I bought a cheapish Klein moisture meter from Amazon this morning and it
was delivered this evening for $39. What I am hearing is that 50% think

That's really good information Charlies, and after reading Josh's post, it
reminded me to just go tap on the deck where necessary.
I was, however, thinking about our cockpit area which for some magical reason
had teak installed. I'm not really looking forward to stripping it all off and
seal
Agreed, the propane lockers are not structural. Our linear drive is mounted to
a heavy shelf glassed to the hull. If someone needs photos, I can take some,
but it will be a couple weeks before I will be at the boat again.

Hi Tom
That was plan A for my linear drive, but the floor of the propane locker
on mine is super thin - a couple of layers of glass, no rigidity. Give
it a tap, I would bet yours is the same. Not designed for serious loads.

I had a closer look today using a mirror on a stick through the port in the
back of the quarter berth and it appears that it was designed to be a locker
but a hole was never cut in the top of the port side corner seat. The

Hello all,
In the propane locker in our 1994 C&C 37/40+, there is a wood panel that has
been painted white over varnish and is screwed down. I forget the reason, but
a couple years ago I needed to remove it, and I wanted to make sure it was well
sealed so propane fumes would not leak below.
I'd love to just be able to tell if I have some wet core in my deck. I'm
pretty sure I can find some areas I can quantify are dry, and then I'd like to
be able to scan areas I don't know and be able to see the areas that need
attention.
Not sure if the pinless meters available at the home st

My 1974 C&C 35 Mk2 still has the original three burner pressure alcohol
stove with oven, which is very tired and needs replacement. I believe a
previous owner of Callisto had the boat modified for Propane, since
propane stoves are not listed as an option on 1974 C&C 35 price list - I

My 35-2 has a locker on each side, the starboard being just for a
second tank with no hookup. I believe they are factory original, but have
been modified to accept a taller tank by extending the bottoms. The other
35-2 in the club has a modified locker on one side, where the owner just

Hi Kevin
I picked this one up from Canadian Tire for under $100 CAD. It has settings
for several different materials. I think I use the masonary setting. It works
reasonably well

An additional comment on the replacement windows. On my 42, the original plexi
was nearly a perfect fit into the insets, and I noticed gel coat chipping
around the edges of the insets. My theory about that chipping is the plexi
expanded more than the boat on hot days. In addition, the experts
If you’re trying to figure out where you have wet core, this is not something
you want to go cheap on. You need one that works well. After buying a cheap
one that did not work for this purpose, I ended up buying a Skipper Plus
(little under $500). Just last year alone it was worth every penny
FYI, my 34 had only one seat locker in the rear of the cockpit -- starboard
side as I recall.

Dennis,
I had a 1981 36 KCB and fabricated a second propane locker. The seat will be
screw fastened from below. I used appropriate diameter and length cardboard
sono tube as a template. I used glass and west system epoxy. I cut the hole
with a jig saw if memory serves and used the cut out as a

Mine is the same as Wisper as well. Check your hull to see if there is a
drain hole to match the other side and if so, voila, you probably have a
locker there too.

Hi all,
I am looking for a reasonably priced and quality moisture meter so I can
poke around my boat and others. Does anyone have a recommendation? I do not
need anything too professional, but just accurate enough for DIY level.
Thank you!

Thanks eve
My guess is that the second locker locker was an option. You paid for the
labor and parts to install the lid and its drain. You might be able to
fabricate a locker but results may vary...
