Has anyone used Elite Shrink wrap in Brick NJ Thanks

wgiarratana

Thanks for all the input been using 3m scotch guard as well as Smoove which is a very high gloss but can be streaky and almost makes a season. Capy does the Meguire last a season?.

wgiarratana

Probably a silly question but has anyone used a non streaky wax?. Thanks

wgiarratana

wgiarratana

wgiarratana

Sierra risers for a closed cooling system ok?

wgiarratana

When I shut off the unit there is a clicking noise which has been there since the install, would anyone know what the click is shutting down ?. I’m try to head off an issue the click has turned into a click and vibration noise like something is about to come loose. The unit is working fine except fo...

It was totally redone white topsides and a grey hull no outriggers but other than the outboards looked like a normal 55

wgiarratana

Hit the Stuart show today and the hit of the show among all the cc’s was a beautifully redone 42 although the the 55 Ocean redo with 4 300 hp Yamahas on a bracket was a close second. If I knew how to post a pic I would. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it.

Happy New Year to all, would anyone know what the closest Awlgrip white would be for a 73/74 28?. Used Imron last paint job.

wgiarratana

Is it fairly common to see some bulkheads where they meet the hull when the old 28’s are on the hard? Thanks

wgiarratana

Just pulled my props and saw that one of the cutlass bearings is more towards the edge of the strut then the other might have been that way but can it work its way down the shaft?. I checked and there’s little to no play with the shaft.Thanks for any input.

wgiarratana

Anyone in NJ have a mobile fiberglass repair guy?

wgiarratana

I’m in Toms River did check with Holtz seemed very nice but I believe it’s a different owner then I years past

wgiarratana

wgiarratana

Thanks for all the input think Bruce is on the money anyone redone/glassed back in the tabs that hold the deck to the hull?,any suggestions or advise appreciated

wgiarratana

Thanks Bruce can I take off the side panels and lay some glass down where the connect or do I have to rip up the deck?

wgiarratana

About a foot above the water line no delaminating it’s more a bulge out it’s definitely where the cockpit deck would meet the hull sides same forward where the v-berth meets the hull -previous post 28 hull side

wgiarratana

I took a couple of pics but they where very hard to see I don’t think it would work to much reflection

wgiarratana

Hi guys I posted this once before and luckily had a few respond. The ripples that was explained to me was the bonding/epoxy breaking loose they have become a little more noticeable question is there a fix ? Is it a structural problem? The general consensus at the time was it was strictly cosmetic an...

Trying to get out a nasty bird crap stain out of white Stamoid tried Spray Nine but didn’t put a dent in it any suggestions what might work? Thanks in advance

wgiarratana

Happy Memorial Day all, how does the wood trim around the cabin door attach to the bulkhead on my 28?. Have a creaking noise when we’re rocking on anchor I’m sure there’s a little rot at the bottom the noise sounds like it’s coming from the wood trim?. Any thoughts appreciated.

wgiarratana

Tony, not sure I saw it too

wgiarratana

Has anyone in NJ used Keith/Univeral Fibergkass?

wgiarratana

Thought about the 3m as well as finding maybe a tape that I could wrap the lines to cut down the abrasion ? Did find sheepskin wraps for dock lines has anyone tried them? Saw them on Chafe Pro website.

wgiarratana

My transom Gelcoat is wearing with the dock lines crossing has anyone seen other than the usual chafing guards possibly a non abrasive cover for dock lines that would keep the Gelcoat from wearing? Thought about possibly not crossing the lines? Thanks for any input

wgiarratana

Yea did that before I installed the new vent

wgiarratana

Thanks Carl forgot to mention I did install a new vent

wgiarratana

Just replaced the o-ring that was leaking by the shift cables and now when I check the trans fluid after running then shutting down at the dock when I pull the dipstick it’s releasing pressure where the dipstick just about pops out in my hand any idea what direction I need to go? Has anyone had to r...

wgiarratana

Hey Rawleigh I have Boat US as well on my 74 were you able to find out if we’ll still be covered? Hoping we are grandfathered in my renewal is in July Thanks Bill

wgiarratana

Hi Tony haven’t seen anything on the Bertram site but it’s a good idea I’ll give them a call. I’d post a pic of it but not sure how to it’s pretty cool and have had quite a few people notice and start the Bertram conversation in fact at the Miami boat show last year one of the sales people saw it an...

wgiarratana

Several years back I bought a men’s belt with Bertram and the logo all around the belt from Bertram, has anyone seen something like it being sold aftermarket?

wgiarratana

Thank you Kroos1 for the pics gonna try your route and pull the helm wheel the only difference looks to be my steering fill is behind the wheel not sure what how that will work but I will give it a try vs being the monkey under the helm I almost can fit threw the doors thanks again.

wgiarratana

Happy New Year all, want to replace all my gauges on my 28 other then crawling behind the dash is there an easier way to get them out? Is it possible to remove the helm panel from the front? Thanks for any input Bill

wgiarratana

A buddy of mine is having an ac issue it’s a Marine Air unit and is showing a code -A08 looked on line but haven’t found any codes hopefully someone might have an owners manual or know where he can find the codes. Thank you all.

wgiarratana

Can Gortex be used for rudder packing? For some reason I seem to recall seeing somewhere that it shouldn’t be used.

wgiarratana

Anyone know who Charlie H from AC rendevous used for the Bertram boarding mats? I think it was a very nice lady from NJ

wgiarratana

Sorry marker poles are missing

wgiarratana

Talked to my sailboat neighbor he said the danger buoy is because the channel marker pokes are missing.

wgiarratana

Any local guys around Toms River know what the danger buoy might be at the mouth of the river?

wgiarratana

Starboard side trans slight clunking noise going into reverse AFTER the 1st shift into reverse.When leaving the dock and hitting reverse the initial time no clunk. Trans was rebuilt 4 years ago because of a rattle which was a broken spring. Fresh fluid every year not burnt engine runs fine good idle...

wgiarratana

Hey guys finally able to take another look and I also have some forward like v-berth back more noticeable on the starboard side and along where the cockpit deck would attach but I think they have become more noticeable this year. I saw them blocked thinking because It was on the hard but is sounds l...

wgiarratana

Hey JH are your ripples in the cockpit deck area like from the engine box/deck back? Sounds like Prestons is more forward. Thank you all much appreciate the input.

wgiarratana

Hey Preston thanks not sure if I described it right but it does look like a ripple from the inside out like the deck/hull liner joint line would be mine basically is a a straight line/ripple running from the deck area in back if the engine box step up back almost like the deck is pushing outward in ...

wgiarratana

Good company very helpful and responsive as well as good price they were less then anyone local including shipping. My panels did exactly the same with the bottom coming apart. Just traced t...
