The boat I have shared with a friend is being sold. How do I unfriend from
this list. It has been great but time to move on.

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and
every one is greatly appreciated
In the DFW area that boat would sell for about $9,000 however it would not be
in that good condition.

Good question. I always put some caulking to prevent any moisture from seeping
through the screw holes.

I am not recommending learning on a sailboard but it teaches you how to adjust
a sail. Only on a sailboard do you feel the pressure of the wind on a sail and
how you have to adjust for the direction of the wind. Like I said before, I

Most water pumps can be rebuilt. I would guess that all you need is a new

I have heard that the best way to dry an electrical item is to put it in an
oven at low heat. I have a drill motor like yours that I bought on sale at Ace

the motor you are not at a total loss.

Yes, it is mostly wishful thinking as some of us learned the hard way. Unless

I like the KISS method. Use a multimeter to check the battery when fully
charged. It should be about 12.5 volts. Check it when the engine is running
and it should be 13.5 volts or higher. If the battery cannot be recharged to
12.5 volts, it is probably bad. That is when you pull it out and

You should have no problem selling your boat at that price. I hope you find a
buyer who will appreciate all you have done. My past experience has shown that
many, if not most, boat buyers are ignorant. I sold my Columbia 26 MKII for

My friend has a sail cover with eyelets on each side in lieu of what I call

I think what is happening is that either a shroud or a stay has hit resonant
frequency. I think that either tightening or loosing it will eliminate the
noise. Resonant frequency is the natural frequency of an object. This happens
to my wife when she gets mad at me and is wound up tight.

I agree. We can learn a lot from this because sites like this cover many
problems. It also makes us closer to the person doing the job. We also can
laugh at their mistakes and remember when we did the same thing.
