i had to replace one a long time ago on the portside. i didn't have to remove the starter. i like your idea of planning where to put it now. also design a wiring bundle and how you will terminate and join bundles (i.e, a termination block, etc). also how you will mount to hull.

maybe try to find a sailmaker who has built sails before.

hi mike, i don't have that exact pump but i did try calvert pump. i thinkcalvert must be made by the same company. i do still use is it on our mainship ac pump and it works fine BUT the quality of the pump is not even close. it's all plastic and not heavy duty at that. as you said, you get what you ...

hi nick,

it's probably the oil pressure sender/sw. they are pretty cheap and relatively easy to replace. i'd start there and if you still have the problem then i'd start really investigating.

we just use the synthetic boards, no wood. they are about 1'x3'x4". for locks we use lines on lifelines and position them on slotted toe rail. for our seasonal docking we do a combination of doubling and end to end on toe rail. we have 4 of them.

hi, since we left new england and floating docks, we converted to "fender boards" i.e. the ones sold by defender, et al. this year we actually used the built in slots to make "double" length fender boards. they stow easily, are rugged, and give flexible options. i also made hooks...

our problem ended up being dirt packed in behind the hinges. we cleaned so far we're ok. related to your problem, we had water in genset compartment floor. after thoroughly checking gaskets and surfaces i noticed some space between the deck and the hatch flange. i removed loose bedding and re-packed...

do you know if the charger works successfully on shorepower?

heh welby, welcome aboard! first, we too have 3 blade 75's and like you when we got our boat it was way over-propped. i dug thru my records and they are now 16x14. we've had them like that for 18 years (4000 hrs). we run at 3350 rpms and that gives us 13.5 knots. as far as 4 blades vs 3. if you sear...

we used mrsimcard years ago. the advantage you get from him is that your phone is working the minute you get near a tower without going in to get a simcard. we are out of date on the current cellphone market.

thanks alan.

i assume you put the joint between the ends on the bottom. also, did you glue the ends together?

hi all,

we've developed a leak on one of our rear vertical hatches. as best i can tell the water is running down the vertical hull, over the hatch flange and then i believe getting between the gasket and the glass.

does anyone know what secures the rubber gasket to the glass?

here's one, i think there are a couple of more

not sure it's definitive answer, but if you search the forum, i've seen a couple of threads on it(splash guards).

a suggestion. if you search this site you'll see a modification to the nut which significantly cuts down on the loosening problem. basically, install a screw from the inside of the nut and then use a nyloc nut to secure the zinc. otoh, if you don't have line cutters, you may want to consider switchi...
