David, Three counters on my boat are Formica. Its a good product. I had my
first experience with it over last winter. I applied it to the marine plywood
that I used to make the settee fronts in the main salon. You saw them on
Sunday. Not very difficult at all. It is a bit unforgiving as,
Applying laminate surface to your countertops should be fairly
straightforward. Here's a link to a galley shelf I installed on Touche':

I also added laminate to the aft bulkhead and outboard bulkhead in Touche'
both to lighten it u
For my boat (1979 Landfall 38), the Wilsonart color “Putty” (1503) was a
perfect match. Your mileage may vary…

I'll ditto the comments about the alloy corrosion in Whale Gushers. I've
replaced the one on Touche' twice in 19 years. Both times the sealing
surface for the flapper style check valves were corroded.
The last time I disassembled the new pump prior to installation, coated all
the alloy surfaces
Easier just to replace the unit? Are they now using composites or still using
corrosive alloys?? Seems silly not to use composites in this day an age
particularly around salt water.

Finding a plastic pump with matching bolt pattern is the challenge. I
think there are a few. There's also the issue of freeze protecting a
plastic pump which may or may not be an issue.
Yes, they are expensive but a Whale Gusher may just save you and your boat.
BTW, I routinely flush my Gusher

Speaking of Whale pumps, a lot of C&Cs came equipped with a Whale foot pump
attached to the drain hose for the icebox. The pump drains the icebox water to
the galley sink instead of the bilge. On my 34, we disconnected the pump and
just ran the hose to the bilge. A prior owner did the same th
David,
For that little galley shelf, the laminate was glued on then trimmed with a
router with laminate blade.
Since you are leaving the fiddles, yes, a template is a must. I made
templates of the aft and outboard bulkheads in Touche's head. It took a
while to get the templates exactly right.
IMHO...there is enough stuff that can get into the bilge without adding one
more, potentially gross, variable which can cause hard to get rid of odors.
I configured my foot pump so it can pump fresh water, salt water, or icebox
water into the sink.

Along these lines, has anyone on the list done something similar (glued
laminate?) to refinish a cabin sole? If so, what comments about the job do you
have.

Take it out and take it apart. Mine, like Dave’s was corroded so badly that
replacement was the only answer.

Not sure what you're saying. PlasTeak is 1/16 inch thick. It's like
Linoleum. Cut to fit and glue it down.
If you want to get fancy with borders and stuff, it's a bit more work but
no different than installing Linoleum floor.

Not sure regarding the 33-2 but I was able to just fit a PYI shaft seal in my

stuffing box. Once installed and assembled with the right pressure on the
bellows I have an inch or so between the PYI and the end of the
Yes, I did it 3 years ago. The first project was to replace the leaking

everything: seal, new split coupling by Buck Algonquin, new shaft and a PYI

It is pretty tight but it fits, I think the new coupling is a bi
