Port awning???

Hope this is the correct forum to ask this. A few months ago I saw an ad for molded plastic type awnings that allow you to keep your ports open when it rains. They are just like an awning over the...

Re: Tach

The tach isn't working. I mis-typed my original question. That is my problem, I cannot find a 'tach' post on the alternator and after thinking, a unique experience, I cannot expect anyone to know...

Re: Lettering Removal

Re: Lettering Removal

Thanks guys for your input. I did try a plastic razor and sanding with 800-1200 sandpaper was my next option. Just wanted to be lazy and avoid it. Thanks again.

Re: Lettering Removal

It's not that the finish is faded. There is a very definite lift in the edges where the lettering was, almost as if there is still a piece of cellophane still there.

We're removing our lettering as I write...and doing it with a steamer and a putty knife. However, there's still an adhesive backing from the lettering and we're not sure what to use to get that off....

Re: rusting stainless

Put a magnet on it. If it sticks or offers resistance then the SS is a 400 (martensitic) series SS. The 400 series SS is more likely to rust. The 300 series (autenitic) is non-magnetic, unless...

Hi All,

Re: Washing sails

Thanks 'M', I was anticipating clear, warm skies and sailing after the rain. An idyllic scenario, I know, but one that I would look forward to alleviating the mold/mildew attack.

Re: Washing sails

Thanks for the reply. We are newbies and it seemed like a reasonable thing to do but wasn't sure.

S2 11C Owners

Are there any S2 11C owners out there that would care to share handling information? We are in the process of buying a 1983 version and would like any do/don't information you may have.
Thanks

Thanks Faster.
Going to drill the hole first to keep the crack from running but never thought about a resin. Was going to try some trichlorethlene but I know it is pretty toxic. Maybe the glass...

Re: Seeking words of wisdom/experience

Thanks all for your inputs. Sorta got a follow up question. Are owners/brokers required to disclose that a boat was a charter boat?
