  1. Moving Raw Water Intakes on a 52 Convertible

    Good Morning All: Being on the backside of winter, here in MD, I'm thinking about the projects I'd like to complete this spring. Although I have nary a complaint about my 52 Convertible, I hate the placement of the Raw water intakes. Their location makes winterizing much more difficult than it...

    I would like to install new LED lights in my radar arch. The imtra lights I selected are a 1/4 inch larger than the previous so the cut outs will need to be widened. Any thoughts about how best to expand the diameter in the aluminium arch? My first thought was a deburring bit on my drill. ...

  4. Gotta love California

    Here it is only the 5th of Feb. and winter is just getting going and the geniuses here just starting charging us for the “summer” blend of gasoline. The beauty of that is the price goes up about 12 cents a gallon and surprise diesel fuel also goes up even though nothing is done to the diesel for...

  6. Need Some Chain

    I'd like to come up with some more chain. I currently have just 50' of 1/2" chain with 320' of 3/4 3-strand nylon. I haven't anchored much with this boat, but I think I'll probably be doing more of that in the future. And, I'd also like to be able to handle non-hurricane blows on the hook...

  7. On Plane

    When I drove the boat the first time, we opened it up WOT and got on plane relatively quickly, and were doing 19 knots. I felt it set down and drive differently. The second attempt, later in the trip didn't quite make it on plane, and we were doing 17 knots. I did use trim tabs both times. What is...

  10. I'm considering DIY overhauling both 8v71Ti's in our 58' YF!!

    So I'm faced with several decisions on which direction to go with overhauling in frame or engine swap for our 1972 58' Yachtfisherman. Yes, I am well aware of the size and scope of the project.

  12. Small helm window leak

    In the corner of my curved port helm window I have a very minor leak when the rain is pouring and the wind is howling. I might get two to three drops but it is there and apparently was there when the PO had the boat as some of the teak is discolored. It looks like the black butyl came off of the...

    Considering a Hart tank tendering system for a 1980 61ft MY. Hoping someone with a similar boat might have the depth of the holding tank, both the 550 gal and 650 gal fuel tank in the keel and lower aft water tank. If you also have inches to gallons data that would be a bonus to aid to the...
