Re: Stand-Up Block Replacement

This is what I ordered.... https://garhauermarine.com/ProductSpecs.cfm?pid=146 It was less than half the cost of the equivalent Schaefer version. And much better made I'm sure. I bought a rigid boom vang from Garhauer at a boat show. The build quality is amazing. I haven't installed it yet though. T...

Stand-Up Block Replacement

Hi, Anyone know what the current Schaefer replacement part number is for the Spring Loaded Genoa Blocks on a CD30? The manual says the part number is 07-83 but that was a long time ago. Is it this?: https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|118|2358559|2358568&id=926996 That one has the righ...

Re: 3 cylinder Beta Engine 200 hours $4000

Did you buy it used? Otherwise if it didn't fit in your CD25, how does it have 200 hours on it?

Re: Main Sheet Traveler Stop-Need New One!

Try used parts shops. I was able to buy a pair at one for my cd36, looks like the same part. This is what I did as well. Sifted through the giant parts bin and there it was! I paid $2 for it. Rig Rite wanted $98 at the time. It was worth the time spent sifting... because I found other cool stuff too!

I repaired my tanks with J-B WaterWeld. I got it at Home Depot. It isn't expensive, did a great job, and according to the package it is fine for potable water.
