I bought a 1980 424 in August and am doing extensive renovations to most
systems. I have stripped the wallpaper and foam from the hull in the
forward cabin. Hull seems pretty darn thin. should i reinforce the area of
the hull between the shelving and the v berth? I plan to do some offshore
sailing. Previous owners stayed mainly in shallow inland waters in New
Orleans area. How would you go about reinforcing the hull? Mat, then 1/4″
balsa, then mat, then woven roving? How expensive/time consuming will this
be? Is it necessary? What else, if anything need do to the hull to sail in
the windwards and around the Caribbean? Thanks from Jim in New Orleans_______________________________________________

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!My trim was leaking badly and caused all of the teak damage to my interior
cabintop teak. We removed the trim and using some thickened epoxy filled the
holes and left it ugly. When we clean up the cabintop this spring I plan to
put a vinyl trim on the cabin top to cover up the filled holes with no gel
coat over them.This is similiar to what Hi Flite did: http://www.hiflite.org/eyebrow.htm

I considered using TREX for decking in my cockpit but decided to go with

epoxy following the West System instructions. The stuff is durable and
flexible, but you’d still have to drill holes to mount it. In theory, it
could remove the screws after the epoxy sets, but filling the holes without
gravity to help might be difficult.Rich

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!As planed I left it as-is and just did a proper replacement. I have AC power
again!Part list for the archive:
– 20′ of 10awg3 Ancor shore power cable
– 7′ 10awg Ancor white primary wire
– Blue Sea A Series Toggle Double Pole PN# 7238
http://bluesea.com/category/3/11/productline/overview/19
– Ring Terminals for 10Awg WireOut of the 20′ I was able to make the main connection to the breaker and
from the 7′ the wire from breaker to the AC break out panel. The Green wire
in the triple actually hooks into the ground as the wire comes through the
hanging locker, so you will strip off a lot of the insulation.The wires connected to my shore power plug were only covered with electrical
tape. There is a proper cover for the back I plan to buy. They probably left
it off because the 6awg Type 2 wire they used was very stiff. Here’s a shot
of that if you also see electrical tape and want a proper cover.

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!OK, after looking into this a bit more, I’ve decided I’m not ready to dig
into this now and it’s not realy neccesary. Since it’s winter we need the
AC Power to make the boat comfy.I’m going to properly size the wire to the existing plug and drop in a 30AMP
main breaker. I’ll look at the individual circuit breakers and see if they
need to be downsized. I think the 30amp ones that were in the panel may have
all been spares anyway. (Need to take some pics of that so I can sit at my
desk and be sure about it)Not planning to go to Europe and since we plan to be very infrequently in
Marinas we’ll rely on Solar, a Honda EU2000i with the engine as the backup
to both those for charging in Mexico and beyond.Need the AC to make it through the winter…

Hi Patrick,
Here’s the thing: even if you put a 50 amp cord and stuff, the boat is only
wired to handle one leg of the 220v circuit. Surprisingly, that’s not all
that unusual. I’ve seen large-ish motor yachts wired that way.If you’re going to Europe where there’s 220vac single phase current, you
have to have a step-down transformer to run the normal boat loads. Stuff’s
just not wired the same there. It’s easier for a foreign 220v boat to hook
up here to 50 amps (2 hot leads, 1 ground) than it is to take a 50 amp
110v
single leg boat and hook it up there.What you could do (and I would if I were going to 50amps) would to put a
second AC panel and box for big loads – heaters and air conditioning,
refrigerator, etc. and the other 50 amp leg to run all the other ac loads.
Then you’d have something!Bob

On a more fun note, we had a nice trip this weekend to Blake Island in
Puget Sound. On the way home we sailed in 20kts of breeze with gusts to the
mid 20’s. All downwind or beam reach under jib alone with following seas and
current. It was nice to do 6+ kts with ocassional 7kts for our nice short 2
hour jaunt.-p

Patrick,
I haven’t replaced that breaker, but I’ve replaced others (to change the
amperage) and Blue Seas breakers fit those other slots. I’ve also used
Blue
Seas meter to replace a dead AC Ammeter and add one for my SSB. So I
would
go with the Blue Seas. I have a Marinetics panel (The Blue Seas of the
70s), Pearson may have changed to something else before the end of the
P424
run.On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 4:46 AM, Patrick “Peaboy” Walters <

the Blue Sea Systems 30Amp A Series double toggles are a match to the

I am just now, finally, scanning all of early Pearson 424 newsletters so
they can be put online. Does anyone have a hardcopy (or searchable pdf) of
issues 26, 27, and 28? I have 1 through 25 and 29.Pete

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Thanks for that first hand experience Tor. I’m probably overbulding
everything a bit, but I’m hoping I’ll be happy I did so down the road.-p
