I always find usefull to have 2 switches cause when runing I have one switch on 1 and the other on 2 , this means that I have 1 engine charging 1 group and the other engine the other group or in your case , each engine can charge his own battery. And you also can choose from wich group you want to c...

Check this : http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/pt/default.aspx Its direct on the pc as long as you have an internet conection. Or you can have a AIS receiver connected to your VHF antena and to your laptop. Its very easy and not expensive to have this on any boat as long as you have a laptop and the ...

A friend of mine has a gps like that and he told me that several things can happen to make that fault : - Problem with the gps antenna , because its gone bad or the sensor could have the weather seal broken and became bad on the inside. - The 1A fuse for the antenna goes bad many times and sometimes...

Hi Bob , you just have to promise that you keep rebuilding your Bertram!!!!! I made a search about it on US and it seems that you have something similar in California and its called GRAPPA and is also made from the leftovers in the wine making process: grape seeds, stems and skins. Well,after the pr...

Well the horse is from a friend but its almost like mine. The truck is a 1/2 from 95 with a 5.9 magnum runing on gas and LPG and I buy it to a guy that bring it from Canada. Assembled in Mexico, Lago Alberto. Its a hell of a truck. I didnt mind at all if it was an Hemi. Well Bob the mounts should be...

Hi, well she handles very well. When I buy her, long time ago, I replace the fuel tank by another that only handles 500 liters and I remove side water tanks and place a fresh water tank down in the midle forward the engines this reducing the weight on the back. The water line in the stern is just ar...

Thanks Bob , yes Loctite has a distributor here and they also say that I can also use the Loctite 3295 for bonding structural parts.
I stay with the PL cause its not for anything structural and its for the inside.
Thanks again and all the best

Today I found the PVC plates that I was looking for ( I think ) , they call them by some brand names: Komaplus, Komatex and Komacel and for instance the Komaplus have a density of 0.45kgs/cm3 with several dimensions and with tickness between 1 mm to 20 mm. They say that can be bond with polyester re...

When you say PVC foam board that is the same as : polyurethane foam, right ? Maybe is a silly question but you know that here, sometimes to find something needed to the boat is worst then find the prime minister. ( and I prefeer to find things for the boat then the PM).) I have been doing "non struc...

Congrats Bob, I still have lots of work to arrive to that point but seeing you cranking the engines gives me more strenght to go ahead.
Enjoy.

A friend of mine in China says that , the chinese people eat everything with 4 legs exception only for chairs and tables.
My opinion when eating there is : better dont ask what is before eating or you go to bed starving.

Talk with Giff Plume cause he has a swimm platform that can be closed or open by 2 cables and that could avoid the bumping of waves like Brewster says. You can raise down when you need it or you can have it up.
All the best

My VHF battery is placed higher then the other batteries about 1 meter high and is used only for the radio. And the circuit has an isolation thing only for charging purposes.

Well the numbers I have are 313-897 so should be a Hard Top with hull number 897 however, on the original papers come stated as Express Cruiser.
I really dont care too much about that. Its from 1969 , its a Bertram and as a curiosity even the back side of the mirror on wc as stated April 1969.

My question is (maybe not the proper name) but between the outside colar of the steering tube and the hull there are a spacer (seal) made of resin that its not parallel. Also on the outside shaft support a square spacer also not parallel. Can I made those spacers parallel looking to the fact that I'...

luis

Hi Gplume , I like that bath platform and the way you do it, moving it up. Do you have any sketch or drawing or photo that enlight me to do something like that. I like to have one like that cause sometimes is not very good to have it fixed due to the waves. Thanks

luis

You are all right . The Vt are way to big for my boat. The 6BT is the right choice for me and also have a look and if not in Portugal , in Spain I can get easy parts for the 6BT. The weight of the custom cabin I have is not too much and if it runs well with the old V8 - 185 should run very well with...

Thanks for all your replies. My problem is that the previous owner put one sheet of plexi and he fill all the window with sykaflex. Now I want to go back with a 2 windows that can be open. I go to remove all the syka and then I believe I can find those screws. Thanks again.

I know that the previous owner made some changes. Now, I'm trying to take the side windows out and I just can't see how to do it. Is there any screws that I don't see ? Before I do something heavy can anyone tell me something about this ? I spend more time reparing old repairs badly done then doing ...

I think you must do some helm on a B31 with diesels, normal and litle wind wave weather and, that belong to a guy that don't want to sell. After that, if you feel "it" then no matter what costs the maintenance you'll buy. If you don't feel "it".... don't buy. I have a B31 and 2 other small boats. I ...
