Re: 10 meter Express New Dash/Console Project

Well, ran into a stumbling block. Previous owner secured the old dash with 5200 and it is stuck down. Going to see if I can. get a wire to cut it. This is why I do not recommend 5200 for anything. 4200 has excellent adhesion properties and is removable. As far as I am concerned. the entire boat nee...

Re: Help with Water Tank access on 1980 F30 Sport Cruiser

I have not figured out how to get the antifreeze in to the water tank or hot water heater. If its simple, I've complicated it to a point of exhaustion! Pour it in through the deck fill. I've installed a water heater bypass. Without one, winterizing would be a PITA. Think it through. You'll figure i...

Re: 1976 F-32 Shaft Strut Bolt Pattern

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Prowlersfish. I remember when I had time to do that kind of stuff. And I'm pretty sure that if Trojan couldn't be bothered to seal the limber holes that they cut in my stringers, they didn't spend the extra money to use marine-grade plywood as backing plates........

Re: 1976 F-32 Shaft Strut Bolt Pattern

I did this. Save your health and your tooling, take it to a granite countertop shop and have them cut your backing plates on a water jet cutter. Can see my example if you search "tricab underwater exhaust" and "p-dogg". My second choice would be plywood (exterior is fine -- Googl...

Re: Winterizing Batteries

Remember a battery will discharge just sitting . ^^^^^This. If you are not going to keep the batteries on a smart charger over the winter, I would just take them home and store them where freezing is not an issue. On an F-32, I presume that you are not sporting 8D's, so they should be manageable to...

Re: Bulkhead Sealing

On my tricabin (which has pumps forward, middle and aft), there are "emergency" breakers at the bottom of the panel. If you turn off the DC mains, these will stay on. If you have those, that is where you should connect any new (or all of your) bilge pumps. Good luck! Note also that I have ...

If the only reason that you are pulling the motor is to change the plugs, you might investigate these: https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-568-010-Expansion-Plug/dp/B0011MWHY8/ref=sr_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=Dorman+Expansion+Plug&qid=1600121217&refinements=p_n_availability%3A1248792011&s=aut...

Re: tri cabin wiper motor grounding

When faced with a zero-extra width piece of fabric after I took down the overhead just inside the aft cabin, I glued the removed fabric to a piece of 1/4" ply, then screwed it into place, using small screws in lieu of the staples in the cover trim around the edge, which had been glued to the fa...

Re: tri cabin wiper motor grounding

After further review..... You may be able to access the windshield attachment by only pulling the plywood piece that spans the slope at the overhead height transition. If you can find and reach the ground wire bolt there, you may be able to avoid half-assing it, or waiting. Wipers are a safety featu...
