Calypso's SS strut has been in salt water for many year without corrosion
issues. We have been coating it with zinc paint for the last ten years to
reduce exposure and barnacle growth.
The existing SS strut is this 43's 2nd. I don't know what happened to the
first. Both have been through b
Most dehumidifiers don't work really well when it's cold out, some shut
down entirely.
We use one Caframo Stor Dry (aka the West Marine flying saucer thingie) and
three Dri Z Air units. If you fill them right up with the chemical, they
will last a month, and I like to check more often than that so
You guys are scaring me.
What is your point?

The shaft running through the strut is stainless. It shouldn't be an issue
and it would certainly be stronger.

Prop shafts are stainless, they spend a lot of time under water, including
under seawater…I am not sure what problem Joel was anticipating

Hi Tom,
I know the Seattle area is very different so what I do may not work for you.
Here in Jersey, we haul the boat most years. I winterize the engine and all
tanks, etc. I keep two ceramic heaters ready for when I work inside, but don't
leave anything plugged in while away. I worry about mil
Stainless does just fine under water.
The problem with stainless and water is in a situation where the
water is not aerated. There is enough oxygen present in seawater
for stainless.

I'd clean it up well before making a decision. A bronze brush on a right
angle air powered die grinder will take that strut down to bare metal
really fast.
Do you want stainless under water?

It also might be worth calling Garhauer. They do custom machining work,
and their prices are usually very reasonable and the quality high.

Hi Danny,
I expect Rick's strut failure so close to the heat affected zone was
due to not annealing the strut after repair. The original break was
likely from stress of cold working the bronze... vibration, line wrap
or impact perhaps. The repair site gets annealed as part of the
repair proce
FWIW, I use a little "hose rig" that makes winterizing the engine very easy and
is a great thing to keep on any boat. It consists of a short 4 ft stiff hose
(match your engine's intake gose) with shutoff ball valve and a barb fitting.
Replace the ell at your engine intake thruhull with a threade

I'd clean it up well before making a decision. A bronze brush on a
right angle air powered die grinder will take that strut down to bare
metal really fast. Or an electric drill, but it will take a bit
longer.Based on that picture I wouldn't make any decisions. Surface

here is another question;
If i'm going to spend $530 to have a new one made, are there any improvement I
can make on the original design? I guess the original lasted 40 years (I'm
assumimg it is original) so, it is probably safe to say the design is
sufficient. LOL

yea that is my fear in a repair as well. That maybe the bronze has been
compromised... and it may break again.
I notice in one of my photos a discoloration in that area of the strut.,

I'm thinking it was just old and the composition changed...
