I’ve used MRCOOL Marine to replace all three coolers — heat exchange, transmission and oil.  Use the part numbers from the w58 manual to index to the replacements.  Pictures accompany each cooler and they will install a zinc plug if the unit doesn’t come with a standard plug, i.e., the transmission cooler.

We are very interested in Green Cove, having stored our boat there for many years.  Can you tell us what damage, if any, happened to the boats in the storage yards?  So many of them belong to our friends.  Robert and Diane Richmond, s/v Silver Girl

Ken on Painkiller told us he took out his fuel tank.  As I recollect, he got it out in one piece.

Hey, Tor, where are you?  Hope you are having big fun!  We are in the workyard.  Hope to be in the water in 1-2 weeks and gone soon after.  Heading south.  No specific plans, but would love to make it to a safe place south, such as Luperon, for the hurricane season.  Very ambitious, we know, for us, but it might just work out.   Love, Diane and Robert

Hi Norris Larsen. I hope you don’t mind sharing your mast step/shoe stories. I’ve known and work with Tor Pinney on Silver Heels, for several years as we were in Green Cove Springs Marina together. I’m re-rigging Silver Girl, and the original mast step/shoe was very badly corroded. I’ve had a local machinist use the existing plate to fashion a new shoe, and I’m getting ready install it. Two problems: how to install the new shoe so that I’m really close to the original fore/aft, midship and level line. I had to grind of the old lag screws heads to remove the old shoe and I using their shanks as a guide in the slots of the new shoe, but how does one assure the shoe is level (the work yard doesn’t use a level to stand the boat), and plumb for the mast re-insertion. Second problem: since I can’t get the lag screws out of the step the mast sits on, I don’t know the length of the replacement lag screws. I would appreciate any info. Thanks, in advance. …Robert Richmond s/v Silver Girl #161

Pat, Thanks. The forum will make it a lot simpler and cleaner to search for historical information, and reduced the number of times that generous contributors spend reviewing topics for memory-afflicted (like myself) or new members. I’d like to ask, however, if, given the public nature of this forum, that these email addressess are going to be “harvested” for later inclusion in someones spamming attempts. …sv/ Silver Girl
