I would like to purchase a CNG Tank.  If you have converted to propane and did not get rid of your leftover CNG tank let me know.  Tank-you.

I would like to replace the small "O" rings on the opening handles for the old standard Lewmar ports.  I have several that are leaking from this area.

Would anyone know how to remove these handles?  The Lewmar site does not address how, but does address that the "O" ring in on the outside between the handle "button" and the acrylic.  I have tried to pry the "button" off without success.  Any help would be appreciated.

At relaunch last week of my 1987 C-34, three of the six thru-hulls leaked at their hull/thru hull connection.  The leaking was a steady, but small stream of water, that unfortunately did not reveal itself until after I was out of the slings and in my slip.  I took the boat back to the marina.  One additional thru hull showed signs of leaking after the boat was hauled out--on the bottom of the hull the mushroom thru hull had a visible circle outline which was never there before.

I will have all six thru hulls rebed.  My boat was stored, on the hard, all winter.  I thought I would mention this to alert owners of other older C-34's to think about this task as a maintenance item.  The bedding apparently failed after nearly twenty years-not surprising.  The good news is that I was present to discover this!
