    Re: Removal of State Room Door Jamb

    Replacing appliances as they wear out is an ongoing process. It's disturbing that the designers of most
    boats don't take this into consideration when they plan the details of a boat. It makes me think that
    few, if any of them actually ever owned a boat. If they did they had to be brand new boats that rarely
    needed to have appliance changes. What would it have taken to make the door openings just a little
    bigger? Idiots......

    You know, for what this is going to cost in time and money, you could just buy a lot of clothing. Just saying.

    Just kidding, too.

    I am actually surprised that in many cases, the appliances will fit out through the salon staircase. That was a worry of mine when I first joined the site. In this case though, the stairway seems to prevent it. On my 53, even the fridge (without its door) can exit to the salon if lifted up over the back of the aft dinette bench. I wouldn't have thought that possible until I measured everything. Of course, it will take a few guys to make that maneuver.

    Here are some pics of the old ALL-In-One laundry center installed. I was able to remove the dryer from the top and get it out in one piece. However, the washer was a little more stubborn and got to meet my friends sawsall and Fein tool....

    Just one more example of some idiot working close to quitting time at the factory. I actually made a
    flange for mine that enabled me to remove and re install for cleaning purposes. Very simple....like the
    simple minds that took the original short cut. I would expect to see something like that on a Bayliner
    but not on a Hatteras.

    Walt,
    I think it was originally secured. It looks like the hose degraded over the years from water getting in the opening and heat cycling, and time. Its an old hose.

    And this is no Bayliner.
