If I’m correct I think guglielmo6160 talking about his non-skid not the hull, to duplicate the gel-coat on the deck would be a pretty hard task. But what about just adding two new coats? When mine was done we did not try to duplicate the old we just covered it all with a new finish... used a roll...

Ready123, Also, not wanting to get into the debate however, I must say I do not agree that gelcoat is better wearing than paint. We can agree to differ... my buddy's F32 has been painted and it does look good but to my eye it is still a painted boat and I just prefer my new gelcoat finishes look. M...

Stay with gelcoat

Not wanting to get into too much of an argument of which is best.... I am a firm believer in staying the gelcoat course. It is much harder wearing than paint, will last much longer and if gel is what is there already why not do more of the same. As has been said before preparation is the key to a gr...

If you mean the Trojan pennant look at the thread for Jimini's pennants below and you will see David Kane has been waiting for you to send him your name & mailing address... I think he has you down as guglielmo60.

I received word that 1 I sent out did not arrive. There are a few I have shipped to that I have not heard from yet. My last mailing was Monday (late afternoon), Dec. 1st. One in that mailing was going into Canada, and that may take a few extra days. If there is anyone else out there who has not rec...

Glad you made it OK in the end. Would GPS charts have helped keep you off the bottom? the boat performed fine, except I had a small problem with fuel diversion from one tank and the other, for some reason my starboard engine was not getting enough fuel from the tank, so I quickly opened the petcock ...

My thinking here is that this toilet will not only look better than the manual one but it will be easier for guests to operate. However, if the guests use the "flush" button every time my 30 gal holding tank will fill up quickly. Along with ease of use it seems that your main concern is f...

Michael, Sorry, my signature disappeared so I thought I had the boat listed. I have a 1986 10 meter mid cabin express. The hull design is significantly different than the F models. It tends to ride a bit bow high. OK I understand.... To get your signature back go to Profile at the top of the forum ...

Re: Electric Head

We presently have a manual Jabsco head that I'm thinking about replacing with a Jabsco "Delux Flush Electric Toilet". I plan on using the raw water rinse pump option with this installation. Has any one done this and if so, what are the pro's & con's. This is an expensive option and I ...

My boat has two nuts the outer one being a castle nut to align with the cotter pin. Using a slim nut and a castle nut should fit fine.
