Hello, has anyone seen this setup before? The stuffing box seems to be fine. Repacked. There is a constant drip where the stainless tube enters the beam/stuffing box (second picture). It appears that sealant has worn down between the tube and the bronze stuffing box. The boatyard naturally...

Hello all, I'm in the market for a Mainship 350/390 1997-2005 in the Pacific Northwest. If someone has one they'd like to sell, please send me a PM. Looking for a well maintained boat. Thank you!

This boat pulled up behind us tonight in Cornet Bay. It's a 2002 with obvious pride of ownership...... Some day. :)

Hello all, I have a Ford Lehman 80 and my father has a Ford Lehman 120. We're both looking for someone in the Anacortes/La Conner area who has experience painting engines. If someone has a referral for me, let me know. We aren't looking for a boat yard..... we're looking for a guy who does...

My Dad is selling his 10' Avon hard bottom Dinghy, Weaver Leaver set up and 2007 Yamaha 2 stroke 15hp for $2,800 all in (no trailer). (he purchased a Boston Whaler) Located in La Conner, WA. This is not junk, everything is in excellent condition. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Thought I would pass this deal along from Woot (Amazon affiliate). If someone needs a low cost solution alternative to the Honda EU2000, this may be what you're looking for. As of right now there is only 8 hours left for this deal, or until the supplies run out. Shipping for Woot is a flat...

Question for the Lehman owners. My current water pump that I just took off my Lehman is the Jabsco 5850-0001 pump. a few questions for you. 1. Does anyone know the model number for the Johnson alternative and Is it a straight swap? 2. Is the Jabsco 5850-0001 the original pumps that the...

My 30' Tung Hwa last was bottom painted in 2008 2 coats - 3 along waterline with Woolsey ablative. My diver states that my bottom is very clean with no barnacles and the slime wipes right off. I do have him come out 3 times a year. I don't want to waste money by prematurely painting. Also...

So, my literature I have for my 500fg pointed to the RK 11-1669 T-Handle gauge as an accessory for my Racor. Finding a deal, I took the plunge only to find out that this gauge WILL NOT work with the 500FG Turbine and only works for the 900 and 1000 series (threads are too long for the 500FG)...

Just thought I would post this for those that need an easy (didn't say right way :) solution to an old ugly countertop. This is my fathers boat. He needed the sink and the faucet replaced on his 1978 CHB. My mother chose a hand made copper sink with a pretty cool lavatory style faucet (to...

Cetol Touch Up Hello all, I have a question for those who use Cetol. The Previous Owner states that he applies "Cetol Light". The toe rail has spots of uneven Cetol where I can see a different layer underneath. The layer underneath has much more "grain" to it than the Cetol, which has lost...

So, I have had this beard stain on the bow of my Hull from the water lapping up on my boat. I tried a few things, CSR, scrubbing, scrubbing and more scrubbing. After doing about an hour of research on the net, I found a few people that use "the works" toilet bowl cleaner from your local...

For those with an FL80/FL120, how often do you change the twin fuel filters on the motor? I have a Racor filter that is changed 1-2 times per year, the fuel filters on the engine haven't been replaced since 8/07. I am sure it's due, but how often are others switching these out? What is the...

I have to repack my stuffing box on both my rudder and my shaft. I know the rudder won't leak, but what will I be dealing with on my Trawler shaft? Will it be a ton of water coming into the boat as I remove the existing packing? Do I need to wait until I pull it out of the water? Any advice...

FF mentioned this in and old conversation as something I should think about doing. I have 2 steel tanks with inspection ports and drain plugs at the opposite corner from the fuel line. What is the process of installation of these valves to drain water? Does anyone have a link to where I can...

OK, I purchased it. :hide: I think we all have heard the pro's and con's of thrusters. Rather than beat that dead horse again, I would like to speak out about my experience with this 'kit'. I chose the Sideshift stern Thruster due to the ease of installation (in the water) and minimal...

I have a 30' Tung Hwa Clipper sedan named Adelaide. The mast on Adelaide is old and tired. It has stays that limit the available use of the upper deck and doesn't fit under the roof of my covered slip. The pressure it places on the upper deck is visible in the inside of my cabin. With that...

First off, I am new to Taiwan Trawlers.* My wife and I purchased a Tung Hwa 30' Clipper Trawler a few weeks ago and are in love with it.* We got an excellent deal on it, but the tanks are original.* Although I don't plan on doing anything right away, I always like to have a plan in place. Has...
