I have the exact same ports on my 35. It isn't too bad of a job. I even cut my own ports by tracing the old ones on the new plexi. I upgraded from 1/8 to 1/4 plexi just to be safe, but I will say the old ones withstood some pretty rough service with breaking waves washing over the boat. Joe Del

Chuck, I don’t think it needs to be dry in there. A small hole in the bottom of the keel will drain whatever is in there every time the boat is hauled. All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise C&C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1701-B

Hi All, I made a stupid newbie mistake when we stepped the mast. In my defence it was a busy, windy, choppy day and we had to hire a crane to come to the club to step everyone's mast .. and I helped everyone, so when it came time to do my boat I was kind of on autopilot. We stepped 29 masts that d

You really should use spartite or some other type urethane like Wally showed, it makes this all so simple. If you make the right form B$ you pour, you can make a drip edge and it will keep the water out. (I will do this next time 8^) ) Regarding your mast step, that is no problem, as long as it i

Water heaters are good breeding grounds for bacteria. The anode and scale/sediment can harbor the bacteria and make any form of draining and filling ineffective. Aluminum/zinc anodes are less likely to harbor the bacteria and thorough removal of the sediment will help. Much of the bacteria will
