When refitting the mast on my 28 I noticed that the tapped holes that hold the top pulley assembly for the jib and forestay in place were lacking in strength. So I used two plates of drilled and tapped aluminum behind the mast (on the inside) to reinforce the attachment. In my haste I forgot to...

All, I can't seem to unfreeze a telescoping arm made up of a 1" boxed anodized aluminum tube that slides into another one. I've spoken to the manufacturer who offered that all he does in these cases is to use WD 40 to loosen them. Alas, I've tried that, even using Gunk brand penetrating...

Hi All, Unfortunately I still have the original aluminum tank in my E31 and will not replace until next year. I was searching the post and could not find anything for purifying the water when using an aluminum tank. I once read that you can't use bleach for purification water for aluminum...

Guys, I'm headed up to Sandusky to work on my new E29 this weekend and am going to relocate my VHF antenna from the stern rail to the mast. What is the best fastener to attach an accessory like this to an Aluminum mast. Obviously you can't get to the inside of the mast to put nuts on the back...
