Great video! What does it cost to get a tow like you had?

Without becoming more aware and practical about the systems of your boat don't go far from land until you have gotten a bit more experienced. Take your boat out on a few weekends that aren't nice preferably with a skilled yachtie.

Thanks for the video. You made it These things happen. Got a suggestion for you; you got the outboard on you so if you install a bracket for it it can be your backup in case all else fails...just an thought. Take care.

A great way avoid spill from filters is to wrap a plastic bag around the filter (food freezer bag is my preference)

If you fill new fuel filter with clean fuel before you install it you probably won’t have to purge the engine.
Good luck

Gotta have the dual filter with live switch over. Those things usually clog right when entering or leaving a crowded harbor….also can use the old filter housing and a cheap pump to polish your own fuel every so often. If you do that, and filter the fuel going in, you won’t have to worry about your fuel system. Cheers.

Your vid showed up on my feed so your doing something right. I have an old Cat 30 too. There is nothing wrong with reefing lines at the mast. I do clip on with my safety harness when going forward to reef. Fuel troubles never go away. I put a round inspection port in my tank so I can clean it out. A vacuum gauge on the filter tells you at a glance if the line is blocked. Sometimes you have to take off the fuel line from the filter and blow the crud back into the tank if that is blocked. Keep the furling line under tension while rolling out the head sail even while it's out. Nice winches but you don't need the extra blocks, they only add drag. A dodger is a must for cruising. Sailrite sells a nice kit. Dana point is a nice hop for you and you can anchor for free. What else? I hoist up the inflatable with the spin halyard and lash in down on the fore deck, deflated for long trips or heavy weather. I glue a Scotch Brite pad from West M. to a block of wood with a handle on it so it floats and hold my breath, no weights. 45 minutes and I'm done. A tea pot full of hotish water pored over your head is wonderful in this cold water!

I have a universal engine in my boat, I put a raycor filter on as well. Very easy to clean and has a visible bowl to drain water or debris. Can’t hurt with an extra filter.

I love the video, and great that you take these trips even when things don't go your way, If your out there again and having trouble with that old Universal just look up my contact phone on my channel, I help out fellow sailors at sea with maintenance issues (no charge) I have been a tech 45 years in all aspects of boats so don't let this put you in harms way, just look me up.

I enjoyed watching your experience. Shit happens and if you don't have the parts you are screwed. If you had the filter though you should at least try. As you learned it is an easy fix. Your diagnostics skills are good for sure! You do not plan to take your Cat 30 to Hawaii do you?
