:egrin: An easy way to clean rust or stains from standing rigging (or deck mounted hardware) is to use Davis FSR. Brush it on with an old toothbrush, let it work overnight, then hose the residue off. When the metal is dry, spray it with Lemon Pledge or a similar product, and polish...

I had a request for the info on my new hand rails so here's the scoop. Let me start by saying … I hate varnishing … for me it has no socially redeeming qualities. All varnishing does, is take away from otherwise perfectly good sailing days. Sure it looks nice … for about two days. Then...

My boat came with an alcohol stove, and it was surrounded by a thin sheet of stainless steel. Is it necessary to leave it in there for a propane stove, or is it just there to catch burning dripping alcohol before it sets fire to the plywood? Gareth Freyja E35 #241 1972

I am thinking about replacing the stainless steel rod that supports my swing keel. I got the diameter from the online owners manual, but it does not specify a length. Does anyone know tha approximate length so I can order the rod? I will be machining the ends to fit the hull contours, but...

A couple of years ago I replaced my galley sink. All I could find was the brushed stainless that came with the boat and the new sink suffers from the same defect - it gets the pox in the form of rust spots that have to be removed with metal cleaner fairly often. Does anyone have the same...

After removing all the through deck connections { u-bolts}I found that the rust had started to attach the threads at the very top where the deck seal is located, just about 1/2 inch into yhe deck. this is classic crevice corrosion, oxygen starviation. Al;though this was cosmetic, the metal was...
