As it turns out, we don't seem to have the fly bridge cover in this great pile, so there's probably not a whole lot of worth here after all. Some are newer covers, others old. We'll give it a week and then throw them out. Thanks!!

Hello! We sold our boat a few years ago and have just cleaned out a storage unit -- that contained all of the covers. Most are old and somewhat worn, some badly, while a few we had made several years ago (for example, the flying bridge cover). We can't contact the new owner and thought we'd try...

We plan to leave our Pavane in the water this winter, but want to spend time working on the superstructure, patching leaks and working on woodwork (don't worry, I will use a respirator!). A lot of people here in Juneau cover their boats with a PVC frame and heavy reinforced tarp (you buy it in...

Thanks.;)

Thanks, Eric and pssneeld, We brought the engine book home and I found the enclosed diagram showing where the hot water heater hookup is, and it is the same spot that we located on the engine. pssneeld: We will look at the support of these hoses and make sure we feel comfortable with them...

And this photo from within the engine room This is the "first photo" referred to in the first posting I did today.

pics Clearly need to expand my knowledge beyond the engine room and figure out how to add photos. OK, this photo is taken from above the engine.

Petcock on engine block We've taken a couple of pictures. The first is taken from within the engine room, of what must be the referred to petcock on the port side of the engine block. We were looking for it lower on the engine. The second is taken from above after we open the petcock slightly...

I may have answered my question. I found this on another thread: "Quote: Originally Posted by LaBomba View Post Mine is the same Marin except it goes to the hot water tank as well before going to the exhaust. Our starboard engine (FL120) as a hose connection on the port side of the block for...

Lehman 120 coolant draining Bruce (and other Ford Lehman 120 owners), We drained the coolant from the heat exchanger yesterday (because we had to get at the belt, but that is another story; good opportunity to make sure we are on top of the coolant situation; we are still learning). The...

Rardion, Got it, I was thinking "drain" because it is heavier than air so will "flow" downhill ... but if we just need to make sure it is vented to the great outdoors, it sounds like the flying bridge will work great (we have a lot of great outdoors up here!). What part of Louisiana? I went to...

Propane Locker Marty, Good thread, this. We've got a propane cookstove with the propane tank in a compartment on the flying bridge. "In a compartment" is definitely not "in a propane locker," and we've been reading up on the safety hazards associated with an unsecured, uncontained propane...

Steve, the boom/hoist may be the way we go, and the link was excellent. We've been thinking along these lines as well. I love the precision of the description in the link. Murray and XSBank, yes to being able to get the dogs out of the water if they fall in. Molly our poodle is the classic...

We have a brute of a dog, a 130-pound Shar Pei/lab/whatever mix. We want to take the dogs with us cruising but we'll need to figure out some way of getting him down to the swim step so we can take him ashore in the punt. An aluminum ramp would probably work, but it would have to be parallel to...

Thanks, Kevin, and all. Great input and the Wallas does sound like it might be perfect for us. Thanks for the great responses, Michelle and Jim

Al, Thanks much, good to hear the scoop from another cool, wet place. The Wallas looks very interesting and it is encouraging to hear that you were able to install it yourself. We are shooting to run down to the West coast of Prince of Wales next spring -- used to be my old stomping grounds --...

Greetings from "the land of perpetual October," as my husband Jim affectionately calls our hometown. We've just bought this summer a 1978 34' CHB, the Pavane. It has a truly ancient Espar heater that we have not even tried to fire up yet. We are exploring other heater options, especially...
