    Best practice needed...

    Not live aboard but staying overnight more. We have an ABYC propane locker properly vented. Every time we’re done with the cooktop, I shut the gas off at the bottle under the cowl of the flybridge. I’m OCD. Everything is tight. Shutting off after every use necessary?

    Mystery Machine...

    Our boat has a Jabsco water pressurization unit several feet from the item in the pictures attached. There are three lines as you see and I can trace two to water lines connecting in a T fitting. This gem is beneath the galley on the port side and appears to be connected still to 12 volts. No...

    Generator heat exchange failure?

    Northern Lights M673M 5.5kW older generator but with <300 hours. As a routine maintenance last year had the HX removed, cleaned out, and put back in place. Winterized prior to HX cleaning. Not sure if it is original - have had the boat for a little more than a year. The way the gen was...

    Newburyport on eBay?

    BoatAngel has a trawler listed on eBay. I own an Albin, and this looks like an Albin to me. Were there other makes that used the same hull mould? The engine is kaput, but the boat looks generally clean: 1986 Newburyport 37&apos; Trawler Florida | eBay

    Transmission Cable Advice

    Next week I am replacing my transmission cables - flybridge and lower helm - later next week. Boat is an Albin 36 double cabin / Lehman 120. Throttle cables are fine. The routing of the old cables looked less than desirable, but they need to pass the port side of the engine. Does anyone have...

    Safety mesh around flybridge?

    There is an Albin 36 for sale in Stuart, FL that has an interesting mesh screening around the FB rail. The pic is about 22 photos deep on YW. Can anyone here ID this product / fabric for me? I have a fellow that does canvas and fabric, but I like the see-through capability of this material...

    Butyl Tape?

    On my 36' Albin D/C, the starboard aft bunk gets wet and naturally has old damage. My first line of business is to tighten her up so that I don't have to sleep there with a mask and snorkel. Apart from the windows, I suspect that the base for the ladder access to the FB may be a secondary cause...

    36' MT Europa

    Looking at an MT. Not sure of the proper name for the flybridge supports on the sides of the Europa, but the fiberglass is cracked and the wood expanded increasing the cracks. They will need replacement soon. Does anyone know how much load bearing they do? Boat surveyed in 2014 and hull is...
