We recently heard about a 34 CHB that had its galley in the v-berth area instead of the main salon. We are interested in doing the same thing on a 35 CHB...
Thinking about putting a hydraulic windlass on my refit boat, but need some help. 1) Is the normal high pressure supply powered by electric or directly from...
When I moved onto my boat i had to windows wrapped all the way around with a vinyl (or soft PVC) u-channel. Someone who was trying to help- removed one of...
I'm afraid that you'll have to explain "wrapped all the way around" and what the "PVC U-channel" is. It would also be helpful if we knew which window and where...
Of course you are right, my apologies!!! It's my port window , aft. and it was positioned with the 'U' facing out so that any water it caught, it would allow...
Hmmm...... I don't have anything that fits that description on my boat, a 1980 40 Puget Trawler with plastic framed windows on the aft cabin. Mine are white...
I recently put ths product on my non-CHB boat. I will look up the brand/contact later. It is really a small gutter & it comes in 50 or 100' rolls & has an ...
I'm sorry. I still have no idea what this "u-channel" is. There's nothing like it on our boat (teak-framed windows). Andy Clark 1978 34 CHB ANTARES Homeport:...
Oh, I guess what threw me off on answering this question was that Robbn said the u-channel was "all the way around" the windows. Could not imagine what that...
Go to marinegutters.com and you will see the product. Marc Arbon ... From: CHB@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CHB@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Andy Clark Sent:...
Yup this is the stuff! On our 34' CHB this product would have been put onto the outside wall around the window and been basically resting on top & sides of the...
Morning All, Is there oil in a reservoir that I need to change on my injector pump? Seems I have heard that there is a needed oil change on a F.L. 120...
snip "It is a true U shape." ensnip The description had me totally fooled. What I see on the website is J molding which is available in at least plastic,...
I have 135 Lehmans on our 51 CHB and we definitely have oil crankcases on the injector pumps that calls for changing the oil every 50 hours. I learned this the...
Interesting. Many of us, if not most, thought that the 135 injector pumps were lubricated by the crankcase oil. Learn something new every day, eh? Andy Clark ...
On the nsame subject... I have 120s in my 39'er. I ve changed the fluid and gave them a slight tightenning. as we all know, everything needs a good turn a...
Tightening everything once a year is guaranteed to ultimately strip threads, especially in aluminum. Don't do it unless there's a problem (like a leak). Andy...
Brenda and Todd, As you have read, the Lehman does require oil changes every 50 hours and this should be done religiously. The injection pump is a very HIGH...
Norbert, If we are talking about a slight drip from the drain or level plugs, 'perhaps all you need to do is renew the aluminum or copper crimp washers. That's...
Pat's Marine Engines or Cascade Marine in Seattle will have the compressible copper washers that should be used on these injector pump plugs. David V. Marshall...
Hi Bob, I went to a local auto glass shop and looked in their wholesale catalogues until I found what I wanted. They brought the products in for me in 8 or 10...
And if you just can't get a new washer and want to re-soften a copper washer that has become work hardened from use, but is not too grooved up, you can heat...
Sorry Ken, but that process will make the washer hard. It needs to be heated as you said, but then allowed to cool naturally. Then it will be soft. I do this...
Cooling copper with water does not make it hard. Cooling steel by quenching increases hardness. These quotes are from the first page of a Google search on...
Hi Mike, I had a look at your Flikr site and am very impressed with the work you've done. I had originally planned to replace this one window (port side, main...
Bob, The Diamond Seaglaze product looks terrific and they have a good reputation. The solution you seek (aluminum window and teak frames) sounds the best to...
