They have a style very similar to the one on my '85.

Aaron, The cabin top panel may not be perfectly flush all around but it shouldn't be that noticeable. I have had the good fortune (?) to have removed and replaced my cabin roof panel twice. The 1st time was to replace my refrigerator. The second time was because I didn't rebed it properly the first ...

Don't think our marinas are too concerned about soap going into the water. At least until the EPA requires diapers on the ducks, herons, and gulls

I've been using Starbrite Non-Skid Deck Cleaner for several years. It works great and doesn't remove wax on the the smooth areas. For tough bird stains I use SoftScrub.
Also, try a Dollar Store for Awesome cleaner. Good for stains - cheap and dissolves spider poop. Don't use it on windows though.

It's not just ice that folks have to worry about. During last February's huge snow storms, sheds collapsed at two separate marinas in the upper Chesapeake Bay area. One at Georgetown MD on the Sassafras River, the other on the Bohemia River. Glad I keep mine "on the hard." Online pcs avail...

Aaron, I just sent you an email with my winterizing procedures attached. We can discuss via email.

Good luck with your new boat!

Aaron In Baltimore: Contact me when you start looking for a Tricabin. I'm not ready to sell just now, but who knows about later? Mine is in great shape and has been updated. I'm just the second owner, upper Bay kept since new. Shame you can't make the rendezvous; I'm looking forward to seeing the ot...

Don't know if it's related, but check the three fuses on the genny panel.

It's just a two-minute car hop over there for me. Waiting to hear the schedule of happenings.

I plan to be there, but not by boat. My boat is about 1/2 mile up river on the Sassafras. I will drive or dinghy over. My "next door" neighbor ('91 F32) plans to go over as well.

No help on the AC, but just had to comment on your great looking Tricabin. Being shed-kept does help. Mine's in an open slip.
Good luck with the AC. Might be a good time to convert to digital controls.

Has anyone worked on the engine before the knocking occurred? I had a similar problem with my 318s in my old F30 after I changed plugs. Turned out I had switched spark plug wires 5 & 7. The engine ran, but had a bad "rod knock" at idle. Cylinders 5 & 7 are next to each other in the...
