Andre..........did the hammer thing on both shafts,Tony good hear from you hope all is well. Thanks-Bill

Mike,.............there was someone to port and plugged in and I did look at his boat when hauled and his zincs were all good?.I use 2 zincs each shaft so I don't think both would fall off.

Need a little direction,after I hauled noticed no zincs on the port shaft all the others in place.Last season had most of the zincs gone and I repaired rear bilge wires which were hanging in bilge water.Checked boat to my port his zincs were all good,not sure where or what to look for?Thanks again t...

Bill, Check thr rubber hoses that attach to the flame arrestors,they can loosen from them.The hoses go into the valve covers and have vacuum which pull some of the gas smells away,also at the ends that go into the valve covers some will have a valve like a pvc valve on a car that could clog.Good luc...

Anybody know what material I could use to replace the rubber flap on my scuppers on my 28,doesn't look like you can buy it at any of the marine supply stores.Thanks again.....................................Bill G.

John, Not sure I can recommend S&P,had my tank made there,sent old tank and a diagram down for 165 gal. came back 147 gal. no effort what so ever to contact me or help to change the tank or for that fact I had asked for someone to come out to look at the feeds that were to high barely get deck cover...

Anyone know of or seen any differances between bottom paints like Interlux act vs say West Marine brand cpp plus both ablatives about $50 differance for a gal. started to wonder if it's worth it ?.......Thanks, Bill

Thanks for the input,in the past I've used Nu Finish which I have to say worked great.I would do 2 coats 1 by buffer 1 by hand and would last a season my complaint is that I would wind up with what I would describe as a dirt coat that seems to be retained in the Nu Finish when I clean the boat befor...

Has anybody tried a polymer polish called ReJex?,supposed to be able to use on enclosers as well as fiberglass.

Noticed a little flex where my outrigger base is when the rigger was lowered,banged around with a hammer sounded solid not sure that the fiberglass is a problem.Figuring old fiberglass ready for some re-enforcing under the deck,a plywood pad?starboard?any good ideas? Thanks in advance - Bill

Thinking about a/c for a 28,5k btu's enough or should I think 10k btu's?don't seem like anything in between unless I get heat as well.Thanks... Bill

Thanks gentlemen for the input.I think Capt. Patrick's advice with laying down some absorbing sheets(should have thought of that)is next.I did not see any oil running down the hull and the oil does look like it could have been in the area of the cooler hoses,maybe I'll get lucky for once.Any other i...
