Option for Sydney Has anyone considered a raftup at Sydney Spit. It's beautiful there and there is an hourly ferry to Sydney for shopping or those who drive in.

Valve part number Sven I'll try to look it up at work tomorrow. John

solinoid valve Sven I bought 3 valves that looked just like those yesterday for a product I'm working on. They came from a plumbing supply that specizes in sprinkling and were about $13 each - very cheap fot a liquid solinoid. If it's easy to get at I'd buy a few spares, but if it is hard to...

just kidding I wish I could get her to do it. I am thinking it would be a rewarding project to try to get a great finish on the interior this winter when I don't feel too much like working outside. It sounds like you are very knowledgeable on getting a nice finish. Do you have any interior...

Naked - sounded good to me Edd I just phoned my wife and told her she needed to varnish the boat naked this week .......... and now I probably need to sleep on the boat myself tonight.

buy a crimper I bought one of the units where you put the wire and socket into it and then hit it with a hammer to make the crimp. I have used it many times over the years and it allows me to use quality ends. It's a Lenco anvil style. Indestructable and small to pack in the boat.

wish you were closer Hi Sven I would buy it from you but the shipping would be difficult and expensive to Vancouver BC. On another note - now that you have the new rudder what do you think of the change in the way your boat steers. I'm hoping it's made it easier to back up. Shamwari e-39

I did mine by the direct approach My wheel was bent when I tried to install the wheel autopilot so I rotated it to find the spot where it was bent the most and smacked it with the heel of my hand with increasing force until it started to move. I wasn't overly violent and it was straightened in...

Kiwigrip I put it on my e-39 3 years age and I would swear by it. It lasts well and where I had a stain I just added another layer and it looks like new. One thing to be careful about is that you can make the texture as aggressive as you want by the roller technique and if you really want non...

used pole I saw one in a Bellingham consignment store and that is the reason I asked. It's 17 ft long and I thought it looked huge but I quess it is about right. It has to be a 4"D aluminum tube and has a long tapered cylindrical end. I'll go and look at it again and get it if it is in good...

Can anyone tell me how to figure out the size of whisker pole I would need on my e-39. I was in a marine consignment store today and they have some at good prices, but I'm not sure what I need. I have a 110 and a 150 . thanks John

See you at the rendevous I just got slip 12b today so we look forward to seeing everyone at the rendevous John and Jennifer Gleadle e-39

Boater's Liscence Sven We have that in British Columbia and they are starting it in Washinton as well. It's very easy to pass the test - my son passed it and only studied the manual on the way to the test - and he is a reluctant boater - but that's another story. I get the feeling that the...

Looks great Sven I can't wait for a report on how it changes the boat handling.

I have to agree I have decided to keep the e-39 and upgrade the parts that need it to go offshore - and it feels like a weight off my chest to finally quit waffling back and forth. Guy - I know you think I should just get going and I would allready be gone but I have to wait for my wife to...
