One note of caution for my fellow Canadians.
I ordered a few things from Defender that were on sale last year, totalling
less than $200 U.S., and they insisted on sending it via U.P.S. I paid the
shipping in advance, along with the rest of the order.
When the U.P.S. driver showed up on my
I don't believe that there is short of ripping it apart, and even then, cracks
can be notoriously difficult to detect. Dyes and other techniques can sometimes
detect faults, but I have not been able to find any reference to a test which
is good enough to say for certain that no fault exists. A
That may be the first time anyone on this list has recommended 3M 5200 for
anything other than keel attachment! :)

One result of many years of barnicle build up, followed by scraping and

On two separate occasions in the last week, people here in Florida have told me
that they added powdered hot pepper to their bottom paint. Seems they are

For what it is worth, I took a look at the Git Rot product at West Marine last
week and did not make a purchase. The directions say specifically that it is
intended only to be used in a contained space, such as in a rotted balsa core,
and is not suitable to be painted on. I forget the rest but

general you want the largest diameter prop that will still give

Does anyone know what the original or best hose is for this application? All
the C owner's manual says about it is "neoprene hose", which leaves a pretty
wide latitude. I have an idea that several types might work pretty good, but
there is no hose more critical to the survival of the vessel and

The correct approach in my opinion. I always figured that the whole point to
having straight pipe threads in the first place was so that you could make
something like a compression flange fitting in one part and then cut a regular
tapered thread on the end.
Makes a lot of sense for tanks, and

I am interested in the autohelm, and maybe the Furuno too. A few more
details like which model of autohelm controller and associated equipment would
be helpful. Please contact me off list if you would rather. I am in the
process of fixing up a much neglected and bare bones 36.
West Marine has an automatic inflatable harness on sale today only for 150
bucks. (U.S.)
I have no experience with the product, but I just paid more than twice that
much for a Spinlock product that is not even coast guard certified.

Does anyone know for certain what species the wood veneer would be on the
cabinets and bulkheads in my 1980 C? We talk about teak wood work all the
time on this list, and certainly the fids, hand rails, and exterior trim wood
is teak, but the plywood veneer looks an awful lot like mahogany to

You could also try arranging some white paper towels on a cookie sheet or bits
of plywood under the engine. Pumps are a particular candidate for suspicion in
my opinion, especially when temperature changes appear to be a factor.

The headliner panels for my new old boat are completely missing, which is a
bummer because the old ones would have been useful for templates. It is what it
is, but I don't even know what the originals looked like, or what materials
were used. I would appreciate any advice from owners of similar
