No restrictions on cooling flow, I isolated the unit per Pascal's instructions and had good stream into bucket. Also, to clarify, top cool on condenser heats up very quickly as soon as unit kicks in. Here is a pic of the unit: Will take a look at the evaporator side next...

Hello, I've searched various forum strings but cannot seem to find symptoms like ours. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions. 1977 58 MY (galley up) 3 "zones" Cruisair (1) salon, 2) Pilothouse, 3) lower level / all staterooms on one unit). Sea strainer clean (but was very mucked up). Good...

Thanks oscarvan, much appreciated!! I know it is a topic of debate, but the PO had her set up to be somewhat "over-propped" for economy. I had the wheels reconditioned but to the same specs (I'll throw in a pic of the wheels). We averaged 1500 RPM and 10 kts almost the entire trip other than...

Chapter 3 Not complaining, but we never even needed to fire up the stabilizers. Weather and seas were absolutely calm, just amazing. The weather fates were kind to us on our first voyage. We are just thrilled to finally be in our new home port, and now we can really settle in and start the...

Chapter 2 New Plasteak: Splashed and re-christened “Sea Joy” November 20th. A few weeks were spent sorting things out, prepping for the trip and waiting for an acceptable weather window from Pensacola to Punta Gorda. Departed Pensacola December 8th. - Day 1: Pensacola to Panama City...

Hello, In case it is of interest to some, here is a brief summary of our acquisition and first voyage on the 1977 58 MY (Galley up) “Sea Joy” (formerly Finders Keepers). First – a huge thank you to everyone on this forum for the tremendous support, assistance, advice and immeasurable depth of...

Fortunately the PO put them on our FB and underwater at the stern.

Just noticed additional crack in granite on galley bar after haul-out (corners were already cracked when we acquired her last month). I'm concerned about the additional crack that runs the width of the granite about 10 inches from the end where the posts are. We had a similar granite kitchen...

Hello, Insurance company wants to know that I have someone to move the boat if I'm not there (Plan B for hurricane, etc). We are narrowing our marina search to Palmetto / Sarasota and expect to be there in mid-December. Would be grateful for any referrals or recommendations about qualified...

I've been reading the threads on this topic but most are dated from 2008 - 2012. Quite a few of the marinas have had turn-over, or been bought or sold, or in and out of bankruptcy, etc. since then. Just looking for some more recent info if possible. We'd like to find a reasonable monthly or...

Hello - finally closed on the new to us '77 Hatt 58 MY in Pensacola. Spent the past few days cleaning, organizing, learning, and definitely enjoying staying on board. Although I've had a few different Captains on board for excursions (in addition to PO and broker on sea trials), I have not...

During sea trial yesterday the engines would not come close to rated RPM of 2350 at WOT. Engine surveyor says there should only be a ~200 - 250 RPM drop when comparing WOT with no load (neutral) and when WOT underway. It may be that the reasons include over-squared economy prop, some slight...

I have mechanical surveys scheduled today on 1977 58 MY in Pensacola. Planning to do the engine-related sea trial today, and was expecting to do compression checks / bore scope tomorrow. At the last minute, the seller is balking at the compression checks, even through I'm paying for them and...

Hopefully the photo is attached. It states 2 different weights, "Maximum Lift - First Layer: 1,200 lbs" then "Last Layer - 700 lbs". I'd like to put a Whaler 13 with a 40 hp Merc on her (probably right around 700 lbs). Does anyone know the difference between the 2 weight capacities? Thanks...

Hello - I'm new to the forum, but have already learned a great deal in previous months from the group. My research, much of which was only possible due to the expertise and generosity of this form, has culminated in a purchase agmt. I decided not to purchase the "cheapest" option (we looked...
