I've still got a leak - I believe its from the rotted out frame/screws for the flybridge inner panels - will replace soon with aluminum rails and new screws with 5200. The leak is geting old (and cold in winter). Any other ideas? I may drill holes near the rear as someone suggested.

I have 2 friends with DDs. One replaced the DDs with Volvos in his Bertram 42. It was an "oil slinger". The other has had good luck with a pair of 6v71s in his Hatteras 40 - but did need a rebuild last year as the heads were warped. Not my favorite, but I'm looking at a boat with a pair of 12v71s in...

mine was replaced before I bougth it - fiberglass insert ... hatches etc. built-in. Much nicer. The teak is pretty, but the replacement sais more practical. I have fish boxes and 100% access to everything!

I spent last Sat (65degF) working on my leak. I removed the aluminum drip rail (4 pieces) all the way around the bridge (where it meets the salon ceiling). There was a 1/2" gap approx 2.5' long on the front, and smaller gaps on the Stbd side (1/8" x 1') and Port side of the aft section (1/8" x 1.5')...

I have leaks from the bridge that I cannot seem to find. I have 5200'd as much as I can find around the console, steering linkage cover, and the opening (dammed up) for the wires to come down on the stbd side, etc.. I stll have water getting into the floor of the bridge and dripping from holes (appa...

I found some on eBay ...

This rudder setup looks similar to my F32's rudder. Is it indeed the same?

My 70's vintage Onan MDJA 3.0 diesel generator was running fine (in my boat). One afternoon last Spring (cool day) it was running, and suddenly just quit. It will start fine, but dies as soon as the start swith is released and goes back to the run position. I've bought manuals, etc. but am still stu...

Has anyone installed a windlass on an F32? I am considering a vertical windlass, and adding a bow pulpit and stainless anchor roller for my Fortress FX-16 anchor.

Any experiences will be appreciated!
