I like Way We Go's suggestion I only wonder if its even necessary to raise/have the cabinets on the plywood or just have them on the subfloor?

80 grit on a random orbital sander here, just about ready for paint and new zincs this year

Id replace, I did replace mine last year, twin rwc motors. One motor seemed to steam more than the other and not knowing how old they were I thought better safe then sorry. You'll need to know if you have the copper tubes in them, im assuming you do as I did. I replaced my friends last year as well,...

looks like you got the information you were looking for, just to reiterate I also and using Gore GFO and not having any issues with two different F32s, the older one I replaced the packing 4 years ago, super cheap, i mean under $10 shipped to your house to do both shafts, sourced from a google search

can I ask why? The trailer would cost thousands and get used how often, then you have to store that monster and you'll need a tow rig? I thought about making my own but at $250 to $300 to haul out or launch whats the point. You'd be pulling well over 13,000 lbs.

good luck, ill be interested in your experience. If anyone on this forum is interested I can get the macrisindustries at a discounted rate. I think im adding one macris to my inflatable, i want to try the chrome which changes colors but those are pricey. I like the MIU15 which is 1650 lumens and can...

I went and took a couple picts of mine and my old trojan to show you the underwater lights I used http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj488/KAnderson4282/Mobile%20Uploads/20160223_110447.jpg http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj488/KAnderson4282/Mobile%20Uploads/20160223_110458.jpg http://i1264.pho...

I installed Lumitec SeaBlaze 3 on my 1973 Trojan F32 3 years ago, their great, sold the boat to a friend of mine when I bough my 1974 Trojan F32 I decided to try Macris after a tour of their shop. I was very impressed with his work, they are both surface mount style, at the time Lumitech was said to...

this fall/winter I decided to ditch my plastic mini blinds as they were yellowing and brittle, always got dirty and kind of cheap looking. for under $200 I had custom made covers made to tuck behind my front window cover and attach to the aluminum window railing. their two piece each side and joined...

me too, random orbital sander, 80 grit, I clean with a acid cleaner and apply 4 plus coats of cetol

That "block" should be a zinc and grounded to your battery. Electrolysis is different where you boat and the type of water your in. For example if your at a active marina with lots of power running you'll want the extra protection opposed to myself i'm in a secluded cove alone on a private...

Barrie ive done the same on boats in the past and plan on doing it again to my current F32, I have other projects I'm finishing up first on her, and the house, and work of course, dont want too much downtime, the season is too short

My 74 F32 has always been in salt water used only, salt water cooled, I have 8 zincs, 2 on each shaft, one on each rudder and one on each trim tab, my 1973 F32 was the same with one extra zinc on each trim tab and one motor was fresh water cooled, my 79 F32 had one shaft zinc each shaft, one on each...

Thanks guys, and I'm using 80 grit to take down the bare minimum, it clogs the paper some but I don't want to gouge and rip down too much, just the ugly layers of dark finish the PO put on. Thanks for the support and pic compliments, I've decided to powder coat the trim ring as well as cleats, flag ...
