Re: Upgrade to my F-32 galley

I used that exact wineglass holder, but cut it to fit and painted it to match my Internationals' grey interior lights and Mirrors are a great tool to expand the interior years ago I took the cue from an 11 Meter and added 2 good sized m...

Re: IMPORTANT STEERING ISSUE-INTERNATIONAL SERIES

Special thanks to Duane Jelly, Paul "Prowlerfish" John Leed and Bob Cushman for information on what I might encounter. This repair applies to my 1983 10 Meter Express Cruiser, and likely other Internationals and possibly other series Trojans as well. Yours may look different as during my 2...

Re: 89 mid cabin fuel level sender

NO, DO NOT CUT THE TEAK !

Locate the fuel tank sending unit on top of the fuel tank and carefully cut your hole there for the new deckplate.

The cockpit deck is balsa cored - be sure to SEAL THE EDGES of the hole properly

Also, seal the deck plate with bedding compound
