Re: Block Island in the off season

Jim,
Great pictures! Did you do the traveler upgrade? If you have the information regarding source and part #'s, I hope to do the same. It would be a vast improvement on my 31.
Many Thanks,
Guy

Re: Bilge Stench

David, If you haven't searched the archives, you may find some others that have experienced this with the 31. Having this model myself, I've been aware of the potential problem after reading about it. I know the former owner of my boat posted some solutions to try some time back. As of yet, I have n...

Re: Brown bootstripe paint

Jerry, A while back, someone posted the fact that brown paints are hard to find anymore. He mixed black and red for his bottom paint and was quite pleased. I did the same for my boat and took it a bit further for the bootstripe. I used Interlux Brightside and mixed quarts of red and black. I suppose...

CD 31 Depth Transducer

I'm wondering if anyone has replaced their depthsounder transducer on a 31? Mine has what is probably the original housing that I'm guessing is from DMI. I'm hesitant to try and remove the old transducer that is in this housing not knowing what I'll encounter. I don't know if the new traducer would ...

CD 31 Bilge Pump

Can anyone tell me how the electric bilge pump is secured? Recently I dropped a screw driver through the hatch located under the galley sinks. I'm thinking this caused some damage as the pump will no longer operate with the switch in the "auto" setting. It will, however, operate in the &qu...

Staysail boom

I am in the process of installing a furler for my 31's staysail. A friend is suggesting I won' t need the self-tending boom for this operation. There are articles on the subject but I wonder if it wouldn't require several more pieces of hardware, etc. Any thoughts? If you have a cutter rig with furl...
