[C320-list] Yanmar Silent Recall

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Folks,

Silent recalls are industry standard, all manufacturers of engines do it,
Westerbeke is just as culpable--perhaps you've had it on your engine but
being silent, you don't know it!

Why silent, I have no idea but like I said, happens all the time...that's
why it's a good idea to contact the area distributor--Mack Boring,
Boatswains Locker, etc--a couple times a year, give them your engine model
number and see what recalls, if any, are in effect for your engine
model/type. Some of these folks can put you on a 'hot list'

Why is this a "SILENT" recall? Are they trying to hide the problem?
A recall should be sent to every owner of those affected hull  numbers.
Catalina should know what Yanmar engine numbers went into each  hull !
They should fix the problem even if beyond warrenty times!

I`am happy to have the Westerbeke
