Yup. 1 1/4″ I replaced mine recently.
You can find this stuff cheaper but the trick is shipping it cost
effectively.Pete

The DVD ones are about $150 now in this size. I decided to keep that
external as it will likely be Blu-Ray instead or just play from my computer.On 12/11/2012 3:41 AM, calicojack wrote:
I’ve had one of those for about 2 years, I got the one with the built in DVD. It works great. Of course I paid a lot more back then.

Picture attached.
removable hinges attach each board the bulkhead. The vertical panel on
the blukhead over the engine also hinges up.I had to modify after I widened the bed since the front could no longer
fold down to the sole. It is now just a removable panel and all of the
latches are not on the front instead of the two on the sides.Pete

Hi All:
I can’t find the photos of converting the engine cover to three sections. Help.
!’m going to remove the engine for gaskets and re painting. I plan to scrape off the thirty years of oil leaking into the engine pan & bilge.
I also plan to start drinking again just as soon as I get started with the project!
Much Appreciated / Jack “MOJO”

For what could be the very best sign, see the link to the article I sent
earlier in this string.Pete

Just this true story:
There is a little sign available at many boat stores that states-
“Do not put anything in this marine toilet unless you have eaten it first.”
To which one Captain I know couldn’t resist adding-
“For your convenience, the Captain has provided mint-flavored toilet paper.”
The sign came down when one female guest complained that the paper wasn’t at all minty. We never did figure out if she was bluffing._______________________________________________

Ahemm. On our boat, Regina Oceani, (queen of the ocean), we say “It is
good to be the queen” and “It is great to be aboard the Queen”On 12/2/2012 9:44 AM, Silverheels wrote:

the court. She spun around ready to slap the offender, saw it was the
King, and simply curtsied and said, “Good morning, your Highness.”
That’s when the King turned to the camera with a merry leer and said,
“It’s good to be King.”I concur.

While on the topic… On our boat, no one is allowed to pee over the
rail, including the girls!What’s the one common feature of almost all sailors found dead after
falling overboard?
Their pants flys are down.Pete

Quote:Bob,There was a Jack Nicholson movie years ago in which his dominating wife
made him sit on the toilet to pee, for the same reason you have that
rule on your boat. There was a great scene when, right after the wife
passed away, Nicholson goes into the bathroom to take a leak. He starts
to sit, suddenly remembers that his bitchy wife is no longer there,
begins peeing in the toilet standing up, and then slowly turns around
360° while continuing to urinate, a triumphant grin on his face. He was
reclaiming his manhood and marking his territory. Great scene.Not all guys are as secure in their manhood as you, Bob. They want to
stand. Of course, the captain’s rules are the law, so on your boat they
sit. Just hope one of them doesn’t someday feel compelled to reassert
his manhood and mark his territory.🙂

Don’t read it on the head. They say that’s bad for hemorrhoids…

We have also experienced cracking of the plastic pump housing, at the base. Perhaps due to vigorous pumping action after a #2.Joe,

Besides, could freshen up the smells of the bilge… ;^)

Quote:Pete and Tor’s input is consistent with my experience. When I had new
engine mounts fabricated 4 years ago, there was a good deal of fiberglass
work done. This was in the winter so the boat was closed up. There was a
strong smell on the days the resin was applied, but it went away in a few
hours. When gelcoat was applied I moved off for two days. When I returned
there was only a faint odor of the Styrene.John

For all who long for more convenient access to the built in shelf of the old Pearson ice box, there is hope! I found a sliding shelf unit at the Simply Human store that fits perfectly! The unit has a base that can be mounted on the old FG shelf and consists of a very nice chrome (SS?) sliding shelf that has adjustable dividers to fit your whatever. And it was reasonably priced.

Fill bilge with oil, keep engine immersed… (Sorry Joe, couldn’t miss
that chance).Too bad, I had a block and sent it to the recycling after stripping the
key parts off it for selling. I would have gladly given you the pan if
I still had it.Pete

Well I ordered a new oil pan from Discount Marine after checking several distributors across US about 3 weeks ago. Was told Oct 14th delivery from Westerbeke since it was backordered.After badgering Westerbeke and them refusing information they’re now hoping a Nov 20th delivery from “their supplier’.Hey-engine is pulled-oil pan was patched by previous owner using marine tex.
Anyone have a source for used? Other suggestions.May take oil pan to a weld shop-see if it can be repaired..Are there substitutes for the oil pan?
I could be going South right now-stuck in the marina watching boats stop here on their way South-[Little River,SC- Coquina Harbor].Not a Happy sailor.

Or you hot watet heatet never heats up.
Sent from my Samsung smartphone on AT&TRobert Fine wrote:An airlock will result in overheating within 5 minutes. As far as the
engine knows, there’s no water in it (not true, but thats how it appears to
instruments and sensors). If it didn’t happen then, then when you leave
next time, make sure your sails are uncovered and your anchor’s ready!Or, just run the engine for 10-15 minutes and allow it to come up to temp.

How does one know one has an air lock in the engine’s cooling system.
What is the symptom?I’m not being terse. I’m being curious.

Dennis,
Since I glassed in a fuel tank under the salon floor I have some
intimacy with this matter… On my 424, there are indeed vertical
supports of the cross beams. These are roughly even with the inner edge
of the water tanks. They are just 2 x 3s or 2 x 4s mounted vertically
and cross bolted into the beams. They are glassed in to the hull and I
believe there is a plywood pad under them to spread the force around a bit.Pete

Hi All,
The saloon floor around the mast felt kind of soft. On examination I noticed that there was a gap between the bottom of the bunk and the saloon floor.
More access to the bilges has always been on my list, so I removed part of the cabin sole in this area.
There are two supports that run across the boat, but they do not have any support from the hull.
The question is – can one use the structural in-built glass fibre stringers as a base to add vertical supports for the cross beams.
Appreciate any comments
Regards
Dennis
