Been sitting on a friends boat in Titusville for the past week, either fixing
and provisioning, or waiting for weather. Didn't quite freeze here but got down
to 36 F a few times. Cold and wet, not how I usually picture Florida weather.

A few weeks ago I helped the owner install a solar system on a 35 foot

I don't know, but I can tell you one choice which does not work for long, and
that is EPDM foam rubber weather stripping tape. I used that to try and at
least partly seal my lazarette lids, and the result was as you describe.
Permanently compressed and useless.

The pins that hold the blades are tapered stainless steel. Once you have
removed the set screws, they should be easy to drive out, but make certain that
you have all of the set screws removed. Mine had 2 short set screws in each

Sorry to hear that Stu.
I know what getting broken in feels like.
I don't have any faith that the London police will recover any of your property
either.
The things they are good at "recovering", were never missing in the first
place.

The headliner panels for my new old boat are completely missing, which is a

You could also try arranging some white paper towels on a cookie sheet or bits
of plywood under the engine. Pumps are a particular candidate for suspicion in
my opinion, especially when temperature changes appear to be a factor.

Does anyone know for certain what species the wood veneer would be on the

time on this list, and certainly the fids, hand rails, and exterior trim wood
is teak, but the plywood veneer looks an awful lot like mahogany

John,
I am interested in the autohelm, and maybe the Furuno too. A few more
details like which model of autohelm controller and associated equipment would
be helpful. Please contact me off list if you would rather. I am in the
process of fixing up a much neglected and bare bones 36.
The correct approach in my opinion. I always figured that the whole point to
having straight pipe threads in the first place was so that you could make
something like a compression flange fitting in one part and then cut a regular
tapered thread on the end.
Makes a lot of sense for tanks, and
Contact Gori. They can supply you with replacement pins, but they need to know
