Does anyone know where to get a replacement for the older galley cabinet
latch. It is a black plastic rocker-type finger latch.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [C320-list] Compression Release and Hand Cranking Startup
Per the Yanmar owner's manual, the compression release can be used to assist
in circulation of lubricating oil through the engine prior to start up
after winter storage. Just turn the releases on, pull out the fuel shut off
and crank the engine until the oil pressure light goes out. This gets the
engine lubricated before the strain of startup at the high compression loads
of the diesel. I do this when the boat is first launched after the long
winter layup. Then off with the compression releases and normal startup.
The fresh water Yanmar 3GM30F has the sea water belt in the way of the
manual cranking gear so the hand cranking to start up with the compression
releases on is not easily possible. Also, there is a cover over the
cranking gear held in place by 2 small screws. I have often thought about
taking the cover off to confirm that the cranking gear is there (like on the
non-fresh water 3GM30). If so, then the challenge would be to try to locate
the Yanmar crank accessory. The owner's manual goes through the drill of
starting the engine by hand cranking. And by removal of the gear cover and
simply loosening the sea water pump belt there is another option for
emergency startup from battery or starter failure. Also, if the starter
fails, batteries don't help.
