Re: 12 Meter Pulpit

El L Sea, did you have the "block" that raised the windlass up about 4 inches before you switched? Or did the previous owner do that too? I think the thickness of the pulpit plus the decking would rule out a vertical windlass. I have to do more research on that. The current design is is to...

Re: 12 Meter Pulpit

Now I have to decide to restore the Sea Wolf 520 windlass or get something new. The block that lifts it needs glass work, the unit itself needs work. The new stainless stuff is more low profile. Anyone change theirs out?

Re: 12 Meter Pulpit

Thanks Prowlerfish for the idea. Took a while, but adding wooden wedges and making it spread apart every few days worked.
It finally popped out today, maybe because it got up to a nice 61-degrees out. Below freezing tomorrow night.

Re: 12 Meter Exhaust Pipe Cracked

That's nuts! Especially with a waste line. Loosened the clamps on the 8-inch and of course neither side will budge. Tried putting a putty knife in from one end to loosen up the seal. No luck. Will try some heat next. If that fails we have two options 1) cut the hose in half and we should be able to ...

Re: 12 Meter Pulpit

Ok so I removed the 10 carriage bolts, the windlass, the foot switch, two stanchions and the remote spot light. i can only get it to move slightly. I cleared out all the caulk as much as I could and a putty knife goes through the stuff that is deeper. Would there be lots of caulk between the pulpit ...

Re: 12 Meter Exhaust Pipe Cracked

Yes, pipe is glassed into the hull. Changing the entire pipe is not an option. The pipe extends inside the boat. One thought is to cut away the broken part and then buy a longer 8-inch hose.

12 Meter Exhaust Pipe Cracked

Muffler Pipe.png While I was winterizing I noticed water dripping from my port exhaust joint where the 8-inch rubber pipe joins to the molded fiberglass pipe just before it exits the boat. The layout is exhaust manifold to the muffler to the 8-inch hose to the fiberglass exhaust pipe. With the moto...

12 Meter Express Wing Vents

I searched all of the forums for "wing" and I came up with nothing. Taylormade systems has what they call "wing vents" in my windshield. I'm replacing the handles as well as the foam gasket. I can't seem to find the gasket anywhere. Left a message with Taylor Systems. Anyone loca...
