A very late reply to this thread, but just thought I would share something that I have experienced. In hard rains I occasionally found the salon carpet wet in the aft port corner. Took a while to track it down, but root cause was caulking of the port side salon window frame. Rain was apparently gett...

For those who have installed A/Cs in an F32 below the electrical panel (beside the stairs to the lower cabin), or run ductwork through that space, have you had any problems with condensation induced corrosion in the breaker and fuse panels ? My A/C currently sits under the forward bench seat in the ...

Probably kinda late for you, but I use 3/16" packing on my F32. 3 rings is preferable. Stagger where the gaps in the rings are (ie one at 12:00 position, one at 4:00 position, one at 8:00 position). I found the simplest way to cut the right lengths of packing for the rings is to simply 'coil' t...

Are you looking for full-blown monitoring of bilge pumps, battery levels, etc... , or just position tracking (in the event of it being stolen or 'borrowed' by someone at the marina?)

Don't know how much help this might be, but my father used to have a 28' 1969 'Sea Skiff' model (100% woodie). It's a bit newer than yours, but the hull dynamics might not be too different. For power he had a single Chrysler 383 (260hp I believe). At 2000 RPM it would do about 12knots; 15 knots at 2...

Oh yeah - and I have been running with this breaker for the past 2 years problem-free.

Actually found this in an old email. They actually got me a different part number as per the following... Total cost to me was $192 USD for the breaker + the $18.50 S&H, and that was back in May of '06. I also had brokerage fees, customs / taxes, and Canadian/US dollar exchange rate to deal with...

If you are still looking for the breaker, and if it is the main 30A breaker for your shore power panel.... I got one a while ago from cmsquick.com. EXPENSIVE SUCKER, but exactly the right thing. http://cmsquick.com/prod_17_MQ.html I believe you would be looking for their 30 Amp Mains - Texas Instrum...

I am looking for a place that could rechrome the TROJAN lettering on my '79 F32. Existing finish is pitted and some has peeled/scraped off. I saw the listing for the stainless set for sale elsewhere on the trojanboats.net site, but I think my letters are plastic underneath the chrome (way too light ...

A couple of years ago I had someone do mine for me. The trim around the edge of the window has an 'F' profile; what you are seeing when you look at the windshield from outside is the long 'vertical' part of the F. From inside the boat you will see several screws through the frame. The screws go thro...

I think the plywood doubles as the top of the tank. I had to replace a bad level sending unit about 5-6 years ago. When I had the old unit out I stuck my fingers through the hole and felt around - it didn't feel like there was a fibreglass liner around the perimeter of the hole - only raw wood. I ha...

I have been using a product by Aurora, called 'Sure Step'. It has worked well for me, and I find it actually gets 'sticky' when the decks are wet.

I am trying to replace one panel (cracked) in the windshield on my 1979 F32 Sedan. The biggest problem so far --- getting the old windshield out ! Screws have been removed on the inside of the frame, caulk around the outside has been removed, but having trouble cutting or otherwise removing caulk / ...
