Thanks to you quick replies. It seems that some of you may have misunderstood. the cloor paint is (something) blue. I am not looking at a match for canvas or vinyl's. The hull is white and the striping painted on it at the waterline "boot top" is a blue color. It is this to which I can't seem to find the match. Thanks anyway. Peter B.

I am looking at touching up the marks on the blue water line boot top and the stripes. I can not find a color match. Can anyone let me know what it is as all C34's seem to be the same.
Much appreciated from a Downunder Sailor. Peter B.

Ron,  :cry4`thanks for your interest.I have a question. What do you call the "cutles bearing"?
For your info I replaced the what us Aussies call the Skeg bearing, out side near the prop. I also had the stren gland replaced, inside behind the motor. The one with the bellows that needs burping. Also this new antifoul called propspeed is applied by clean- ing off everything and etch priming followed with a coat of propspeed. The finished job is clear. The color give by the primer makes it look like gold. The feel is tacky, although it's dry. The KIWI's use it a lot. Thanks Peter B.

:cry4`Thanks to those who replied to my dilemma of a noisy, squeal in my propshaft. Iam a new user and had a lot of trouble working out the how to find the messages. The upshot is I am not sure if I got them all. (found 2). All the suggestions where checked prior to launching boat and bellows burped. To reiterate. Squeal comes in at about 1500 rpm and goes at 2000rpm. I can eliminate the squeal by driving hard through the range, but as soon as I de-accelerate the noise comes in. It's very frustrating. Further suggestion appreciated. Peter B.

Hi< I am a new subscriber from down under. I Purchased my 1988 "Threes Company" 799 about 2 years ago, slipped it for second time last month. Used usual anit foul, new anode and my painter used a new product from New Zealand called "PROPSPEED" on the drive shaft and three blade prop. It's a clear finish, coloured only by the under coat. Boat back in the water and coincidently scretching noise at 13 to 1600 RPM. Drive through it and it's gone. Motor is Universal M25 with usual vibration at low RPM. I could not let it go so I slipped it again because the noise seemed to eminate from the skeg bearing. This was replaced by my mechanic along with stern gland. Guess what the noise a little louder but now at about 16 to 2000 rpm. Mechanic baffled and I don't want to go on expidition without knowing what I am dealing with.
Has anyone out there got any clews.
