Posts: 7 04/23/06 18:29:52	Tags : None Greetings: I am looking for on-line sources for the overhead hatch shades for my MKII and for a spare v-belt for my Yanmar. The shades seem to be hard to find in general. I live in the Boston area and any suppliers with Yanmar parts are a long drive from home; I would like to find an on-line supplier. Thanks! SarahB

Besides, when we archive these, I expect 1/2 of this information will be in the wrong archive. Don't forget browsing the Jump To pull-down on the bottom of the Forum home page. I recommend you create a separate new post on the Yanmar v-belt & edit the original (including the subject). Thanks, ~~~~_/)~~~~ Norm Perron, Hull #600/2 cabin, Aphrodisiac, Marina del Rey, CA

Posts: 135 04/24/06 10:16:12	SarahB Just another thought. A spare v-belt is a good thing. However, in my experience, the most failure prone part in the system is the fuel filter, followed by the raw water pump impeller. V-belts fail slowly and usually start slipping well before they break. Filters and impellers fail without warning. Even if you don't change them yourself, having a spare on board allows a friend or a mechanic to replace them without waiting for parts. That's a good thing too if you're out on a cruise.

It is silver on each side and is probably made of mylar and it has "bubblewrap" as the inner layer. Buy a roll of it and carefully cut it to fit each hatch. Will last a couple of years before you replace them. Does an excellent job and is nearly free! (by boat standards). Colin

Sunlight will eventually cause crazing and having the hatch cooked from below and above can't be a good thing. Rod Williams Azure, #343, 2-cabin Alameda/San Francisco Bay, CA.
