Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Mine are glassed into the hull in the hanging locker in the v-berth. Looks
like they took vinyl sticky numbers and then glassed over them. Quick and
easy.

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Try contacting them direclty at and they can help you
identify it by the hole pattern of the cover plates and what not if you
send them a picture. That’s how I ID’d mine.

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!I spent $4300 for my new rigging not including the new forestay, which I
don’t have yet, because we just measured it today. I’ll share my full
invoice when I have the final total. This was for swaged fittings all
around with some sta-loks and isolators for my SSB. I also expect to have
one staylock in my forestay as well so I can thread the bare wire through
the foil.I’ll share my full invoice when I have the final total and you can see the
full parts list.-p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!I am having Port Townsend Rigging do all of my new wire. I’ll let you know
the exact total within the week. If you like there price they may be
willing to make you a copy.
There estimate was at least 30% cheaper than the yard and they were WAY
more helpful.I’ll send all the info when I get the bill.

the W-58 manual and parts book. I will do all my instrument

fair price for the full library DVD.Pete

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!I think the only solutions are to put in a new stringer under the floor or
to put in a new vetrical support beam in that area and glass it in. I’m not
sure if either of those would then create a preassure point on the hull or
not.-=p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!That would be good.
For me, I’ll just upload pics to flickr first. I can do that from my phone
too. I was just being lazy.
For docs, I’ll use your drop.io spot or mine http://drop.io/deepplaya-p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!I failed to mention i have a new shaft with keys, nuts for the prop
and a new coupling from Walter Machine. All the shaft work, including
fitting the coupling to the shaft, was done by The Prop Shop in
Mukilteo, WA.Thanks for the tips, I’ll gap it when we’re back in the water. I only
have to go about 3 docks from the haul out to my slip, so no high
speed travel.Thanks!

Bead blasting and painting, another hour plus materials
Machining/mating the old coupling to the new shaft 40 bucks
Finding out from the machinist that it isn’t usable… pricelessIt seems about every other customer insists on going this route. I
suggest
that I let the techs cut the shaft (it’s being replaced anyway),
toss the
coupling and for about $100 bucks you get a brand new coupling
provided by
the machinist that is fit to the shaft and machine faced.Chuck

Proper alignment of the V-drive is essential for vibration free
operation.
Alignment to the engine is pretty forgiving, but the shaft must be
true to
the coupling. If you didn’t muck with the V-drive when replacing
the shaft
there is every reason to assume that it is still aligned. In theory
you
should be able to reinstall the new shaft and be good to go with no
alignment. You’ll know if you are out of alignment because the boat
will
vibrate at cruising speed. It is normal for some vibration in the
cabin sole
next to the engine, but you should not hear cabinet doors rattle
nor should
you feel it in the seat of your pants when sitting in the cockpit.A common problem that may be encountered with alignment is a bent
flange on
the coupling. This can happen if the mechanic gets aggressive with
tools
when separating the coupling from the shaft or removing the shaft
from the
coupling. As long as you are pulling the shaft I suggest having the
coupling
checked. If the coupling is bent, the flange on the V-drive may
also be
bent. In this case you are basically screwed. It is possible to
shim a bent
flange, but its non-trivial. Instructions for checking alignment are
published in the Walter V-drive manual.Regards

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!You definitely need to post some pictures!
I’ve notice a lot (most?) of the 2×4 stands that are glassed to the hull
and through bolted to the cross beams are missing either the bolt
completely or the nut from the bolt! Getting all this back in is on my
list.-p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Funny thing… Nigel Calder’s books:
Cruising Handbook – uses Cutless Bearing
BoatOwner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual – uses cutlassThe crusing handbook also mentions the set screws should be set into
dimples, but does explain how the dimples should be created. Thanks Don!-p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Thanks for the clarification everyone. I’ll be putting the cutless bearing and the propshaft in on my next evening work session. Well be able to float again after that!

In the case of the attached photo, I looks as if the previous installer drilled the set-screw holes before inserting the screws. He would have used a bit smaller than the screw hole. I don’t see why he would have done this. You’d risk damaging the threads for no purpose.Rich

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!They are one-sided, but if we want to go double sided the prices are:
$30 for 12×18″
$40 for 16×24″-p

Subject: Pearson BurgeeHello Everybody,
On the attachment below is a picture of the burgee that the Flagchick sent me. When you blow it up you can see that it is stitched and it looks like the solid body of the P is a piece of fabric sewn on. I don’t know if the 424 would be backwards or not. You would have to ask her that. I’m just going to order the original stock one that she has. Unless there better alternatives.
