Thanks for all the input from all the Forum folks who responded. The good folks at "Clean Seal", Jeremy Klotz and Bill Dawson, dug into their extensive inventory and found a suitable replacement gasket for this hatch. They're based in South Bend, IN. and you can find them on the internet. I...

Thanks for your patience....:-)

Thanks for your reply Capt. Bill 11. Not sure how to attach photos to this forum. I've got them on my desktop, ready to send. Advice?

Our CT 35' Sundeck Trawler has a swing out hatch window right in the center of the wheel house. The hatch is fitted with a groove to accept a gasket designed to go around the entire grooved hatch to waterproof the hatch when closed and dogged down. This gasket has, over the years, flattened...

Nice sun deck model; should be a comfortable costal cruiser. Double check all "hard to get to" areas like fuel, water, and holding tanks. All a large (and expensive) job to replace. Any leaks or wood rot? Any maintenance logs on oil changes etc.? No matter what, plan to spend a few months, at...

Finished testing the system today and am happy to say that everything worked fine. The diverter valve is mounted on the bulkhead with the outputs about 3/4 the height of the top of the holding tank. The macerator sucks the tank nearly dry, and I'm happy to say there are no leaks! Thanks for all...

Thanks for the responses! To HopCar, I already have the diverter valve, and the local C.G. folks like the setup. A cut off valve at the holding tank outlet is a great idea I didn't consider; thanks. Just to clarify, to av8r, my macerator is mounted downstream of the diverter valve, so I will be...

I'm installing a replacement holding tank. The output of the tank is on the bottom. Standard 1 1/2 " barbs, etc. I want to put a diverter valve right after the output of the tank so I can direct the sewage to a macerator, then to a thru-hull for direct discharge (where allowed)...or...direct the...

Preparation is mandatory. Of course, we're talking about machinery, and stuff breaks (or fails to keep working). It keeps Vessel Assist busy most weekends. All we can do is go thru all systems Before leaving the berth, make sure all systems are go, carry as many spare parts as you can manage...

I should add that I do plan to use Boot Camp or a similar program and get rid of the old PC.

I use Mac Pro at home, use an iPod touch, and have a iPad for mobile use. I am close to converting to an iPhone as my blackberry is nearing it's life's end. I like the way all these devices sync together, but most of all I like that all these devices WORK. I still have an old PC running Windows...

Sorry Pineapple Girl..I forgot your first response noted that you replaced the rollers on the door with the tape. I'll be ordering some tape after the holidays. Thanks again, and have a great holiday season.. Sent from my iPad using Trawler

Also, do you recall the size of the tape you used?

Re: UHMW Just to clarify, did you apply the tape to the bottom of the door, eliminating the rollers, or did you apply the tape to the bottom of the door frame and let the rollers ride on the tape? Since the rollers are toast (in my case), I'm thinking the tape just replaces the rollers, and the...

Certainly sounds like our layouts are identical. I'll check with ACE, also going to look into UHMW tape. Either way, I have to pull the door, and I think I'll wait until spring or early summer. I don't want to be without a working door 'till the weather warms..thanks for the feedback.. Sent...

Thanks Pineapple Girl. I'll check it out. Did you have to make any other adjustments to maintain the same height of the door to the frame? Sent from my iPad using Trawler

I have to re do my port sliding door and am looking for replacement rollers that might stand a chance of lasting in a marine environment. I don't know what was used before, but it's toast now. Also, did you have to pull the engines to replace your fuel tanks? I assume you have 2 tanks, 1 ea...

Any pictures you can post?
