PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Just a little more. I was there for the survey and watched and listened as this area was tapped out. Solid as a rock all around the rectangle. The surveyor had me go inside and walk back and forth on the sole between the salon table and the cockpit. I stepped heavily and I'm about 220. He saw deflec...

You can also see a small area outlined in front of the starboard engine pod that was wet. I've talked about this boat in other threads. The PO was the original owner. He disassembled much of the interior and exterior last year. He took all the stuff home for unknown reasons. He passed away. In late ...

Edit Jun 30: Take a look. Having consulted learned folk, I think this is NOT a delamination, but simply the box structure of the salon floor. Perhaps I should delete this entire thread. If you have an opinion regarding this, let me know. Thanks for your support. jm This is a 2000 PDQ36 Classic. The ...

The mast measured at about 39'4". So, it is not a tall rig. I'm estimating about 47' for bridge clearance. About right? The ForceTen oven was also disassembled. I'll post pix in a new thread later. There was a heater in the aft starboard hull lazerette. 'Was', as in, no longer present. Any sugg...

The outside pic:

Here is another piece of my favorite puzzle. I found this length of copper foil in the starboard salon storage area. One shot shows the tape sporting a piece of hook and loop (velcro) glued to it and more h&l glued around the storage box on the aft and inboard walls. The second shot shows the ou...

Sounds good.

I'll yell when I need a hand and sagely wisdom.

Thanks AmyTom!!

Is the fit of the two models the same? Is it likely to change every so often as the engines evolve?

Don Casey's book doesn't address them at all. Can you recommend a good resource?

Wow!

Nuff said.

Grand Master San D brings his NauticRap to a raftup near you!

Sam get this guy under contract for your other site before the competition finds out about this talented mariner minstrel.

Is there any competition?

Thanks Mr D.

Thanks Sandy! A uniden vhf with remote and a sturdy block of SSB radio showed up yesterday. There is a radar on a pole on the starboard stern. The base of the pole is rotted and on the pre-survey fix list. There is a Katadyn 40E in a box on the aft cockpit bench. There is a battery and some switches...

IT is alive!! Hijacking in progress.... This new boat of mine (almost) had a windlass at one time. It has a sturdy looking base on the starboard bow. It is the only place on the hull that is cracking and fugly. The deck buttons are still in place and the wiring appears intact under the skin(checked ...

Hello everyone!! It is the freaking New Guy again. In other forums, Marelon seacocks are generally abhored. On this forum, the five references, generally incidental, are benign at worst, and mostly lovey-dovey. On this new boat of mine (okay, technically not mine yet... can you visualize a pit bull ...

Does anyone have experience with 2006 Yamaha 8hp engines? These have power tilt. Is it a direct fit? If I change back to 9.9s, will there be re-engineering involved? The boat is a 2000 Capella Mk III. I think I read somewhere that the 9.9s were not available for a period of time due to not meeting e...

Brendan, You're a genius! That spiffy Tides Marine sail track system was in place with a pretty crispy (in a good way) mainsail! Zippity-do it flies up the mast and alaka-zam it slides down into its bag! Well, the end game is old school so someone has to properly flake the sail to and fro, secure it...

Thanks Gents!!

Heading to Corpus now to check on progress and poke my nose in various nooks and crannies.


Lovin' it!!

Must...ditch...rose-colored glasses....
