I am heading to the lake this weekend to open up the boat for the season and am loaded with sandpaper power washer and teak cleaner. I will take it step by step and try all the options. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all of your input!

Ken: We are late in responding but we are in the "Fresh-other lakes" category, Lake Stockton, MO.

Ron: I had taken the teak down to the bare wood and even tried a 50/50 bleach mix to try to take it out. I have not tried the restorer cleaner. This stain is not like a mold but almost a bleached effect. I'll try the restorer/cleaner. Thanks for your help!

I am in the process of refinishing the exterior teak of our boat with cetol. There are stains on some of the peices that are yellow/white in color.  I've attempted to sand these stained areas to no avail in effort to pull the natural color back out.  Does anyone have any tips to fix/remove the stains?  I don't want to replace the entire piece of teak.

The Dorade vents for the main cabin.

Our 90 has a walk through transom. Any thoughts?

Has anyone installed a generator on 1990?  I've been told there is no space to install one.

What do you prefer in upgrading/replacing the cowl vents.  We have '90.  Are the standard, traditional cowl vents what people are using or are there other alternatives?

We have a '90 Catalina.  Would like to put different stern rails that have perch seats on them.  Has anyone done this before?  Is it difficult to do yourself?  Where does one get the rails w/the perch?
