    Anchor washdown

    Nice. Does the water flow as you plug it in? Like an internal valve ? (Assuming pump is on)

    Anchor washdown

    Barking Sands has recommended one. I asked him because I have a 1" ID line going from the aft pump already up there (and also HD cables for a thruster). The damn hose runs left/right/over the river etc. I was just gonna cut it off, it's plugged in the anchor locker. Anyway, what/where do you...

    Ford Lehman 120 fuel leak

    Don't know if it applies in your case, but I have had luck getting parts from a New Holland tractor dealer. But I second the electric pump.

    Proposed boating safety law in Florida

    I lived near by. It's a piece of cake now that the new bridges are in compared to old Loveland Town.

    Window Canvas

    There are "directional" snaps. On a flat panel not needed, only where pull on the fabric is at an angle to the surface. Drawback - if anyone on the boat tries to "help" you with them, they will tear the crap outta the canvas if they don't know how. Anyone who can fog a mirror can make a flat...

    Forward Hatch 81 Californian 34 LCR

    Comment - note the term "escape hatch". Do NOT have a cover of any kind snapped to the deck. YOU may be able to force it open, but a woman or child ?

    Adding city water inlet to CHB 34

    If you do a city connection, they are notorious ankle breakers in a walkway. The event of a leak is easily negated with a lawn sprinkler gallon limiter in the line.

    Window Canvas

    The twist snaps are great but pricey and require a stamp cutter to make the holes right. They are usually not needed if the pull is in a straight line as with flat panels. Walk past one on the side deck & see if it takes a bite outta you. Want smooth ? How about 3M Snads.

    Window Canvas

    Don't suppose anywhere near Maryland? Well, here's a thought. If you cut your material out to fit your shapes, mail it to me to reinforce and edge it. As long as they are flat panels no problem. If you are DIY, get a cutter blade for a soldering gun & the edges won't fray.

    Portlight outer rings

    While I was working on phelps in the yard, I did some canvas work for a yard-neighbor. Discussion included Phelps , and the ruined teak inside at the portlights. All rings were broken (surprise) and PO went ape-s**t w/5200. Looks like the underside of a school desk. Anyway, this guy just happens...

    Replacing Shaft Coupler Bolts?

    And the final touch would be buying bolts/nuts drilled for safety wire. Prob overkill, but what the heck. In for a penny......

    Picking a new name for our tug

    Going to go thru the same thing with Phelps. Now that (it/she/he?) is launched and floats, time to get more serious. Wife already nixxed Wet Spot. I'm thinking since it was made in Tiawan, how about "Khoudung"...........?
