I see it sold. Going to be selling mine - moving way south from Maine and she has to go.

I just replaced my fridge - the orginal Summit had a defrost timer issue - i.e. - it would not automatically defrost. This caused the coils in the freezer compartment to get all iced up after about a week, after which my wife would manually defrost the thing with a hair dryer. It was a royal pain! I...

Any one made progress on these leaky windshields? Another season has started for me and I would like to tackle these leaks. Thanks!

Here's my steps - 1 - 2 - 3. I wanted to keep my old plastic ones that my parents bought me before my Dad died - but needed something high enough to get up to my Tri. http://www.jeagasystems.com/boat/steps1.jpg http://www.jeagasystems.com/boat/steps2.jpg http://www.jeagasystems.com/boat/steps3.jpg

First season painting the bottom, and when I did a close inspection on the engine intakes, looks like the last owner had painted some heavy over them. The Starboard one has I would say about 75% of the open holes, while the Port side has maybe 50% open. Looks like just paint covering these very smal...

I used a heavy-duty plastic like tarp - like the one you see all around me in the pictures. Darn thing weighs over 70 pounds. I use a single 30' x 50' tarp (6 oz type) and always use new lines each year to tie it down tight - no flapping. That way I get no marks whatsoever.

Thanks Tim!

I have some but not all of the electrical diagram and could use the ones that I am missing if anyone has them. I have what appears to be the base diagram that shows both the 12V and 110V systems. It then references 3 other diagrams - A, B and C. C - this one is thge 110V system which I have. I am mi...

Took off the big tarp yesterday - actually it "de-tarped" itself when I had all the lines undone and a nice gust of wind came along. Here are some pics - right now surrounded by too many boats still under cover. http://www.jeagasystems.com/boat/uncover1.jpg http://www.jeagasystems.com/boat...

I had an old 2-step one from Defender that I used for my smaller boat that was a gift. When I got my tri-cabin last year it came with some homemade steps that were way too narrow. I wanted to incorportate my old steps for sentimental reasons, so I built a platform to incorporate them to get the prop...

I have refinshed the salon entry door, and would like to replace the latch set. I thought I found a nice brass replacement until I realized that the backset was not correct for this new one. I am looking for a latch set for this small door - that has a 1 1/16" backset. Has anyone else replaced ...

The marina I am in now doesn't allow any shrink warp - unlike the previous place that did - and used to cost me about $300. At least we can cover our own - so I went with a the Kover Klamp system. I was lucky cause I had a bunch of the clamps left over form when my Dad had a 34' Silverton back in th...

Here on the coast of Maine I usually shoot for the 1st of April to remove the tarp - knowing all too well it will snow at least one more time. This year the ground is bare right now - very unusual - but glad for it.

Still .. in this neck of the woods - April IS a winter month.

The forward head in my tri-cabin is a piece of S***. It was not hooked up correctly, and smelled bad last year because of permentation. My plan is to put in a new holding tank and do it right. The current situation has no ability to pump over the side, even though there is a macerator pump in place,...

Thanks for the advice - I will go crawl under the tarp and check things out today - supposed to be in the high 40's here in Maine which for the middle of February is a nice surprise.
