Very nice indeed Mariner !!! What size are the screws...Thread size that is ??? Haven't looked at mine yet. If I remember correctly, the originals were wood screws that were about 1-3/4" to 2" and the new screws are 1/4"x20x2". Alan, as for the "next guy" it's only a j...

Just trying to make it nice for the next guy!

Oh yeah, I'm liking that a lot!! Now where did you get the inserts? Stainless? I'm thinking of running a jumper off one of these somehow so I can run a cable down to the keel (lightning protection). The inserts are stainless and they came from a friend who has a machine shop in PA, however they are...

Thought I would start a new post since the "plasteak" one ended up with threaded inserts. http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad276/marinerc22/IMG_1518.jpg attached are a few photos of the mast step that was redone with the inserts. I first drilled down and deep into the step and filled wit...

Can't argue here, I love my tohatsu !

Took a drive over to the plasteak plant near Akron today. I've been thinking about replacing the hatch slides with a combo handrail made from plasteak. The folks there were very nice and gave me a bunch of scraps to practice on! I'll post pics of the end result. I started with removing the wood rail...

I just saw a really good article about repowering a diesel set up with an electric motor , if I can remember I'll post... I know in the free west marine fiberglass newsletter that's by the fiberglass stuff has an article about a electric launch...

Not a bad idea contacting Interlux, manufacturers have been known to help sort out this type of thing and also provide new product at no cost to the customer.....I would try to state your case with both the manufacturer and the shop that sold you the paints.

I'm really sorry the painting did not work out as intended, I for one would never dream of doing a paint job like this myself. However I want to congratulate you for having the gumption not only to attack this project but also to post your results. Hats off to you! Best of luck on the next go round!...

Need a bit more info, there are quite a few small chryslers check outbthe documents section on the home page

welcome aboard!

Can you tell us what kind of paint you used? Thanks

If it costs more than a dollar a lin ft it's a line, less and it's a rope!

Band saw! I got mike a harbor freight, it is identical to the comparable sears craftsman model and half price, no complaints works well.

I'm looking for the cockpit locker hatches ? Do you still have those and maybe the sliding hatch. Let me know.

Mike, it's for real, see the following link from the "for sale" section.

So, I finally got around to getting the boat over my house to work on her, I had stainless steel backing plates made for all of the deck hardware , removed all of the deck hardware , cleaned all of the existing through hull holes by using one size drill bit larger and then filled all of the holes wi...

I have not been very impressed with any of the connectors that I have seen, since I also will have a coax cable for the radio, I have decided to use a through hull compression fitting called scan strut, you can then just make one hole. I will then make the connection inside either with blade connect...

I intend to remove and remake the plywood and take out the foam(i think i can better use the space) however Annemarie is very allergic to saws so i bought her a new friend, I hope they can get along.

Mark, I like it, clean and neat

So what happens if you soak wool with west system resin without hardener? Will the wood become more "structural" what I'm thinking is that some of the wood that is embedded for backing may benefit if I can soak it with resin? Any thoughts on this? I'm going to take piece of scrap, drill a ...

I'm thinking that I will be able to access the nuts with socket extensions and removal of the plywood, the plywood is kinda shot and I will probably remove the foam. I'm not sure why it's only on one side? I would like to cut the holes it sure would make life easier, but I cannot bring myself to do ...

Oh... Will the work never end? Someone once said that a boat is like a hole in the water that you throw money into! I'm starting to feel like the currency here is work, work and more work.... So, I'm knee deep into re bedding the deck hardware, all is well untill I get to the transom. How the he'll ...

Thanks for the tips, had a bitbofbhelp from my 11 year old we, just picked it up and carried it away! Now I hope I can get it back on board and get the standing rigging right!

So we have all seen the "stepping the mast alone" tips etc. I have a new one for you... This week the Annemarie is comming home with me from the marina and will be in my neighbors driveway for a few weeks so i can finish up a few projects (rebedding the deck hardware) and get her in the wa...

Wow I love it looks like is was made for the C22', any details are sure appreciated!

Mark, I like these too, I'm going to get this and replace the halogen with one of these for now, if I ever change the spreaders to the foil shape, these are going on them. Thanks for sharing the source.

Do you have a source that you can share? Thanks!

The anchor light is indeed LED that I ordered and installed. The Steamer / Deck light is and standard bulb on the Steamer light same as the OEM was. The deck light portion is a Halogen bulb. When I ordered it I was expecting a LED bulb in the Steamer portion and a Halogen in the Deck portion. It wa...
