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.... :)

After careful inspection and some prodding with a putty knife ... I figured out that the hinge side of the forward state room door jamb was screwed in from the back side of the door jamb with brass screws.... I cut the brass screws with my Fein Tool... it was NOT glued to the wall... will have...

Many Thanks to everyone for their input!... To satisfy myself on the condition of the most corroded section of piping.... I gently cleaned off the corrosion along a 3 foot section. I also removed the mounting saddles and inspected condition of the piping underneath.... specifically trying to...

Robert- Very good point about the wood... and I will certainly do that. This area is right below the dryer vent outlet and it seems the dryer vent hose had been disconnected for who knows how long... which allowed an ingress for water... fresh and salt... Thanks!

Brian- I have read through your thread and will re-read it again. I regularly got into cases of worms on my old boat and don't have a problem doing so if the situation dictates.... however trying to work smarter these days. Of course the other underlying thought is also the "should never be...

When I removed my 1976 vintage washer/dryer out of the closet, it exposed a run of wiring and copper water pipes that feeds the forward state room. The copper water pipes had some corrosion built up on them and I gently removed most of it. The pipes on either side of washer/dryer compartment do...

Thanks for the response..... I'm going with ASKO and they are very close to same dimensions (H x W x D) as the Bosch Axxis. I can get the unit through the pilot house door... however on the 58 LRC it has to go down a spiral set of stairs from the pilot house... which it may or may not make...

I'm installing a new washer and dryer in my 1976 58 LRC. I've got the old Kenmore All-In-One unit out by separating them and dissecting the washer. I'll post up a new thread on that whole process.... BUT... right now I'm trying to find the "least destructive" haul path for the new units... they...

Unfortunately, my 58 LRC will be staying in Mystic, CT for the winter. I will take the time to do some needed maintenance, upgrades and repairs. I will be staying in the water and will shrink wrap down to the rub rail. On my previous boat (1989 44 Ocean SS), I always stayed in the water in the...

Here's some pics with Prop Speed recoated... I always did this myself...

I've used Prop Speed for about 10 yewars with great success. I stayed in the water for three seasons and it was only showing minor signs of small barnacles at that point. Howeer, I did keep the boat in Connecticut which is a differnt climate and water. ... It is expensive.... but was worth it...

The boat is my 1976 58' LRC... was cleaning the engine room bilge over the weekend and saw this device.... I'm pretty sure I know what it is... likley some of the more seasoned old Hatt gurus have also seen them... but I thought I would offer it up as a fun trivia question.... what is it?? (it's...

One of the high priority items I have on my maintenance list is to install new gaskets on all 14 portlights. I have 4-5 that have active leaks so I need to get on those ASAP. I've ordered the gaskets from Sams and it appears the ones currently installed may not be the same ones that I received...

Departed Port Washington, LI at 0600 for the last leg and 100 mile journey down Long Island Sound to Mystic, CT. The seas were flat calm all day which made for a smooth ride. Encoutered some fog and a few showers along the way but not much to speak of.... arrived Mystic River Marina at 1545 just...
