Just to be sure, you’re talking about Wheatfield Cove, and not the anchorage
south of Gardener’s and Beach? Or are you talking farther north than
Wheatfield? Actually, if we make it into coordinates, there won’t be any
question. There’s a channel on the west side of the harbors that runs up to
these coves. From there, it’s just avoiding the thin stuff.Bob

Yay! I favor quiet spot!

If we congregate inside the break wall, marked with a purple X, then you

dinghy in to Sand Hill Cove, I think. There are a few stores there in
Galilee. The other side of the breach way is called Jerusalem. On Ocean
Road
in Pont Judith is a nice restaurant called “Spain.”The other spot in purple shows the channel, and then where one makes a turn
to enter a sort of tongue of the pond, if you know the tongue of the ocean
in the Bahamas. Quiet, we’ll be on our own, and pleasant. Very calm. There
are some marinas at the north end of the pond, at Stone Cove and at another
spot, both in the upper pond. The channel and depths are well charted on
NOAA charts and electronic versions.I am in favor of the Upper Pond quiet spot. Show of hands?

I also use two per track. Try West Marine with Port Supply if you can.

Don’t let the price scare you. You can get them for much less.

Hi Thatcher,
The v-drive has its own internal heat exchanger – water comes from the
thru-hull, then through the v-drive at the top, then to the pump and on to
everything else. At the top of the v-drive is a plate with 6 bolts. Under
that is where the water flows.Some of those chambers have rusted through or have become clogged with
scale. I know I’m not looking forward to opening mine…Bob

Someone here on the list has just disconnected it from the loop and swears
the drive never gets hot. I believe them. Walters doesn’t recommend it,
naturally. There is no way to fix it as it’s integral to the case. Others
have cleaned and epoxied it as a stop-gap measure.Bob

I plan on arriving around Friday the 8th, maybe as late as Saturday the
9th. I don’t know anything about the area, but I believe if we all bring
something to share we can have an awesome cookout on board. Like last
time, we can raft (with more anchors this time), and the cove appears pretty
well protected.I don’t know about anything else but I have a cruising guide that might be
helpful. I know you can dinghy ashore and get fresh seafood. I don’t need
to go to a restaurant.So, load up on eats and let’s have a party!

I HATE AUTOCORRECT! We’re to have a cookout, not a lookout. Proposed
coordinates are:041 24.5650 N by 071 30.0001 W or thereabouts.
Rich, if no one else chimes in, and it’s only you and I, I’ll also give it a
pass. We were looking at about 8 boats last time the discussion happened.Bob

Hi Rich,
I’m not sure what you mean by take charge, but the plan is to anchor to the
river from Point Judith harbor of refuge. Possibly in a circle. I can send
you with gps coordinates. Thatcher has more experience up there.plan is to anchor, maybe go into town for a meal or to scarf up some food
for a big lookout. Then leave on Sun or Mon as desired.Bob

The contact was Gary (direct 425.745.1700). The prop is made by ZF Prop,

weeks. Evidently it has to be made and is not off the shelf.Higher priced props can be purchased from US companies, but I’ve been told
the quality difference is negligible. This is the first prop I’ve ever
replaced, so I’m relying on my research here. I am replacing the old 3 blade

Hi Pat,
Starboard is NOT a backing material – it flexes and compresses. Use
aluminum, stainless steel, or 1/2″ plywood with epoxy encapsulation. The
transom is strong enough for what you want to do. Make your backing plates
approximately twice the size of the fittings, and you should be good to go.Bob

the point of actually mounting it, but I’m having some second thoughts
about
the strength of the stern to bare such loads with just the two mounting
points. The area of the mounting brackets is approximately 36 Sq. Inches
each and I canwill make the backing plates out of 1/4″ starboard even
larger than that.Question: Is it also neccessary to reinforce an even larger area of the
stern say by laying up 2 pieces of 1/4″ marine grade plywood with epoxy. I
say 2 pieces instead of one 1/2″ piece becasue there is some curve back
there and I think it would be easier that way.If I did that, I thought about initially laying in some copper mesh first
and then the plywood to add to the ground plane for my SSB Antenna.I’m curious what you all think about the stern as well.
Thanks,
