Thanks Peter for your prompt reply. It uses 90 wt gear oil. That has to be the way! It just didn't seem that level would be enough oil. Do you have any idea what the fitting on top of the case is? Pictures on their webpage of other models that look like mine it is the fill plug I'm assuming its...

Hello All. I have a 1977 CHB with an ideal windlass. I can't figure out how to top the gear oil off. I've been to the Ideal site and none of my numbers match what they show so I have no idea what model I have. I have mailed them the pictures below and have yet to receive any reply. The top of...

I think this is great information. A couple of questions...1. Is the primer also used as a reducer? 2. Compared to other systems would you expect the coat to last longer? Thanks

Can you describe a hooked scraper? Picture maybe? I've never heard this term before. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Engine heaters huh? Well that makes sense considering this boat was originally in Alaska. I'll look for plugs the next time I'm on the boat. I wonder why so many? And they appear to be connected in series. Do you feel as I do that the whole mess can be removed and route...

I bought a 77 CHB about a year ago. I'm installing a forced air heating system. It presently has installed, a water heater, and a Red Dot heater that doesn't work. If my understanding is correct the only difference between a marine water heater and one in your home is that engine heat can be...

I'm needing a rebuilt, or new (ha!) injector pump for my Lehmann 120. Does anyone have experience with a reliable vender.

Pete, Yes it is intriguing. Over time owners have added, deleted and re-made, and generally changed the boats to meet individual tastes. This boat has been owned by the present owner for 25years and fortunately I've been able to talk to him. It has been an interesting journey, much like...

Thank You! Very interesting Pete! I am glad you responded, and your comments on salon and layout are right on target. We have been sailing all our lives and loved it, but now in our seventies we realized it was rare that we took friends or family and our 40' boats seemed a waste. Additionally...

Thank You! Peter B, Thanks, I was hoping someone knew something about this boat. The following: https://marine-trader-trawler-nostra-signora.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-good-check-list-for-buying-any-new.html lists several models of he CHB's and as you can see there are a few Sedan models...

So, are you saying the cracks were only in the fiberglass cover? It appears that the arm itself is bronze and I'm not certain what is actually cracked. If its the fiberglass that's an easy fix. If the arm itself is cracked then it has to come off and be re-welded I would think. I'm going to have...

Not new to the forum, but been a "reader" not a poster. With that I'm considering the purchase of a 1977 CHB. The model is like none I've seen before. It is like a Europa version of the Grand Banks or Ocean Alexander. The flybridge extends over the transom and sides where you have a narrow...

Perkins Thank you! I kinda thought that but wanted to hear from someone who had one.

I'm looking at a 1985 Trawler with Perkins 635444M diesel engines with about 3500 hrs. Does anyone know the fuel economy on these engines? How do they compare to the Ford 120's? Thank you!
