Re: Shaft log hose CD-33 (long sorry)
OMG- thanks for all the reply’s. Zeida those pics are great! I have to ask where did you get the clamps for the shaft log (crimped) and did they fit through the stern with no problem? Also what did you use for sealant? 4200? We use the same clamps at work but for hose in a much larger size. I did no...

Shaft log hose CD-33 (long sorry)
Well hello folks’ We have been out of pocket for more reasons than I care to talk about. We still sail Air Raid when we can. I have some information that might be useful. (I think) We hauled out Air Raid late October 2013 to do the usual bottom paint and other maintenance that needed to be done. It ...

glue
This will sound crazy but try lighter fluid. It removes all kinds of sticky things and will not harm the surface. We use it all the time around the house for things like that, Years ago before bar codes we used it on price tags on xmass gifts. soak tag. slide it off. Done. no harm to package. my 2 c...

PB Blaster!!!!!!
I had the same problem on my 25. you’re better off with a stuck shut valve than one stuck open as far as gates go. Most gate valves stick shut due to over torque and dried out packing. As Oswego John said loosen the packing nut, soak with PB blaster (it worked better for me, your mileage may vary)...

I have a solution.
OK I changed my mind. Send it to me, I will install it on Air Raid and let it age for say?? 3 or 4 years. Then send it back to you. If you are not pleased with the outcome send it back to me I will reinstall it and let it age some more. and then repeat the process. Just a thought All I have now is a...

My 2 cents
Well my 2 cents. The wife and I sort of collect antiques, (old stuff) for the house, and boat. and some things were just meant to age with grace and look good doing it. (Seasoned) If I told her I was going to shine up the bronze and remove the patina. You would rather stick a hot poker up your nose....

Hatch
Hey Bob. I replaced my Lexan just about a year ago on the forward hatch it was severely cracked and scratched. I did not have any leaks at the time so I did not remove the whole hatch and I was short on time. I removed the hinge pins (spring pins) they came out easier than I thought. I made a wood c...

Paint
We went with Trinidad pro. Black when we had the boat hauled for maintenance there was a guy at the marina with some left over from his job, all unopened cans. He made me a deal I could not refuse, and I have not heard the fish laugh yet? and my wallet felt good too. i think the black looks sharp. A...

craigslist
I am docked at Jullinton Creek fl. There is a 30 cutter with worm gear for sale, It can be viewed @ craigslist jacksonville.
I walked over to see it. for a 1979 and just a walk by it did not appear to look too bad. The next time I am there I will see if I can locate the owner and chat..

aqua buff
When I did my 25 I used a product called aqua-buff, a mild rubbing compound, and followed up with Meguiar's Cleaner Wax,
All I can say is OMG! what a slick and shinny surface.
I got a lot of compliments on the final results.
And it has held up well so far
