When I pulled her out this fall, I noticed that I was the sacrificial anode for a neighboring boat.... (yes, I'm installing a galvanic isolator) The hull plate took the brunt of the damage and needs to be replaced....

Anyone do this?  Procedure, thoughts?  Thanks....

Hey all..  is there a step by step guide on doing this replacement?

Hey all.  I'm having a challenge draining a DAHL 100 Fuel/Water Separator.

Is there some magic beyond turning the spigot?

Hello All.

I want to add a Smart Battery Monitoring System to my 86' Mk1.

What makes and models have you used?  How was the install?

Thank You.

Hello Team,

Fire Extinguisher Sales & Services does re-certifying Tanks

Has anyone cut an inspection door to this channel to be bale to get to the wires, etc.?

Good Morning All....

I just got a 1986 C34 #63...  PO did some hack DYI things, but that's for another time...  Going through and emptying the boat, I opened the slider above the Nav Table and found a mushroom growing out of the wood.  First, no, sadly no pics, I was too wierded out by it, secondly, no I did not sautee' it up.  :-)

I'm in the process of breaking down the interior so that I can get all the bad wood out and get behind it to see where the water is coming from.   It's been suggested that it's the Stanchion leaking.

1.  Suggestions on removing interior?
2.  Suggestions on how to Re-bed the stanchion? 

I'd like to hear from the voice of experience on this, as I'd rather not have to do it again. :-)

Thank You in advance.
