Hello, Checking back in on Bimini you built. I am new to doing anything on salt water. Debating using aluminum or stainless pipe for Bimini. How is aluminum holding up?

Sweet

Not sure I have ever seen the aluminum sign material for sale here in South Dakota at steel supplier. Like it a lot though, pipe bender was extremely cheap as was the notcher. That is a definite for the project. Could also use it for a radar tower build etc. thanks for the post will use the...

Looking at building something similar on a Nordic tug 32. What you have done looks great. What did you have into pipe bender and notcher? Have tig, also not familiar at all with the sheets you are putting down. What is that?

I did not know I could just change bulb. Figured I would be changing all fixtures.

Solar As I pursue the solar idea. Does anyone have a solar worksheet they like to use? Is it better to try to buy a system in a kit or buy the pieces and put it together.

Great information from someone using solar. I am wanting to set up our 32 ft Nordic tug with solar on pilot house roof. There is a 9 ft x 10 ft area up there fairly flat. Had assumed I would just bolt down as many panels as would fill space and not adjust them. Sounds like tweeking them...

Electric to propane Sounds like just what I need to do. Tell me what you used for a stove and how much solar you have to make this Happen??

I am considering also installing a gas range oven combination. Have wonder what brand is a good one. I am at a Marina with no power, so we are off the grid all the time. What brand are you looking at?

Found the Howard feed and wax. This looks like the way to go. Have put down some of the howard restore and now will use the feed and wax. For a wood with only an oil finish this seems like a great idea.

Salon finish Thank You for the replies. I tried some Howard restore, looks pretty good will probably go this route. Gives it a nice luster.

The wood on interior of boat is looking old. For the most part it is free of stains etc, has been oiled in the past. Long past, wife likes it really shiny. So why not just put marine varnish on it. Anybody have experience with this.

Engine room insulation Good responses, Have removed the loose material. The dust was not a problem because the foil is containing the dust. It will all need to come out eventually. What a crummy material. On a side note Do any of you have an airhead composting toilet. The install is...

All good information. Sounds like removal is not an issue and replacement is not on priority list. Might paint and check noise level. Insulation has been up 30 years.

Engine room sound insulation what is it? Is it a hazard to take down? I am in the process of installing an air head composting toilet. What is the black foam looking foil faced insulation which is coming down and crumbly. I also think most of The boats odors are held in this material.

Anchor Hello, We have a 32 ft Nordic Tug on a lake in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Drug anchor last year on two occasions. Will do some research and if the other 32 ft tug does not take it I would be interested. Will measure shank on current anchor and see how long shank is to see if...
