Thanks Morgan, My wife said the hats arrived and look great. I am out of town, that's why the late response. Thanks again, Jack

Paul, I'll try and get some pictures when I get back down to the boat this weekend. Jack

Well, I was finally able to remove the rudder today. It was a pain. I couldn't get the radial drive wheel off. I tried numerous things over the last few days to get the bolts loose but nothing worked. Nothing worked because all of the stainless screws were corroded to the aluminium wheel. I...

Thanks, I'll look into that next time I'm at the boat.

Hope Everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I was hoping that someone would be able to advise me on servicing and maybe removing my rudder. I have a 32-200. When in a following sea the rudder tends to rattle around a bit in the tube, that is what I would like to stop/prevent. I am trying to...

barrier coat I am in the process of applying a barrier coat. I am currently removing all the old bottom paint, down to the gel coat. I would like to apply the barrier coat over the gel coat. I have many small, pimple-like, blisters on the hull. All of the blisters are drained, the boat has...

As for the TAFG recesses....I used a Dremel Roto Tool to route out a small limber hole in the lowest corner of each of the recesses. I did this rather than go to the trouble of glassing all of them over.

Glad you were able to correct your overheating issue. I wasn't so lucky. My coolant kept disappearing, I finally checked the heat exchanger- bingo! The fresh water was mixing with the raw water and being shot overboard, i.e.- new heat exchanger. Changing zincs is much cheaper than changing heat...

Mort is right on the money I dealt with the same issue. I kept thinking that some how the mast boot was not sealing correctly. However, when I tested the boot with a hose no water came down the outside of the mast after it entered the boat. The problem would only present itself while it was...

Depending on the type of SS the screw is made of it will not be magnetic.

I went to school there. I was on the dingy team, which is a totally separate organization from the offshore team. However, I did race with the offshore team on occasion. I will say that while the people who run the offshore program are not the most proficient racers they do not cut corners with...

I installed an AC unit just forward of the nav station. The unit and the pump are both in that compartment. I installed a seacock in that location also. The two cold air vents face forward and toward the galley. To provide enough circulation for return air I modified the lower nav station...

Started out on my parents CS36. Then moved on to racing Lasers, 420's and FJ's in high school and college.

To separate the two halves of the window you will have to drill out the four circular indentions near the edge of each half of the frames. There are two of these indentions on each half. They hold an alignment shim, made of plastic, in place. Once the indentions are drilled out the shim should...

That's a nice looking boat. That boat has been listed in YW for over a year. I remember seeing the listing when I was in the market to buy in Feb 07. So, the seller might just take your offer. Good Luck.
