I have used this product to remove a thru hull transducer. It works. https://harbourchandler.ca/debond-marine-formula/

Thanks for the replies. Gave up a nice fishing boat for a trawler. No regrets. (good name for a boat) PO was good enough to wire for some Scotties. Prawning has been good on this boat. No time for some blood.

Wondering if anyone has tried fishing with a 120 Lehman. Trolling speed of 2-3 kts. I know it is not recommended to idle the engine for very long, but would it be a bad thing to go at this speed for a couple hours once operating temperature is up? Cheers

Trying to track down a used 3G radome. Could be Simrad, Lowrance or B&G.

Nope. But after I looked at how small and tight it was I couldn't imagine it releasing much vapour. It is probably where the air got in after it depressurized at night or after powering down.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I believe DDW is the winner. The unit does have a breather port, but nothing in the install manual to suggest a drain hole. If it does decide to reboot, I will drill a drain hole in it and cover it with some mesh to keep critters out.

We were getting a fault reading on the headunit.

Has anyone had this problem? Mine is a Raymarine 3G maybe 10 years old. I opened it up and there was 1/2" of water. No signs of water intrusion, sealed tight as a drum. Quick search suggests condensation from greenhousing effect. This from Tech support: Response By Email (Raymarine Tech.)...

All good just spoke with him.

Does anyone know what has happened to this company? I had contacted Brian last week and he did reply. Now I get no response to emails and a busy signal for the last couple of days. I hope everything is OK.

Stripped bleeder bolt I had a small drip on top of the first secondaries. After removing the bolt to replace the copper washer I discovered the internal threads were stripped. After 40 years of being loosened and tightened or over tightened. I'm considering removing the filter and rethreading...

Broke down and bought some Stabond. Ill keep you posted. Thanks for the replies.

I did try the 5200 Dave. Sanded area and cleaned with MEK. Also done in garage so temp and humidity were fine. Allowed to cure for a couple of months. Failed an hour after raised on davit.

Has anyone found a glue to affix pads to the floor of a RIB?

If any of you has not read the book "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing, do yourself a favor.

Found this on the Lee Valley site. I'm going to give it a try. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/locks/cabinet/41981-cut-sliding-door-locks

Inline T with ball valve right after the strainer. $100cdn. This was a BB flush. next connect waterline from FW tank to ball valve, just a quick rinse if she is going to sit for a week or two. Managed to remove a lot of crap from the RWC.

Seems to me to be a bit on the high side, but if that's what you want and you've been looking for a while I wish you the best. Tony Koch is a good local surveyor. he may know the boat. 1 250-714-4747

Big job. Good to hear your looking forward to it. Big payback in knowing how everything is connected and for resale. Good Luck!

An oil analysis is also an option that can tell you a lot about the engine. The oil should have at least 10 hours on it. Check batteries as well. Good luck!

It's hard to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian salmon in the water. Even more so if it's wild or hatchery. But if it is clipped and analyzed it's easy. Even wild wild salmon have DNA markers that can be tested to determine river of origin. But to commercially target a run...

I use a small USB fan. The small cord is sealed by the door gasket.

Living vicariously through these guy's lately. The one "kid" lives aboard an older Monk 36' in San Diego. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcshR6d5OQ4eEhN4bmvyc5w Small following but I like their style. He has done a few other videos with other channels.

Thanks for the replies, sounds like a no brainer. Any recomendations on makes and models? Cheers

Was wondering how many of you have one onboard. I have heard that they can improve charging. They also help you get more out of your alternator. Question is are they worth it. External Regulator | Pacific Yacht Systems
