    Water tanks

    Another thought on your projects. When removing the exhaust hose from the "transom fitting", BE CAREFUL, the fiberglass on that fitting is not as robust as you might think, and the hose comes off hard. The gods were with me the day I replaced my hose.

    Water tanks

    My thought is the connection between the two tanks should be on the aft side of the tanks. Two reasons right off; 1: on final fit-up, you wont know if any leaks until fully installed and filled. Between tank connections will be more difficult to monitor. 2: added capacity by placing the tanks...

    Slow Hand 2023 To Lake Superior and back

    Shady Harbor on the Hudson just short of Albany NY is a great stop. Food is worth hanging fenders and throwing dock lines.

    Grand Banks forum

    I am following this conversation. I too would like to replace the water tanks in a GB36-502 Classic. No leaks yet, but I've replaced all the other tanks so why not the fresh water tanks also.

    Considering Moving "Slow Hand" to the Great Lakes

    Choose wisely, Brewerton is a great place with good services and inexpensive fuel. BUT, your boating season is controlled not only by Nature's seasons, but also the whims of the NY Throughway Athuority who now oversee the NY canal system.

    GB 42'....the 'almost' perfect boat

    I agree, anyone who sits in our salon for more than a few minutes its always looking for blankets or pillows or both to stuff in behind/under/around to try and get comfortable. This is the first item on my refit list, but don't know how to make it better without losing the storage under the...

    To Repair or Sell Grand Banks 36 Classic

    I don't think I would give up on her quite yet. The scenario sounds to me one of a simple overheating event. Low RPM with temp at 180, then at high RPMs over 200 - makes me think raw water pump impeller went and it overheated. Looks a lot worst than really is with steam spewing from engine...

    Cable steering sheave removal

    My thought on using PO instead of light oil, ie 3in1, was to prevent excess build-up with gunk collected around the axles. Maybe I'm wrong. I am always open to other's thoughts.

    Defender Industries has been aquired

    Defender is the only large store that I'm aware of, along that part of the coast where you can pick things up and look at it before buying - like a Walmart for boaters. Jamestown closed its walk-in showroom shopping area, and WM doesn't stock a lot on the shelves. My Defender 1st membership is...

    Cable steering sheave removal

    Thank you for taking the time and effort to post during this project. I have placed it in the reference files for the day that will most certainly come. Where did you find signs of wear, and were any of the parts critically worn? As part of my annual re-commissioning, I apply Cable and Chain...

    GB 46 classic- Broken Window Fix Help

    If you are not going to remove the frames to get the glass out, them maybe the use of a suction cup handle (like used to pull dents out in automotive repair) would help with lifting the panes out of the tracks.

    Fuel Vent Cover

    Last winter, I think it was, someplace within TF, someone was talking about 3D printing these. I know it's not much to go on, but they are out there - Good luck

    travelling on the ocean whats considered safe

    Look at and read the Coast Pilot for that area, on the chart there are few cuts back inside, but LOCAL KNOWLEDGE is highly recommended. Plan accordingly.

    Port side front window replacement.

    Sorry for high jacking this thread, but... I am planning to refit all of the windows on my '76 36 classic this summer and am looking for lessons learned so I don't have to reinvent the wheel per say.
