I for one appreciate Don's post and would like to thank him in public for posting and for e-mailing me his spreadsheet. I found it interesting and informative. I know that everyone is different and spending is variable based on income and inclinations. Like many (most?) of us, I can't argue with...

Comodave's suggestions are relevant for a self-contained unit in a cabinet, but I believe that we are talking about a compressor in ? the engine room servicing evaporators in the existing teak GB boxes, so not applicable in this case. GB stuck with holding plates long after technology had moved...

"Yes, honey, the boat IS for sale. It just takes time,,," ;-)

Congrats Ricky! Sorry to say I have no helpful ideas about the low voltage to the bilgepump. Good luck! Regards, Scott

We have a 1992 32 GB, had a second depth unit installed with a inside-the-hull transducer, and it works great. I am not sure of the model, the sounder head is a Furuno and I think that it's an Airmar transducer. Looks like the P79 from the Airmar website. It is mounted just to starboard of the...

Years back we had a GB 42 with a single 120 v. Grunert compressor serving 2 boxes with holding plates, one fridge and one freezer. Shore power or generator required to run. Performance was terrible and a town the size of Nanaimo would go dim from the compressor start up load. Water cooled so the...

In the diagram below, ref. #2 is the o-ring. If you nick or gouge it while inserting the tube bundle during re-assembly you will get exactly the symptoms that you describe. $11 with shipping here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123724187269 Regards, Scott

I had a 42 GB with 3208N's. I pulled the cooler bundles as a planned maintenance item. Tested, no leaks. Next cruise, while underway, coolant leaking thru overflow on starboard engine. Short story long, I had gouged one of the large yellow internal o-rings on re-assembly. No leaks at idle, but...

On previous bigger boats we had a bigger tender with a small depth/plotter unit. Now we rely on a handheld sounder, looks like a flashlight. Works fine for us, but I DO miss the bigger boat and bigger tender! ;-) Regards, Scott

+1 for Tohatsu, we have a 9.9 EFI electric start and it's AAAA++++, I had a Honda on a prior boats dinghy and had nothing but trouble. 20 HP available with power tilt. Good luck! Regards, Scott

I have a 32 GB and it is missing the rubber bumper that goes in the hardware that secures the saloon door in the open position. I have searched without success for this part. The base that inserts into the SS tube is +/- 3/4" in diameter, and it appears that the "button" or mushroom top portion...

I got replacement keys for the Legge locks on our GB from Bellingham Lock & Safe in Bellingham, WA. (Generic, not Legge.) I would assume that a good locksmith in your area (CT?) would have blanks. Good luck! Regards, Scott

I just did my handrails and caprail with Semco teak sealer. Removed failing varnish with heat gun and scraper, sanded with 60 grit, and applied 2 coats of Semco. There are various shades available, I used a 50:50 mixture of Cleartone and Natural. Semco will never peel, wash and add a coat every...

Try Wards Marine Electric.

We are on our 4th Grand Banks, 3 with cable steering. All have/had auto pilots. Current 32 has a Comnav autopilot, works great! https://comnav.com/autopilot/ Good luck! Scott

Is this for your Grand Banks? If so, the factory used small plastic "collars" with circuit numbers where wires connect to buss connectors, and where circuits originate at the DC panel in the engine room. Disregard this if not a Grand Banks inquiry. Regards, Scott

MV Calypso, Thanks for a most informative post! Are the new tanks steel or aluminum? And would it be ungentlemanly to inquire what the ballpark price was? Very cool that you got a topsides repaint for "free." Thanks again. Regards, Scott

Maybe the rudder angle indicator is off. Check the linkage in the lazarette. Regards, Scott

Hi Don, I went to the boat today and took some photos. This is a 32 GB, smaller version of the same table. We have had a 42 and two 46's with the same table. As others have said, simply pushing down on either end of the insert should make the opposite end pop up. Some are stickier than others...

I installed a hydronic heat system on a 46 GB in 2011, using Uponor pex pipe. I purchased a cheap manual compression tool and assembled the system using compression fittings. It leaked like a sieve! (Cheap tool = P.O.S.) I then re-did the system using Uponor expansion fittings. I was lucky...

Here is a solution...
