Compact water filtration recommendation?

I'm installing a new fresh-water system on my CS27, and would really like to put a in-line filter after the pump to improve the drinking water taste from the galley and head sinks. Primary use of...

Re: Elbow fittings below the waterline

I have a 90 degree fitting at the seacock end. I'm looking for a 90 or 45 degree hose barb to hose barb fitting for the cockpit drain side. Some of the nicer bronze cockpit drains have 45 degree...

Re: Elbow fittings below the waterline

I have a 90-degree tailpiece on the seacock end, so that part is ok. I'd only need one fitting per line at the cockpit drain end right under the drain itself.

The part I'm not sure about is what...

Re: Stressful launch and it isn`t over yet!

Wow, and I was upset to find the engine seacock left open, the main battery switch left on, and black work boot scuffs all over the deck. I need to remind myself how much could have gone wrong and...

Elbow fittings below the waterline

I went to great pains to ensure that my boat's cockpit drains could absorb a direct nuclear strike and not result in sinking the boat... I used 1/2" G10 backing plates bedded nicely, through-bolted...

Re: Where to get Butyl tape?

Yet another vote for Mainesail's butyl. I used it (extensively) in refitting my CS27, and it was excellent to work with. You will NEVER go back to caulking tubes again. Buy MORE than you need so...

Certainly is a sailboat, and it certainly has wire rope standing rigging. Maybe one of the shrouds is close to a 1/4 wave multiple? The catch is, I have a deck-stepped mast and I really, really,...

That's what I was sort of gravitating towards. I figured I could pick one up cheap and mount it along the bulkhead in the wet locker which is right next to the cabinet I've mounted the stereo in.

Now that's a creative idea! I think to maximize reception the goal is be at 1/2 or 1/4 wavelength as measured from the center of the FM band. That works out to about 31-33 inches from what I've...

AM FM Hidden In-Cabin Antenna

I just installed a sweet little Fusion MS-RA200 stereo head in my CS27's main cabin. I installed one of those cheap pieces of wire that has an antenna bayonet on one end. I would consider the...

Where to Find Line Drawings (Art)?

I'm looking to decorate my home office, and I thought it would be neat to have a reprint of some salty yacht's line drawings around an 11x17 size or so. Something that shows good draftsmanship (some...

Yes, Kracor is still making tanks, but not the model that is in my boat. I was trying to avoid having to build a new support system which a different tank size/shape would require. I've decided to...

Hard to say conclusively without really seeing the joint you are dealing with. It may be sufficient to VERY carefully use a utility knife to slice out a "V" shape in the joint, then scrape out the...

It depends heavily on what the joint was initially sealed with. If it's butyl, then a little scraping and some Mineral Spirits will solve world hunger. If it's 3m 5200 you're in for a world of...
