There were only 4 long screws holding the tank in on our 78, the balance were all shorter, just holding the lid to the tank....was a snap to remove...drill gun and back out screws, a few screws heads were buried but easy to find, pry tank out from between stringers depending on the fit, really only...

I used a sawzall and cut between the wood and tank. once the heads were cut off the tank just lifted out. I used goof off to clean off the goop that was in between the wood and tank. Then went to HD and got 3/4 pvc board. Calked and evenly spaced the SS screws. The tank is back in the boat now Just...

How did you figure out which screws were holding the tank in and which were holding it together, or did you just yank 'em all and figure it out later?

That bow does seem to ride high and stern quite low... Not sure if that is typical of the F26, as many pictures I see online tend to show bootstripe pretty much parallel to waterline... In any event, hope Captain Chill is able to find a solution that works for him at a not too ridiculous cost!

The F26 bow does not sit deep enough in the water to use the Sideshift bow thruster. I've done all the measurements and it won't work. A tunnel bow thruster could work on an F26, but it would have to be pretty far back to be deep enough which means the thruster would need to be stronger than normal...

Here is my fix That I fully believe will work and do a good job . I would like your though on this too Dog House . Mounting one of these under your swim platform .You may need to raise the platform a little and reinforce the mounting (easy) or put one on if you don't have one https://sideshift.com/...

Similar to the above.. my F32 has blue vinyl from the teak down (without the fancy piping / gathering).

Upgraded my 40 year old hydraulic steering system last winter with new SeaStar (used to be Teleflex) cylinder and pumps at both helms to improve reliability and safety. Was able to reuse all hydraulic lines, but you will have to run them. Can try to find info on part numbers tomorrow. Thanks. Im ex...

Wow !!! good news its not a Trojan . I believe it is a Chis craft . I bet you can get a deal on it :mrgreen: It's a 35' or 38' Chris Craft Catalina. Essentially CC version of a Tri-Cab, but they called it a double cabin. Some (don't know if all?)_ had a bathtub in the aft cabin. Don't walk... RUN a...

With the motor retrofit you are at least 300HP low from what the boat originally had based on my quick google search (550hp total was normal). Wandering is often caused by the effects of wave action and wind - not necessarily a steering issue - and being a houseboat with relatively flat bottom that ...

Depends on what parts you are looking for - just light, or whole assembly - but not hard to recreate / refab. Basically stainless steel tube of a certain length and width (not sure if 3/4" or 1" is right) with a bend of a certain angle, with an easily replaced light mounted on the end, and wiring ru...

Yes they are, but they were takin with the phone in its normal vertical position? That's the thing... take the photo in the vertical position, it wants to show up vertical (tall and thin). Take the photo in landscape position (short and wide) it shows up in that perspective. Left handers have the w...

Where and how did you get the specs for the sending units? It was way too long ago that I don't remember... If I remember correctly there are 2 primary types of senders - one is based on current, the other based on resistance. What I replaced the old gauges with was Teleflex Red International, whic...

Your gauges will need to match the senders .You may be able to get gauges with the same specs. I don't believe your gauges are the original . Any close ups ? If I zoom in they get blurry I believe those gauges are original as they match what was originally on my '79 F32. I understood they were 'Det...
