Playboy does require you to buy their bottom paint. Generally, it was $50-75 a

Bruce and Nancy,
Rather than give a thumbs up or down on the merits of sailing a C&C 110 across
the Pacific I’ll point you to a voyage that good friends of ours did a year
ago on a “similar” sized and style boat, a 40’ J/120.

I've been watching this forum for a while - I have an issue that I need
help with.
I would like to take my C&C 110 (1999- hull number 8) to Australia via

Hello.
The Rule 500 automatic bilge pump that came with my 1986 29-2 died. Bought
what I thought was an identical replacement (Rule-Mate Automatic Model
RUL-RM500A). The new pump is slightly larger than the original and won't fit
on the floor of the bilge in the deepest forward part of the b
You mean “water locked” or “hydro Locked” (it does not have to be water)?
You won’t be able to turn it. Neither with the starter (I suggest you don’t
try), nor with a wrench. It won’t budge (or nearly won’t).
Open the cylinders (either remove the glow plugs (usually easier and if you
have them)

Auto pumps are wired to the battery, so they are always live.
It will not save a boat with a catastrophic failure, but it will keep the
bilge dry from the stuffing box and water coming down the mast, especially
if you have a solar panel.
