Sounds familiar..... Google 'Dockside stray voltage". I would NEVER change a zinc in my marina by myself. Sorry to hear about the passings, I lost my next door dock neighbor to cancer last summer. It changed the feel of the dock forever.

Minney's has a back room with all the controls in them. I found a complete set there TWICE, one for my next door neighbor. Both times, the 'person' on the phone told me (after a long wait on hold) that nothing like that. Find someome local to them to go in, it's a small room back past the...

Loren; So sorry to hear this. Several years ago, a good friend had just completed a move from one house to another and was setting up his garage. His 1967 Corvette was in the garage, with the hood up, and the air cleaner removed while he replaced the air filter. He reached into a file cabinet...

Race Update. They won. Geez, they won their class. The results are now posted on the PV07 website. I'm sure Jim will post when he gets back stateside!

I have personally used two of the mentioned surveyors and both were good. I saw an ad in the last three weeks advertising slips for rent in Santa Barbara. One was 45', the others were smaller. I'll see if I can find it.

Man, I hope you found shelter. I am in the slip in King Harbor, it is Wednesday, and I have seen several gusts over 60 knots here. Several heels (in the slip) of over 20 degrees. Saw outside crossing over the hill on the way in to the marina this morning, and is pretty solid breaking seas...

And please do that on a frequency that is not used for communications, thank you!

No matter how challenging our old boats can be, I have never been happier than when I have overcome some flaw and made it to the anchorage. It's what keeps us young.

It's still doing that? I thought the riser repair fixed that. That is just too weird. I can't say I remember it ever doing that, but then I amlost never ran it under sail. Motorsailing (main only) was when there was no wind.

Thanks Pat, I forgot about that.

My A4 used to do the exact same thing. What I finally discovered was that the coil (hard mounted to the block) had been slowly failing (running hot) and the decreased cooling at idle was the final straw. If you cannot touch the case of the coil after the engine shuts down (turn off the ignition...

Congrats! Is so good to see the old girl doing so well. You guys have a lot to be proud of!

Yes, It's mine. I have bought a bigger boat and need to see this one find a new home. Michael. item 4527590361

Up and down that coast..... I have been up and down that coast 40 or more times in my life... Have had only 3 nice trips in all those passages. Have tried inside, outside, you name it. The only 'secret' is not to be in a hurry. Be ready to gunkhole your way north. If there was a common...

Welcome to the board, and to Ericson world! If you get up to King Harbor, there are a lot of Ericsons up here. Michael.
