I had the Wagner 700 ram rebuilt by northeast hydraulics in kittery Maine and it works great with no leaks. I think they charged $130. I didn't have them do the steering station unit yet but they said they could do those as well. My upper station is leaking a little so I will have them rebuild...

I was wondering how many people use a strap (a fixed length dock line with eyes at each end) as their first line when docking? I tend to have a lot of different people on my boat and it helps to take the guess work out of tying up for these guests. I mark the cleat where it goes and they just...

The first gen Suzuki four strokes are not that common. My next post will be about making a mold for building one myself because that's how I want to spend my time during the 2 months of good boating in Maine. Arrgh.

I lost my outboard hood(cowl) in a storm and am having a heck of a time finding a replacement. It's off a 1997 suzuki DF9.9. Apparently it's no longer available from suzuki and eBay has nothing. I don't have faith in hiring a diver to look for the original that flew off at my slip. The tides and...

I have a Perkins 236 that I pulled the failed injector pump off, and now I need to winterize the engine. The new pump won't be here for a week and the nights up here in Maine are getting colder. Can I drain the raw water system of all the water(Which is fresh water at the time) by removing...

I have a dual helm, Wagner 700 hydraulic steering system on my Ta Chiao 35 with twins. The boat is new to me and was out of the water for 8 years. After reinstalling the fly bridge (removed for transport) i had a hard time bleeding the system. After checking the steering ram (piston) i found it...

So it turns out to be a Ta Chiao CT 35. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Yeah, there are a couple characters missing. I will have to wait until I can get to the boat and try to make more sense out of it. There is supposed to be two spots on the hull with the same hin displayed from what I have gathered. I have only seen one, so there is hope.

So the hull ID # on the bill of sale is GT84010679. Is there a way to identify what I have here? Again, some of the hin seems to be unreadable and that number may not be 100% accurate.

Thanks Peter B, I was also thinking it may be the Choey Lee 32 And it is close but mine has almost a wing window forward of the cabin doors and the 32s seem to wrap around to the front. Also mine has a port main cabin door and the 32 doesn't. The CHB also looks similar but the widows are...

Thanks for the link. It doesn't look like anything on their web page.

I know where the hin # is however it is unreadable. It is on the upper transom in the center. I was hoping someone may have some ideas based on the lines, windows, doors, rails ect.

The hin is barely readable and the one on the bill of sale didn't come up in any searches. It very well could be pre 79?

Thanks Craig, I bought her last week with the understanding that it was a Choey Lee 34 however upon further research, she doesn't look like any Choey Lee out there? I am anxious to put that bridge and mast on to see the finished product! She has twin Perkins if that helps.

I was told she is a 1979 Choey Lee 34 but I can't find another one that looks the same. Any info would be helpful, thanks.
