you could also bang your head against the wall and refocus than go out and buy a heat gun. that is what a pro would use. 100% better job, heat is applied evenly and you can put the heat gun down on the provided flat holding side of gun than pick up and work again.do you really want to go in there wi...

i used a dead blow hammer (lead hammer covered in heavy vinyl) that is the idea hit it on both sides and retighten a steel hammer like a ball pean would tend to bounce off. my humble opinion

bruce mention the method. first remove F/G wing, engine box, then you remove both end panels on gen. basically you remove all covers then disconnect mounts you disassemble that cheap generator steel frame. (i have the 4.0 Mase model) and the steel frame is deteriorating rapidly i will replace with a...

bob lico

positively take out that Mase generator without pulling the engine!!!!!! were are you located?

seriously i stop functioning at 80 degrees. i have no ambition in that heat, humidity, however, i have no problems in minus 20 degrees.i am serious you can carefully dress for o degree weather like snowmobiling leather bibs and leather jacket with a neck warmer (Dickie) what can you do beyond a pair...

bob lico

just want to add one very important step as you remember the struct support has 6 bolts that protrude thru the bronze backer plate so the kill box has a bottom reveal about 1 1/2 " all around this reveal edge is what actually sits on bilge floor and the reveal gives the box just enough to clear stru...

bob lico

unbelievable results best decision made on boat full-length piano hinges all screws in epoxy and 316 SS slam hatches and believe me they get slammed every damn time we take the boat out!!!!!! 000000000 maintenance

bob lico

ok, John lets start all over. the first job i did was the photo`s above that is cut the three section of- 3/4" Coosa 26 to size leaving 3/16" less on the side to side dimension to allow for F/G lay up. next was to turn all three pieces on there backside and layed up two layers of biaxial and one lay...

bob lico

this may be a better view.

bob lico

my hand is pointing to the gutter on the starboard side (white strip).i hope i clear up this confusion. the DECK gutter system also leads all rainwater out the scuppers with going in the bilge.

bob lico

i think something is lost here interpreting the word GUTTER in the description of deck building. when i refer to the deck gutter it means the two 4" strips that are parallel to hull running the entire length of the cockpit leading water to the scuppers. the gutters are 1/4" lower than the deck( keep...

Neil, I have you and your bride covered! cocktails for Bertram ticket holder aboard the 61' Bertram Friday night.she will be docked adjacent to long dock closest to land .wil be like an in-water boat show wear appropriate boat shoes.

bob lico

the BIG if is sailors haven although beautiful in it`s unique Sunken Forest with trees and birds indigenous to sunken forest and no other place in the world has very limited docking on July ,August weekends while Watch Hill now has 275 slips (wow) and if you can dock that Bertram in an "A" slip you ...

the feds put 2.4 million into the place they also spray for greenfly, mosquitos, and most of all beach was replenished with thousands of yards of sand.was listed as one of top ten beaches in the world. about ten miles down the beach a sunken 1800 wreck that went aground surfaced on the beach due to ...

carl someone gave some through to 31 Bertram when you dock boat the walkway is level with transom thru both tides. the restaurant is very clean and the food is good.new Tiki bar next to the restaurant. unique a/c keeps the boat at 68 in 90-degree weather. the compressor is silent under the head vani...

i moved my boat to Blue Point at Nichols point. i am directly across from the new facility at watch hill. the feds pour millions into the watch hill marina and Fire Island National Seashore.the place is perfect BBQ next to the wilderness and gather up a couple dozen clams in the low water on the wes...

the holding tank is located midway between the entrance to the V-berth (master quarters) and the steps to salon area. centered in the bilge under the floorboards.of the gangway.

bob lico

i discuss this in depth with Captain Patrick 12 years ago. unfortunately, i come across these terrible deaths as a volunteer fireman/ EMT. quite often it happens in poor people homes near the farms as they use a BBQ to heat and cook in winter. realizing carbon monoxide is odorless AND heavier than a...

bob lico

listen to mike you go buy the pretty white vinyl covered 5' chain so you don`t rust stain your foredeck and that is more than enough. you would be more than happy to find 6 to 10' of water around the anchored boats off the restaurant areas of Fire Island more like 4' !!!!!

bob lico

fire dept rescue squad, as well as SCPD, responded to the carbon poisoning deaths caused by the generator placement under the salon developed a small hole in exhaust/water hose. we did everything possible they would not respond. CHERRY GROVE, FIRE ISLAND – Two people were found dead on a boat on Fir...

replacing them with captain Patrick rudders will do absolutely nothing!!!!!!! they already have the proper surface area, as well as shape just a little thick on trailing edge changing them, will be a meaningless change for a 31 Bertram . spent the money on F/G shaft log with dripless seal.

bob lico

5/16"

bob lico

stop-----stop----- stop those are replaced rudders leave them alone go to next project!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as of today June 27th, 54 people have signed up and received tickets (available online for free ) to attend.quite a bit of publicity using the new 61 Bertram as a focal point to meet, drink.

bob lico

i have led overhead recess lights i believe four, all work perfectly and they are yours for free. about 2 1/2" in diameter, white trim,white light.

bob lico

i should explain my wiring of Phoenix; the first job is to bring your 12 volt power to a DRY area in my case there is an area in back of sliding draw as you walk in the cabin on salon bench. background port and starboard separate battery bank but parallel under emergency solenoid (never used in 18 y...

bob lico

like i indicated quite a bit harder for me to learn all these bass fishing tactics than wire a 31 Bertram!

bob lico

hmmm, bucktail teaser! thank you peter

bob lico

to be perfectly honest i don`t remember where i purchase the striped wire but it was a commercial outlet. Phoenix has many accounts with electrical suppliers from generators to specialize lightning equipment.

bob lico

the brand is Norcold the size i have to go to the boat and measure.

bob lico

peter sometimes there are such ridiculous solutions to a complicated situation such as i have shown in the photo of the panel. i install a simple ball and socket type latch on either side of the panel with brass pull handle on the top. for the eight zillion times you have to get back to add and circ...

bob lico

there is not one original wire .i strip the boat clean of all electrical even the F/G embedded original wires to navigation lights were replaced.

bob lico

the panel in the pull-down position.

bob lico

peter this is my main panel located on forward bulkhead above V-birth.the panel is recessed into the wall so the little one cannot brush against the breaker. the entire panel is on SS piano hinge and pulls down forward to work on. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/BobLico/panels003.jpg

bob lico

Phoenix will be there for sure.

bob lico

this is the view under the stern hatch the lower bilge pump in the center works off (on /off/ auto) switch on the dashboard the upper bilge pump works directly off another isolated battery bank. the high-level Aqualarm is out of sight mounted on fuel tank set to go in alarm mode when water is over l...

bob lico

ranjr---------smart!

bob lico

no, it tells me water is over the; level setting of the bilge pump mounted in the aft of boat and we have a problem that the lowest bilge pump can not keep up or not working.

bob lico

i have a aqualarm mounted in aft compartment (closed to transom ) the alarm sets off a blue light on the center console and there are no other blue lights on the dashboard so if it comes on it gets my attention.

bob lico

that is a excellent start blue seas breaker switch panel with LEDs for the bridge.wiring the bridge easy hands-on teaching for bass with flyrod real hard

bob lico

yes tony E/E , specialize electrical contractor .what i purchase from supply houses is impervious to saltwater and you can purchase products that far exceed you local or internet marine dealer. All nuclear powerhouses must use massive amounts of salt water to cool the reactor they draw the water nea...

bob lico

as usual, Mike is on top of the internet purchases. this cockpit 120 volt inlet in SS is the ONLY one to use trust me the plastic ones will arc out in a salt water atmosphere. do it right the first time! mike i have many accounts at electrical supply houses try so you should try to find FS OR FSS el...

bob lico

shore power you must search high and low you will find 110 volt shore power in stainless steel. buy it and install just aft of engine hatch on the starboard side of the boat. you CAN NOT install the 10-3 marine 600 volt wire in the 2" pipe running fore and aft on starboard side so you tie wrap along...

bob lico

peter just call or text me i can answer every possible question you can think about.

bob lico

trim tabs -----we need no sticking trim tabs all in the prop design. we be needen bow planes like a submarine! i don`t want to push the bow down i want to push bow up!!!!! no Carolina flare on a 31 Bertram why in God`s name would you purposely put the bow into an oncoming wave !!!!

bob lico

a " thousand years ago or perhaps 25 or so" Don Yost who has since past was part owner in the boat. while pasting fire island inlet notice a huge swirl and turn the boat around a few hours later a 780-pound blue marlin was landed . i have seen the mount -------huge!

bob lico

hey mike i wonder if they "keel haul" the bad guys with the chain instead of hemp line??????

bob lico

both chairs have four series of a shock absorber settings as you can see under the chair. set at the highest level you tend to fall asleep at the wheel.
