Frers F&C 44

[echoffmanjr]

Symptoms were disconfigured hull, looked like the fibrglass was bulging. Water meter showed varying degrees of intrusion. Years of rusting delaminated the fibreglass. reconstruction was largely done from the outside with some work done inside. Horrible is correct but a second home costs alot more, and this one moves.

Hydraulic Transmission?

I have F&C 44 #12, and am having issues with the hydraulic transmission, apparently the directional control valve is bad and needs replacement or repair does anyone have any insight into this issue.

I know that moving the engine
And going to a direct drive system is the best solution, but that is not an option at this time.

Thanks,
Peter

To people interested in the F & C 44. I have restored 2 of these boats for major hull damage. The hull was blistering and bulging from delaminating fiberglass Most of this damage was caused by the toe rail leaking into the hull causing mst of the damage. My biggest concern was the chain plates that were comepletely rotted due to the water damage that i was amazed they didn't rip out of the side of the boat. I had to make new chain plates to install, i also had to peel the hull, and reglass the whole hull and fair it then I gave it a awlgrip paint job. This is just an abridge essay on all the work that went into this job. Feel free to contact me with any detailed questions concerning this boat since I spent 2 years of my life working on these. Jim

Does anyone know accurately how many were built in total?

I would be interested to know where the rail leaks were worst - and how you repaired /replaced them.
