Thank you for the advice. A part of me thinks I should remove the keel bolt nut in the shower sump. Apply some not to tenacious caulk 4000 or total boat seal, replace lock washer and nut retorque and call it good.

Thank you Aft Engine 1981 Mast step would need to be removed

I have had some damage from the boat sitting on the trailer over the winter and am getting some small leaks around the front keel boat about a shower sump full in a a week. Loren What yard did you use in Portland. It may be the easiest for me to get to.

I added the forespar strainer seems to work well. I replaced the pump a few years back with the larger capacity model and recently added the larger heat exchanger when the orginal bit the dust. cooling is much improved with the above refinements

I have hull 30 a 1981. It has had a little blistering over the years. I live where the boat comes out for the winter. So several years ago I drained them in the fall and filled them and have several coats of barrier in the spring . They have not returned. I do not think our mast was...

thank you

Does anyone know the part number or size of the antifreeze drain on the front of the 5432. Mine is leaking and would like to have a replacement before I remove the old one. Mine drains through a twist valve not the newer type

we only have none smokers now days but incents do the the trick. When it goes straight up or around in circles time to go home

There is a nice little ap that runs on android. SailGrib It does routing and does a decent job. Free for up to 100 miles of routing. It does weather route optimization etc

A uncovered sail deteriorates quickly The atn cover above will pay for itself quickly. Another option is the sailrite kit. I have a sewing machines and built one in less than a day. The tie downs are key. I think the atn kits are stocked by defender. I think quantum also uses the atn...

I have quite a few north sails. I have always been happy with them. I also bought a Sobstad spinnaker. Peter is great he will take the tome to discuss a solution.
