I’ve never heard or imagined anything so strange. First, the shaft seal is a
good foot or more below the waterline. Pieces of wood generally float—so they
would normally be near the surface of the water. And then have a piece of wood
lodge between the stainless and graphite seal on
A failure of the hose (or it’s clamps) that connects the stuffing box to the
boat would suck too!
I think there are a lot more things on a boat to worry about…

I have all the power I need with my new Yanmar 3YM30AE. I’m not sure where you
are getting your information that you need more than 30 HP.
One big disadvantage of Beta is that there are not nearly as many parts
distributors—this is more important if you cruise to foreign ports.

About 5 years ago I repowered with a Yanmar 3YM30AE which is a 30 HP engine and
weighs much less and is quieter than than the previous 3HMF. I changed to a
3-blade fixed prop (16 x 13) and it is a good match. I would make the same
change all over again if I was faced with the same situation.

I think it would depend on what type of paint you intend to use and the
instructions for the paint. I would think that an oil-based paint would be
best but I’m certainly no paint expert.
In a way, it seems like a shame to paint over teak but I guess if it lightens

A composting toilet has MUCH less odor than any marine head. The only reason
for "not completely composting" is that it would take too long. We change our
solids container every 3 weeks (2 of us) while we're cruising and it looks like
a very dark soil except for the most recent additions.

It is quite possible (and it has happened to mine after changing the water
heater) to have a pocket of air on the glycol side that prevents circulation of
the glycol. To solve this, remove one end of the hose and fill it with the
glycol/water solution and then re-attach the hose. At this
I can speak from experience on my LF38. Your problem is most likely a
misalignment in the upper rudder bearing--the one mounted right below the helm
mounted with 4 bolts. The correction is probably best performed out of the
water. Simply loosen the four bolts & move the bearing until the

The metal grid structure inside the rudder is very important. On our C’s this
structure is made from stainless steel plates that are welded to the stainless
steel rudder shaft. Tartan 37’s are known to have a problem with their carbon
steel internal rudder plates that were welded to the
I replaced the rudder on my LF38 about 12 years ago. I bought the replacement
rudder from South Shore and had it shipped to my boatyard in Maryland.

Yes, allowing the anchor line to simply lay on the rollers is fine—in fact you
don’t even need a chafe guard most of the time.

I can’t help you with the cable length since my boat is different but I can
recommend replacing it with a twisted cable (like a wire stay) instead of a
solid cable. Good luck!

I’ve had my autopilot for probably 20+ years with the Type 1 linear actuator
directly attached to the quadrant with no issues. The quadrant attachment is
reinforced with aluminum plates. We live aboard and cruise up and down the ICW
and to/from the Bahamas. I think your worries are

Josh was correct in that PEX and QEST are different and my experience was with
the QEST piping originally supplied on my boat. It leaked quite frequently
over the early years and, unless you live aboard like we do, you would probably
never notice it. We noticed it through the cycling of the
