Re: Fuel tank issues

i think they did have screens at the end of the fuel intake. it is probably welded to the tank right? on the new tanks you can screw it out. not sure how you could possibly clean the tank using the fuel gauge opening .. unless you are doing it with fuel polishing.

Re: NEED SOME ADVICE ON CAPE DORY 31 SALE

the year the boat was built will probably come into the picture here. even though it has so much new and updated equipment.

Re: Cabin Sole Refinishing Suggestions

i'm thinking the same thing. don't try to remove the old varnish unless there's no other way. etch the sole with fine sandpaper and put a couple of fresh coats on. one way to fill up bad dings is with clear epoxy.

Re: Dove Tale Bahamas-Bound (Atlantic Highlands to Oriental NC)

.
kneeling in front of the engine looks very familiar. I have a small stool that is very handy for that. it also helps petite people to climb up to the V berth.

Re: Cape Dory 30-36 Chainplates

yes the 30 is tied into a steel structure but it is not glassed into the hull. it is behind the settee and has no corrosion problems.

Re: cutting a new hatch in sailboat

I believe I would buy another boat than cut a hole in the cockpit floor. That being said .. I'm pretty sure that pacific seacraft and island packet have done it.
