I did a similar process with the PO. It lasted about 10 years then started leaking a small amount. The caulking had hardened and was not sealing well against the chain plate. The caulking came away from the SS easily, was a job scraping it away from the deck. I tried a marine silicon based seal

They are likely there to hold down the bedding plate. Sometimes you have screws and pins which can be lifted up for rebedding around the chainplates. > On Jan 31, 2017, at 5:36 12PM, RANDY via CnC-List > wrote: > > Does anybody know what the heck these pins in C&C chainplates are for? > > h

I drain mine in the fall and use it in the snow blower - gas from an Atomic 4. There are various opinions on how much condensation is even possible at lower temperatures and small amounts of air pumping back and forth. http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/fuel_tankt_condensation http://www.yachtsu

Thanks Josh, and Danny, and Mike. Dennis C. is out here in Colorado from Louisiana for a few weeks to do some skiing, so he gave me some free consulting today (well, I did take him to the local Cajun joint the other week and buy him a po'boy and a couple beers, which was the least I could do).

If you use heating oil at home, then I would dump it into my heating oil tank. Then clean the tank out as best you can and start off fresh. I like the Startron on gasoline, has kept several-year-old 10% alcohol laden gas fresh for my atomic 4. On Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 12:38 PM, Gary Nylander via Cn
