    Creaking sound and feel

    Hello, I’ve noted over the years a kind of creak or pop sound on the starboard side of the cockpit at the cabin bulkhead. Never thought much of it at sea in waves. Never felt it much at anchor till now. Conditions are less than optimal. 45° swell rocks the boat. Mostly gentle. But we know...

    'Clunky' Sound in Rudder

    Was at the helm of a friend's Ericson 38 a few days ago (I own a Tayana 37) and kept hearing a clunking sound under my feet, especially if I turned the wheel quickly. I crawled down and looked at the quadrant, which by way of a cursory inspection, looked good and did not appear to be slipping...

    "Sound" advice needed!

    Hello All, I'm in the process of R-n-R'ing the 5432 in my E38 with a used engine. In the process of removing the engine several other things are receiving attention including the lack of sound insulation. There is essentially NO sound insulation on my boat. The factory stuff was only...

    Vinyard Sound Local Knowledge Wanted

    Looking at the charts it appears as though one could plot a course from Nantucket Harbor to Cuttyhunk that took you between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard through Muskeget Channel. It looks like it could be a bit dodgy too with 6 1/2 foot draft. Obviously timing the tide would be important too...

    Puget Sound: South: Colvos Passage?

    Summary: I'm wondering if anyone takes this route (north) out of Tacoma or do they stick to the shipping lanes. Location: West side of Vashon (vs. East). Features: I've read that the current runs north regardless of ebb or flood tide. Issues: I'm wondering what issues there might...

    Saturday on the Sound

    It doesn't get any better than this. There was a fresh breeze from the south west, and the flag on the staff was fluttering...I fired up the diesel, cast off the lines, and headed out into the sound...no deadline, no expectations, no worries. Once clear of Lyle pont, I headed into the breeze...

    Kiwiprop owners sound off please!?!

    Hey, I'm looking to spend my money on a nice upgrade and a feathering prop would do nicely. The Kiwiprop seems a nice product, simple, effective, etc. It also got a great review in the latest PS. www.kiwiprop.co.nz So: Who has one? How do you like it? Whats it installed on? Who did you...

    Puget Sound: North: Port Gamble Bay: Anchorage and Ashore

    Summary: Port Gamble Bay and the town of Port Gamble, although a historic and interesting place, is not a popular boating destination because of its lack of a marina or other pleasure boating-related shore facility. The town is the location of the late Pope & Talbot Sawmill, recently closed...

    Race to the Straits- Puget Sound

    I know that it is a ways off, but anyone interested in a really fun race/party in the Puget Sound should really consider the Sloop Tavern Race to the Straits on May 1 and 2. Briefly, the race is open to single or double-handed boats. The race is time on distance, so the slowest boats start...

    Sound Proofing Help

    My 35-3 has minimal sound proofing overall with material located on the removable top and face cover only. Consequently she is rather noisy in the cabin and less but annoying in the cockpit. The port and starboard sides of the engine compartment have absolutely no padding material. Here we...
