    living aboard in St Maarten

    I have a 48 tolly and it has Cummins 6BTA engines. This is the best you will get for space in the engine room. My knees are bad and I put carpet in the engine room and that reduced the pain to tolerable. Replace the Sherwood raw water pumps with SeaMax pumps and you should be good to go.

    covering vents

    Thanks River Cruiser. I haven't started the job yet, I am still gathering parts. I looked at the vents and if I use snaps I can put them below the height of the vent louvers and this should not create a problem. Thanks for all the input, I hope your kindness is returned many times over...

    need to purchase and install autopilot

    Thanks C Lectric, I posted on the Tolly site, no help there yet. I re-emailed the broker as the boat is a block from their office. Hope that will result in a part number or a measurement. Most folks on the forums are really good help. Thanks again, Greg

    need to purchase and install autopilot

    Thanks for the input. I will see if the broker can get the measurments or part numbers of the steering cylinder. I have no personal preference and the boat has pot pouri for existing equipment. So Si-tex would be acceptable. I can forego the whistle and bells. thanks again, Greg
