Sierra Introduces All-New Carburetors For Popular Sterndrive and Inboard Engines

Now, many boat owners can skip the rebuild and simply replace their troublesome old carb with a brand new Sierra carburetor and restore the performance and fuel economy of their engines.

These new carburetors from Sierra are built to original factory specs, and are not rebuilt or remanufactured products. Housings are cast from corrosion resistant aluminium and machined using Sierra’s own specially engineered tooling. Components are anodised and carefully assembled to provide season after season of reliable performance.

“There are thousands of sterndrive and inboard powered boats on the water dating back to the 70s and 80s. Up until now, carb problems on those boats had to be remedied with a rebuild kit and lots of time on the bench,” said Tom Douglass, vice president of sales and marketing for Teleflex Marine. “Our new carbs will save a lot of shop time and get boats back on the water ‘as good as new,’ maybe even better,” he added.

New Sierra carburetors are available in popular MerCarb® 2-barrel and Rochester® QuadraJet® 4-barrel models. (The new Sierra QuadraJet 4-barrel carb is the first all-new carburetor of this type available to boat owners since the 1980s.) Additional models will be available for other engines in 2013. Like all Sierra engine and drive parts, these new carbs are covered by Sierra’s limited lifetime warranty.

The Maritime Museum of BC is Looking for Stories From World War II Convoys

One of the biggest maritime tragedies in World War II is the story of convoy PQ-17 which carried relief supplies to the Russians. In July 1942, this convoy travelling from Iceland to Russia was attacked by German forces. Upon receiving intelligence, the escorts were ordered to withdraw and 22 out of the 33 ships in the convoy were sunk. The merchant sailors didn’t have the capacity to defend themselves and 153 men were killed. Winston Churchill described the incident as “one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the war.”
