I really liked Outlaw Ocean too.

Curious if you have any tips for corners and the seam with the rubber seal. I just got my first window set in and the rubber seal was popping out at the corners (particularly the acute corner) and also wanted to get squeezed into the gap as I brought the two halves together creating wrinkles...

I was trying to find tremclad and it was coming up as very expensive to ship and then I found myself on homedepot.ca and realized a ha - this is a Canadian sailor's advice. I'm guessing rustoleum might be similar.

Getting ready to tackle my first portlight. Trying to digest all of the great advice here. I've removed one already. Cleaned the old caulk from where it was used as bedding. Ordered an initial kit from catalina direct to try the window gaskets. Definitely still trying to digest the different...

Yes that might be it (boat share), but this boat is probably worth 16k. Definitely not 140k. One of the other partners has been doing the searching, and with quotes coming back as they are I thought I'd do a little digging on the forum. If anyone has good broker reccs I'll check them out (I...

Bgary - we also seem to be losing Geico coverage - would love to know the details on NovaMar. I'm part of a boat share, and we've been quoted 1400 for a 1973 Ericson 32 from progressive, which seems crazy given what I'm seeing here.

It's connected to a Garmin via NMEA 2000. Was installed before my time. Part of a package (Garmin GNX Sail pack).

Not sure what you mean. I believe it's a airmar dst 800 (still trying to confirm).

Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify, the depth sounder is currently not adjusted at all to account for position or keel. I checked manually one day and the depth at our slip was 14+ft. So there's no way this is measuring the bottom even if it was measuring from the bottom of our keel...

Hi going to jump in here with a related question as it seems about as good a place as any. I just bought into a partnership on an Ericson 32-2. We are having some issues with existing instrumentation. Notably depth sounder reading <3ft when we know it's deeper (but not always), and faster than...
