Progress on Westerbeke 35D3 starting issue

Impressed too ! Congratulations on your tenacity ! I changed the fuel hose before the fuel pump and I had a bubble of air as described by John. What a pleasure to finally hear the engine ! Best wishes and now enjoy your Nonsuch !

I am attaching a photo of the tiller pin from my Raymarine Smart Pilot which sheared in two last week while sailing. It wasn’t a big deal. There was no violent force at the time it broke and I am assuming the situation was developing for a long time. I was just wondering if anyone else with this type of auto pilot has experienced the same issue.
