Our single eng. Marine Trader 34 is bad in those conditions as well. Always have to take over from Auto helm and when there is room ie not in a narrow channel I quarter the waves and tack (zig zag). But one strange thing I have found is when our two 150 gal water tanks are full and the stern...

Thanks for all the info! I am convinced this is indeed is an electric in line fuel pump. From the descriptions and pictures that is the only thing that matches exactly. But it does not run... no clicking noise or vibrating when engine is turned on or running, so must have been for some other...

To Moby Nick: thanks. Although we haven't posted we've monitored the site for years. We still have our Marine Trader 34 but the Albin 25 is our first 'project' boat. We are hoping to move down in the next year or two. May need some specific info on the Albin in the near future... hope you're...

That is how our marine trader 34 is set up but the Albins Westerbeke is electric and self priming.

Thought of a flow meter but no meter on dash. Also, the W33 has an electric self priming system so not sure how accurate a flow meter would be as fuel is constantly being pumped as long as ignition switch is on - even if engine not running.

Not the fuel pump. I should have mentioned that. First thing I eliminated although for all I know it could be an off line pump no longer used, but why leave it there when the factory pump works fine.

Hoping this is simple. Found just after the Racors on fuel line in our Albin 25. Has red and black wires but unable to trace the red wire that goes into the pannel and into a wire raceway. No buttons or gauges with unknown functionality and the fuel shutoff is manual. Has a Westerbeke W33.

Thanks all for the informed responses. Someone did point out this topic had been covered briefly in a forum on a different site that had missed our initial searches. One respondant on that site had a similar experience with his years on a Catalana 25 with an 8 hp motor and was of the opinion...

Anyone heard of someone doing this? There has to be scores of 25 foot sailboat models that you see on the water every day running at hull speed using their 8 hp auxiliary outboard. Some of these models had inboard diesels as options but the outboard was the standard power. We cruised for 15...
