Another Catalina 30 question. I have (and confirmed someone else with the same undiagnosed problem). Engine fires cold great and runs well. But after sailing it needs a lot of cranking. So much so that I’m closing the raw water after getting water in my oil twice this summer.
Since it runs great once it’s going I haven’t been able to wrap my head around it. The fuel line isn’t really close enough to the heat of the engine to get vapour locked (if that’s a issue).
Any ideas or experience with this situation out there?
