As on who has just sold a 1988 40' Sundeck.... Because of the power used by the bulbs is high, I installed a high light output flouerest lamp on a swivel in the salon and two of them in the aft cabin. I rarly would use the overhead lights. However to your question.. Those brass bulb holder can...

I had the Heritage East ...Nova...* 40' Sundeck. One thing that did suprise me on this boat was how stable it was even in snotty weather. I brought it up from California to Washington on it's own keel. In certain areas it would get kind of scarry with 20'+ swells where on the top all you see is...

A line came loose from my dingy and trailed about 25' behind. When I got to my anchorage while looking for a good spot several boats pointed this out. I don't know what I was thinking but I thought I'd take care of it after I got settled in. Anyway, got a good spot, dropped the anchor and backed...

I removed the deak decks on a 34' boat I had many years ago. Hopefully you don't have any rotted core as that will have top be replaced too. I was able to use a good wrecking bar to pry up the old boards. Then remove the left over screws with a cordless drill. As I remember I used two layers...

I've tried most of them and dragged them from the Danforth, Bruce and CQR with the Bruce being my least favorite. Meet someone on the dock about 10 years ago with a funny looking anchor that I've never seen before. It was a Super Max. Said he had good luck with it so I ordered one out. Yes, it...

RE: Sundeck Back at you.

RE: Sundeck Yep, That mine. I'm going to pull it off the market the first of April until thing improve as potential buyers can't get loans. Dave

Here's a growler.... http://ecologicalhumanities.org/Images/dog%20in%20boat.jpg Dave

When I was boarded by the CG for a "safety inspection" I refused to allow them to leave until they inspected my bell. I paid alot*for that thing. Dave

I don't remember what the details were but* there was a gas explosion up here in the Everett marina about eight years ago. I blew someone into the water but nobody was killed. Dave

I don't know about FF neighbor but there are some outstanding deals to be made for new and used boats at this time. Lowball offers that wouldn't even be considered just a few years ago are now being excepted. Dave

I agree with KMA. For a new boat under 50' and one million dollars the Northwest 47 is alot of boat. I saw it at the boat show this year. If they would just move the decimal point one digit to the left I'd get one. Dave

Can anybody with a 42' tell me what their fuel usage is at 8 - 9 knots???? Dave

Wish I could say it as well as you did Rick. Well done. Dave

My point too. Dave

Oh no! Another negative Nay sayer!

Looking to pick up one of these probably between 1999 - 2002. Yachtsurvey doesn't seem to hate it to much. Any thoughts for any owner would be appreciated. Dave

Sorry, didnt know I was a nay sayer. Im still waiting for the 200miles/gallon carburetor, cruising a week on batteries alone, etc. My post was that new technology in motors is not the limiting factor in long range cruising under battery power, its the batteries. Lets use your nonexistent super...

quote, "Imagine a battery bank of 4-8-10 batteries and being able to cruise for a week or so on one charge.*" Sorry to bust your bubble but it's not going to happen. It takes energy to move a boat and a battery bank of 4-8 or 10 batteries has only a finite amount. Assuming they could make an...

CHris: What I'm looking at is a plywood house that has been fiberglassed over similar to the Pre 1978 CHB 34. I've tried to get into the CHB forum but need to be approved by the moderator. Fred: Removing the old plywood and building up the thickness of the outside fiberglass and installing...

On a previous boat i had there were plenty of deap stains from the power cord being left on the deck to birds, etc. Not a pritty site. I tried all the marine cleaners and stain removers from the marine store. Some worked, some didn't but none got it anywhere from being completely out. The I...

What I'm thinking is removing 2 to 3 foot sections of the teak faced plywood. I'm hoping the remaining fiberglass is thick enough to hold its shape. Build this up to about 1/4 inch with additional fiberglass and epoxy. Glass in some new 3"x3/8" fir battons running vertical spaced every foot or...

On my old CHB 34 I removed the old rusted rollers and install a 1/4 piece of nylon in the door channel. Worked ok for me. Dave

I'm looking into purchasing an 1970's trawler where the superstrcuture is glassed over plywood. Several area have leaked and is starting to rot the inner teak plywood. What is the proper method for repair as simply removing all the interior plywood doesn't seem like a good idea as the roof would...

When I got mt current boat about 5 years ago with Volvo TAMD 41A volvo diesel engines they both would leave a smoke trail behind tehm about 30 to 40 feet. Got the usual advice from Boat Diesel to change or clean injectors, turbo etc. Deceided to try a bottle of Soltron in the tank. Let it sit in...
