I’ve never heard or imagined anything so strange. First, the shaft seal is a
good foot or more below the waterline. Pieces of wood generally float—so they
would normally be near the surface of the water. And then have a piece of wood
lodge between the stainless and graphite seal on top
A failure of the hose (or it’s clamps) that connects the stuffing box to the
boat would suck too!
I think there are a lot more things on a boat to worry about…

What is going to make the seawater circulate through the engine? Are you going
to the raw water pump to circulate seawater through the engine’s cavity? I
would think that the volume of seawater circulated would need to be greater
than the antifreeze/water mixture normally in the closed
I really like AquaMap—I mainly use it for route planning. I don’t like to use
my iPad where it could be exposed to water, like in the cockpit. You might
want to look on eBay for a newer iPad.

A composting toilet has MUCH less odor than any marine head. The only reason
for "not completely composting" is that it would take too long. We change our
solids container every 3 weeks (2 of us) while we're cruising and it looks like
a very dark soil except for the most recent additions.
I w
It is quite possible (and it has happened to mine after changing the water
heater) to have a pocket of air on the glycol side that prevents circulation of
the glycol. To solve this, remove one end of the hose and fill it with the
glycol/water solution and then re-attach the hose. At this point
I can speak from experience on my LF38. Your problem is most likely a
misalignment in the upper rudder bearing--the one mounted right below the helm
mounted with 4 bolts. The correction is probably best performed out of the
water. Simply loosen the four bolts & move the bearing until the stee
Mild steel structure inside the rudder is BAD!

The metal grid structure inside the rudder is very important. On our C&C’s this
structure is made from stainless steel plates that are welded to the stainless
steel rudder shaft. Tartan 37’s are known to have a problem with their carbon
steel internal rudder plates that were welded to the stain
I replaced the rudder on my LF38 about 12 years ago. I bought the replacement
rudder from South Shore and had it shipped to my boatyard in Maryland.

Yes, allowing the anchor line to simply lay on the rollers is fine—in fact you
don’t even need a chafe guard most of the time.

I can’t help you with the cable length since my boat is different but I can
recommend replacing it with a twisted cable (like a wire stay) instead of a
solid cable. Good luck!

I’ve had my autopilot for probably 20+ years with the Type 1 linear actuator
directly attached to the quadrant with no issues. The quadrant attachment is
reinforced with aluminum plates. We live aboard and cruise up and down the ICW
and to/from the Bahamas. I think your worries are unfounded.
I applied cut & trimmed carpet pieces to mine about 15 years ago—still holding
up strong!

Josh was correct in that PEX and QEST are different and my experience was with
the QEST piping originally supplied on my boat. It leaked quite frequently
over the early years and, unless you live aboard like we do, you would probably
never notice it. We noticed it through the cycling of the fr
I replaced my fresh water systems in several steps—my main goal was to get rid
of PEX and to use standard hoses, standard hose fittings, and good clamps. Our
situation is quite different that most of the boaters on this list. We live
aboard full time and we cruise south every winter—so, we don
