I used to use nylon lock nuts for almost everything – until I had a couple big
ones seize up. I’m much more selective these days.

I got the stbd track back on just in time for rain tomorrow. I never
thought I would use an entire roll of butyl but I'm getting close. If I
had pulled the port track I would have been in trouble. I couldn't
understand exactly why the OEM used 3" machine screws instead of 2" but

So if you were following a previous post about dirty fuel and stuffing box here
is where it ended up.
In both cases we believe operator error.
In terms of the dirty fuel the tank wasn't spotless but it wasn't that bad as
was the primary filter. We suspect a two step problem both related to ai
Just as important, when you are done, reset the combination to something far
from the actual combo (not just the 1st or last digit) and something you will

boat because the key is with you miles away. A phone call to get the combo

Luke,
Congratulations on your new boat. The 35-III is a great boat. I day sailed and
raced my 35 for five years and loved every minute I was on the water. I used
the inboard genoa track you mentioned in for the #1 in light air to point a
little higher. I had a second lead I just snapped on the s
