed a replacement line.Just needed to twerk the bends till it was nearly perfectly aligned. Back and forth several times and now no leak. Initially it had approx 10ish degree of misalignment, my assumption was given the fitting type it would be okay. Turns out to be not true. Thanks again Jeff hull 303 SV Vixen

Hey all, My 365 ketch has a injector leak at the connection of injector tube to injector. As it is #4 it is a challenge to get to pump end of line for removal.I think I would like to replace injector and line with new or known good parts so as to only battle this once.Does anyone know a source for these? Ps new to board and new to us boat.
