I have three of these if anyone is interested. Just pay shipping.

We live aboard so storage and counter space in the galley is really important to us. We never used the galley dinette so we did a bit of figuring and following the lead of Michael & Cindy Ewing on Hatteras58 here on the forums we settled on the design. We're most of the way through the install...

We're re-configuring our galley and will be removing the dinette. Seats and backs are in great shape. Blue in color. Make an offer. I'm in Baltimore but would be willing to drive 50 or 75 miles to meet. Woodwork/frames for the seats will also be removed as well as the drawers if anyone has...

I will be changing out the hoses on two of my heads this off season. In the interim I've been using bromine tabs in the strainers on the raw water side which seems to help. I also took them out of commission and drained the raw water hose and left it for a week to dry and kill what was decaying...

I just bought a sailboat to compliment our '53. It had a fair amount of tannin staining. I'm not planning on hauling the boat until the end of the season but I wanted to try to clean her up a bit before then. I realize Mary Kate ON_OFF works well for this application but I didn't want to use...

So after making a mess in the master shower fixing the AC condensate drain, I was spraying it down. The water drains pretty slowly. My wife has been telling this for a while but as usual I wasn’t listening. Under closer examination there is a lot of hair and soap scum built up. My question is...

I just found that the aft air handler in the salon was blowing out water when the fan was cranked up. 53 MY. Clearly there must be a clog. Where do I begin look to clear it? Thanks

The PO apparently repainted the non-skid areas and didn't do a very good job. I need to put a coat or two of paint over the existing non-skid. I don't think I need to add more nonskid as they went a bit heavy I think. What is the recommended paint to recover the nonskid areas? Also, they...

I need to purchase a small 12v tire inflator for the car and just saw one that is both 12volt and 120 volt. Is there any reason I couldn't use this compressor to pressurize the onboard tank without having to start the motor?

We are live aboards and consequently do a lot of laundry. The v berth has one overhead light just at the steps, and then 3 wall lights, one over the top bunk, one for the bottom bunk and one on the forward bulkhead on the port side. It is always dark in there. I'd like to add LED lighting to...

I just had a co-worker come in and ask what he should do because he has put at least 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of antifreeze into the oil fill on his $85,000 Audi. I asked how far has he driven and he said oh, about 30 miles yesterday and about 20 so far today. I said I would have it towed to a garage...

I had an annoying leak leading into my stb engine room. I finally spent some time yesterday tracking it down and found it under the master head sink. PO hose clamped clear vinyl hose on to the copper which they had apparently cut. This was the hot water line and I'm sure the heating and cooling...

We live aboard in Baltimore and as such keep the boat warm enough that we didn't have any issues with frozen lines last year except for one exceptionally cold snap. I hung a few incandescent light bulbs behind the washer and under the spiral steps and that solved that problem. My question is...

So our 53' sits slightly bow down (not a lot of fuel on board and a pretty healthy inverter battery bank forward) and the forward head seat doesn't stay up all the time. I'm getting ready to replace it with a slow close seat from the big box stores because they use a standard elongated seat...

I put a new diesel forced air heater in the port engine room and was working on getting the duct through to the master. I had to locate a hole from the guest stateroom into the air handler section outboard of the closet in the master. My electrician showed me a neat trick to locate holes on...

My A/C raw water pump is squealing more and more. I've purchased a direct replacement motor and pump but was wondering if anyone has any tips to removing the old one and putting the new one in place. When I went to take pictures last night I realized just how in-accessible the pump and motor...

I've been researching the AC raw water pump and have perhaps a stupid question. I read where you size the pump based on the # of tons (12,000 BTU) in your system. I have 4 individual units of differing sizes (24,000, 16,000 and 2 @ 10,000) all fed by one pump. (Oberdorfer 104M-06 rated at 1250...

So Comcast was out to troubleshoot our lousy connection and naturally they blamed the wiring inside the boat. Does anyone know the routing of the coax from the port inlet at the electrical connection panel to the Stb engine room? I've got to pull new cable and was hoping to get some insight...

The PO apparently put this hinged step leading to the Vee berth area. It is a great little storage spot. I'm wondering if anyone has done the same thing with the two steps leading aft from the galley down engine rooms/state rooms. Seems like a great place to store canned goods or tools. I'm...

It was in my stb engine room by the pins would make me believe that it has to do with the boarding ladders. Sorry the pictures are sideways.
