My vote is go with the teak. I used Cetol and applied it "by the book". The steps have seen 4 seasons. No wear, no marks. I made up covers for the steps that go on in the spring and again in the fall when the boat is on the hard been serviced. Your shoes no matter how hard you try end up t...

I pump the f/w tank empty then disconnect the inlet line at the pump and attach a short hose to a jug of anti. I then disconnect the cold line into the hot water heater and plug it. With one cold tap open at a time a short cycle of the pump forces the water through the lines with antifreeze. I then ...

Two "no such thing" phrases -
1. A simple job.
2. A quick job

My boat is the F-32 and I built an arch side to side in the flybridge highest point being approx 30 inches above the console and the size of shrink I require is 32' x 50'. After tucking the lower point along the hull back up inside the scrapping about 1 foot that brings the lowest point of shrink ap...

A some may remember I made a post about a month ago looking for assistance on sourcing seals for my Hynautic system. The upper helm started leaking 3 miles out on day one of holidays. My marina found a seal kit for me and I did the repair. The seal kit was $50 in my hand, taxes and shipping included...

Unless I'm mising something here piping that line to the crankcase would not be a good idea. It would be creating an explosive enviroment should the engine backfire through the PCV. I know, not suppose to happen with a PCV valve, but how many other things are not suppose to happen but do. Also if a ...

Day 1 of holidays 3 miles into the trip and the upper helm starts peeing oil on my foot. Have taken unit apart and found a small piece broken out of the shaft seal. Does any of the local guys (Southern Ontario) know where I may find a supply for this Hynautic Steering? I figure all I need is a seal ...

I used to use plastic zip locks but found I somehow managed to pinch a hole in the side and a mess was the result, generally found later. I now have the side cut out a 4 liter antifreeze jug that gets wedged under the oil filter to catch the dribble. I purchased two of those long (apporox 12") ...

My tachs did not agree at 2600 - 2800 rpm they were about 200 rpm apart, the starboard engine showing the faster speed. This spring I was changing the dash indicator lights and had the cluster tipped out to this. Now's my chance. I started both engines and brought the starboard engine to cruise spee...

Does anyone have a Weaver Davit in their hand and could mearsure the bolt hole centers? Am trying to do a small project and would like to do the drilling at home and have it ready to install when I get to the boat. Precision drilling on the dock sometimes ends up not so presice.

We bought our first boat in the fall and the family had many discussions all winter, each with a new name that the others turned down. Finally our son says "Why don't we call it Can't Decide? I asked why. He said "Cause that's the last thing we say after every one of these discussions, we ...

Mine is the same as Ready, ring on the bow railing and heaving line at the stern.

Largo: A dash mounted amp meter is generally a dedicated meter where you would monitor one operation all the time. IE amps going into the battery as the engine is running after sitting on the hook. Switching leads to check other things is not a user friendly operation. I know there are the expensive...

Portable Vise ( yes I carry one, clamps to almost anything even the railing )
Soldering Gun and Solder
Extention Cord
