i need to replace the transmission control cable for port side on a flybridge boat---type 33-C---does anybody know the length? they sell them from 14'--40' in intervals of one to two feet. i would use the old one---but need it in place to pull the new one--i do not see markings on case to indicate t...

Craig Mac

If I remember correctly, in some of the earliest print ads for the 31---Bertram touted that the chines were above the water which enabled the boat to spin on a dime docking or fighting a fish.

Craig Mac

Transmission is out and at the shop.

At this time was thinking of replacing rear motor mounts--any suggestions for new ones?

Craig Mac

Capt Pat,

How many hours did this take?

How hard would it be to fabricate in stainless? I know the Bertram Riva 25's had stainless frames.

Craig Mac

I have a transmission leak in the back of the tranny-I think it is a rear seal--also have my deck out as I am replacing the tank. How difficult a job is it to replace the seal now that i have good accessability?

Any special tools needed?

Craig Mac

Capt Pat,

HP, Trans ratio, and cruise speed would be helpful as well.

I am trying to compile a listing of repower results

Craig Mac

June/July issue of Professional Boatbuilder has an article on ethanol effects--can view it on line--not too much new, but i try to read everything.

Craig Mac

Tom,

Put me down for 2 medium

Craig Mac

Does anybody know if a boat test was ever publisehed for a 31 when it was introduced to the market?

I have copies of 20 and 25 models, but never saw a 31. As it was very innovative at time of introduction 1961, would expect to see some print coverage.

Craig Mac

can you elaborate---is that a name brand---marine store?

Craig Mac

should i have them custom made with fittings and has anybody have idea of cost?

Craig Mac

replacing the fuel tank and looking for recommendations on new fuel lines--this a gas boat. I tried the search function, but it came up empty.

Craig Mac

Cleaning my stamoid fighting chair cover -used simple green ---then try to spot clean an area with some auto vinyl cleaner----seemed to work okay--but area has gotten sticky----not sure if i damaged the material--does anybody have a suggestion.

Craig Mac

Actually Raybo is referring to the rail that they installed on my boat. I am pretty sure I bought it from Richard Bertram, but it was about 8 or 9 years ago. I am not sure it is offered that way any more.

Craig Mac

bob,

the blue boat is kevin saer's , i have seen him post in a long time.

i am guessing it will be named NO PROBLEM after his dad's 31.

Craig Mac

i have a garmin 2010 unit---but am using transducer that shoots thru hull---what sensor can i buy to read temp off the raw water intake?

Craig Mac

if the Wink doesn't work---is polishing a viable option?

what is the correct procedure and product to use?

Craig Mac

Thanks again!

Craig Mac

capt Pat,

my boat is painted with imron, will Wink damage it?

was wondering if i should try some metal polishes with a a buffing ball they use on aluminum wheels

Craig Mac

I have some anadozied aluminum railing that has turned milky---is there a way to polish it?

Craig Mac

i am pretty sure that is the boat sitting at davidsons--this is the second time it is listed. although the boat is apart , the pieces are all there and it has been indoors for 15 or 20 years .

it looks like a good project boat for someone. i think it has a new tank and decks not installed.

Craig Mac

bruce,

where are you located? i fly into west palm on occasion, would love to visit.

Craig Mac

would like to know some additional details of the repower--prop size, gear reduction, shaft size, weight or equipment level of the boat--i am trying to keep track of all repowers for future reference ---

Craig Mac

i think the original panel is from stewart-warner----try doing some e-bay searches

Craig Mac

i mounted mine same as JP----on the centerline support of headliner as far foward as possible---no issues with reception---i only have a bimini top--not sure if a hard top would create any problem.

Craig Mac

Looking for a copy of article that appeared in Nov 2004 Yachting Mag---history of 31--anybody?

Craig Mac

john,

i was at Carvers last week and saw your boat in the shop--nice work.

can you share your #'s on the sea trial.

good luck.

Craig Mac

about $1000----the one i have now is about 15 years old---got my monies worth--

Craig Mac

need to replace my bench seat and contacted Pompenette-the original manufacturer----they offer it two ways---original construction and now out of starboard with removable cusions.

has anybody seen the new style?

Craig Mac

Thanks Capt Pat,

Actually the plate on my original tank has bolts around the edge--some of bolts are really not accessible as it is offset so far. Also should this original hardware be reused on a new aluminum tank?

Craig Mac

I have a Glass Tech deck--and in the center section there are two hatches--a small one forward offset to starboard side and large centered one in the stern. Would like to have fuel fill, sender unit, pickup and return all fully accessible from hatches---does anybody have measurements of location poi...

Craig Mac

The boat has been at Davidson's in Oceanside stored inside for the last 20 years---all parts are there including new glass tech deck and tank--but the boat is apart---good project boat for someone.

Craig Mac

I just hope that anybody that enjoys tuna fishing in the near future would support a CITES listing if comes up for consideration--in the grand scheme of things-the entire east coast will be under water when the ice caps melt and nobody is going to be fishing. Twenty years ago when it was first propo...

Craig Mac

Just read the March issue of Marlin -Michael Leech paints a very bleak future for this fishery. I gave up canyon fishing years ago--concentrating on the bluefin working 20-60 miles out of Jones Inlet. Needless to say, every year gets tougher and tougher. I feel like the swordfisherman of the 50"s --...

Craig Mac

Craig Mac

Craig Mac

Craig Mac

charlie,

John's No Limit---i think was George Sayer's boat that ran out of Freeport---it was called No Problem when George ran it.

I have seen Kevin Sayer post lately---did he finish the restoration of his boat?

Craig Mac

i was getting in my gsa filters--thought it was the crud in the bottom that the ethanol was breaking down.

Craig Mac

charlie,

a mint green bahia mar---sounds like the Treasure Island boat---i didn't think he finished it---Harv may know.

Craig Mac

green mint bahia mar with tower? sounds like the one out in hamtons at oakdales--i don't think it has a name. i just checked yacht world listings-- Marlin---hampton bays-bahia mar Annie M----freeport Sentinel VII---freeport Sirina---Hampton Bays---although i have seen this boat in florida at rybovic...
