Any photos?

There are a few places that I have not been intimate with my boat and will continue to look. I may need to construct one using your idea. Thanks

Does anyone know where or even if there is a manual tiller handle that would have been available for the 1978 Marine Trader? Soon after purchase, my steering shaft broke in the rear locker. It appears to have a coupling that would accept a tiller but so far have not located one on the vessel...

Good looking MT. Welcome aboard.

I have to admit there are a lot of opinions. I am going to go with the lighting first. Upgrade to LED's. Then to the upholstery. That will give the wife something to do. I will update the pics soon.

TG, I have a manual glue scraper for sale. I will sell you the blueprints for making your own. Looking at the finished product I have to say, awesome job!

There is a surveyor from Canada named Capt. Wallace Gouk Give him a try. Trawler Forum - View Profile: boatpoker. He may be able to help you.

I am truly speechless....

Wait... there are different colored wires? Mine are all red.

Pillows may work, but its time to retire the "casket seating"

I am going to look into replacing the bulbs first cardude. If it looks good, then I will go with it.

Pipeliner, I have 3 words for you. Survey...Survey...Survey.. The broker somehow talked me out of one, but on the other hand, glad he did. I love my trawler and wouldn't trade it for the world. Well maybe Chile. But that's just for the produce.

I can get 9 kts downhill.

RTF, I have an old stage light that uses a 500w bulb. That may work but I have to admit, I love the sailing hanging light. Bwhahaha

Cardude that is what I am thinking of for replacements. Only need the fixtures as well. Anyone want to buy original jeweled glass lighting fixtures to fund my LED project? Has anyone just replaced the bulbs with LED conversions? BTW I have 16 fixtures for sale..

The salon seating is dark paisley red from Dracula's House of Fabric. So updating the cushions is something I plan on doing as well. Might even take it out along with lower helm and place a light colored sectional along starboard side. Other trawler owners said I should keep it original. But...

ok....That was funny

I guess that settles it. LED lighting it is.

RT, That is exactly my dilemma. All of the teak inside is pristine. I may upgrade to LED lighting from the old jeweled lights I have now. Less drain on battery as well. Thanks for the input.

RT I would have thought you would reply, "Try paint?"

I was considering stripping the varnish off and acid washing the wood to lighten it. Also possibility of wainscoting.

I own a 1978 Marine Trader 44' and want to lighten up the captains quarters and salon. It is all original wood inside and looks great but very dark to see at night even with the addition of lighting. Parquet wood floors and dark walls makes it hard to see at night. Anyone have any...

Looks like 8 mile road. I used to live there and hated it during bass fishing. No problem here in Oceanside.:dance:
