Thank you capt. Pat and Nav. the next pictures show the other problem. the covering boards on the strb side have lifted. so there will be a difference in height. how can I get the right amount of epoxy under the covering boards and when I clamp it down do I risk cracking them ? the white wedge was n...

A friend of mine is having new electronics installed on his boat(not a Bertram). After the installation, he wants to paint the console and interior of the fly bridge. any suggestion on pain he should use. thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

I found it under building tips, the instructions print out, the diagram only prints a small portion not the complete diagram, russ

Russ Pagels

Pat if you would please post the diagram of the bonding of our boats .. thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

Joe you may not have to replace the dyna plate . give it a swipe with some sand paper if it comes up bronze you should be good to go.I don't have one on my current boat, but other ones I did. It is used to ground the electronics, and is usually found in the bottom of the hull..Russ

Russ Pagels

now that is really cool, nice job

Russ Pagels

I think ones is a zinc the the captain said the one to port looks like a dyna(sp) plate ...Russ

Russ Pagels

Harry ,sorry for the loss, but your bringing her back very fast good luck. as every one has said we will help where we can...Russ

Russ Pagels

Well the job is done,,I had to grind both of them off. If they don't come off in 30 min. go to the grinder. I think that they were original 1972 bearings. thanks again for the help guys...Russ

Russ Pagels

Thanks guys, what about any air hammer, instead of a cold chisel or a grinder to break it up? ...Russ

Russ Pagels

Thanks Pat, I'll give the the nut cracker a try. can you cut though the pillow block with the angle grinder? Bruce, yes, there were two. I didn't look for them on my old boat and that was fun..thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

Thank you Patrick, will the hammering damage the thru hull for the rudder shaft? and can a large nut cracker be used on the inner race? and this my friends is why we have to keep the doors open on this site. give early and often. thanks Capt. Russ

Russ Pagels

OK , back to work. I' m in the process of replacing the pillow block bearings(what the shaft of the rudder rides on, on top of the rudder shelf). For the last 2 day I have been trying to remove this bearing , with out any luck. It has been PB blasted(read liquid wrench but better) and broken one whe...

Russ Pagels

To be polite those that can will and those that can't or won't, will not. That is the way of life. I have been on the site for a for a some time, but just ask a lot of questions, to which I get a lot of very good answers. If you own a Bertram of any size or for that mater any boat this forum the bes...

Russ Pagels

Thanks Pete, as usual great information. Good luck on your up coming operation. Russ

Russ Pagels

Thanks Pat, checks in mail.do we get oak leaf clusters for every year. Russ

Russ Pagels

Russ Pagels

there calling for 3 to 6" of show for Morehead city NC. Looks like I didn't move far enough south. But it's still better that Long Island...Russ the cold

there calling for 3 to6

Russ Pagels

Bob, if you launch the ice boat, would you post a picture. My dad would get a kick out of seeing one of them again. he used to race them on the great south bay many years ago .He grew up in Sayville, and was 100 years old last September. thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

Bruce, the tornado was appx. 4 mile from them so they should be good...Russ

Russ Pagels

Charlie, thanks for the call. the tornado hit about 1/2 mile to the east of us, it took out one condo ,and went to the main land and did more damage unsure at this time how much. going over to the main land now I'll know more later. Russ

Russ Pagels

Thanks guys, done and done..Russ

Russ Pagels

Should you spray the entire engine with corrosion X. I have it mixed with 1/3 lacquer thinner so it can be sprayed. on a cold engine, warm, I don't think a hot engine would be a good idea, any thoughts, thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

thanks Pete, still raining, still pumping. I'll check to see who sells Johnson pumps. sorry to hear to about you knee. check out wake med in NC. they do good work ,wife just had some work done to her knee. Russ

Russ Pagels

I replaced the aft bilge pump this summer. AS we are having a wet spell nt the moment, I thought I would see how it was doing. It wasn't. so got the sump pump out ,and pumped the water out. the pump(sump) is a rule. As I remember there was a discussion of a different brand of pump that was better ,m...

Russ Pagels

thanks for all of your help...Russ

Russ Pagels

May you run with the tide, you will be missed Walther, RIP

Russ Pagels

John, very nice, and very clean. one of the best I've ever seen. good luck with her...Russ

Russ Pagels

Hey a quick question on my Cummins 6bta 250hp engines. Cummins has a great site the
cummins quickservice online. my question is with my engines, is it the water jacket after cooled or the sea water after cooled. I think it is the jacketed but not sure. thanks for your help...Russ

Russ Pagels

I have a High tide lift and the 10" bunks are inboard of the shafts. any more out board and the hull would sit on the I beams. If I used a setup like Kevin, I would not be able to launch or recover at low tide. 10 years two boats and no problem....Russ

Russ Pagels

thanks Rawleigh, I thought there was a quick and easy way to test for it..Russ

Russ Pagels

Patrick, I have a tendency to over compensate to be safe. thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

Is 50 hours about right for the oil and filter change, also fuel filters. the boat has Cummins 6bta .thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

Thanks Pat. Thought I remembered a home made kit some one had made up . thanks again. Russ
