Bev,
Simple Green and Purple Power are my two favorite cleaners. Joel has had some
good success with citrus based cleaners too. Simple Green and citrus are
probably two of the most earth-friendly cleaners, but always dispose of your
cleaning solutions responsibly.

On the topic of sheaves...mine were non-operational when I purchased my boat

I have been thinking of using a small power washer to clean my engine and bilge
prior to re-painting my Beta 28. Of course I need to seal the alternator and

I begin blasting away with the washer.

When I pulled the transmission in my Hylas, it took a gasket scraper to

crud, and the bilge pump probably would have clogged.
I would worry about water getting into the air intake and electrical
connections that are in the bi

I discovered something by accident a few years ago. I decided to clean the

Clorox and letting it slosh around. I discovered a day or two later that the
tank had leaked and nearly all the contents had drained into the

David,
Did you read this? http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/refrigeration

Hi David,
When I insulated the ice box in our C&C 27, I couldn’t imagine pulling it all
apart. I drilled a rows of holes where I would later rivet in an aluminum 1/2’
"angle iron”, and used the two-part foam from Tab Plastic. They have a unit
you wear, and mixing tips - buy several. Months
Thanks. The more I look at it the messier it gets. I'm on a mooring and
live on solar power so this has to be better than what I could do by
shooting foam into empty space between the inset and the cabinet. I know
that I have a moulded insert like Dennis describes. I know this because

I am thinking of switching over to golf cart batteries and am going nuts trying
to figure out where to put them. I think 2 might maybe fit the standard battery
compartment, but they might be too high. No way 4 fit in there. Also that is

I fixed my “keel separation” with a big socket wrench for free. Are you sure
the hull is coming apart vs. loose keel bolts, i.e the C&C smile?

What is the exact requirement for a battery box? Not "good practices" but
specific requirements? Battery boxes are always so bulky and inefficient.
But a glassed in plywood box can be made to fit very exacting and efficient
spaces.
Alternatively you could just do AGM 6v golf cart batteries.

After 20+ years my battery boxes were in pretty sad shape. The tie downs were
fine underneath them and I use AGM Northstar Group 31? Batteries. Pitched the

I’ve used a pressure washer inside the bilge. It works, but be prepared for
some overspray. I turned my 4000psi washer down to just under 2000psi. It
does a heck of a job, but can damage wiring, paint, and bilge pump switches if
you’re not careful.
Use in the engine compartment is fine, a

ABYC doesn’t get any more specific than the verbiage below. The amount of
out-gassing is usually pretty small, unless your charger is overcharging the
batteries; but hydrogen sulfide gas can be corrosive, so I’d tend to keep it
away from the diesel if you can. The vents on the tops of the ABYC
Joe,
I just added a start battery under Touché's aft dinette seat. I had
replaced the rigid fresh water tank with a bladder tank years ago. I slid
the tank outboard to create space for the battery. The install can be seen

Agreed. In all likelihood it’s the annoying but relatively harmless C&C smile.
