Hello all, We have a MT 34 sedan'75 vintage, that has a hinged from the rear total lift up wooden forehatch. Not one that has the wing windows on each side. ...

Carl: My '79 C&L 44 has three hatches (V berth, galley, & fwd head). All three were replaced with Lewmar hatches prior to me buying the boat. It appears the...
There's no independent valve. There is a part inside the mechanical fuel pump which allows it to pump (one-way). The pump is almost directly below the...
Is it possible that you topped off the engine too much? The excess oil would then blow by the valves/rings more than usual. I use 15W-40 and am very pleased...
Just a short note to thank everyone who commented on my question about engine oil. I appreciate the support and help. I hope to be in a position to reciprocate...

All, Fianly went on our first trip (have been woring on the boat for a year now) went to Young Bay on Admirialty Island about 3.5 hours run time from Juneau....
... First thing to ck on the trans before calling the mechanic is the shaft trans alignment. This is easy. If there is misalignment this can cause the rear...

I need to know what the measurement of the first drawer panel below the sink is. This would be the false drawer face on a 1979 34' CHB. More info.: located...
Several weeks ago someone asked me how to align engines to shafts. Recent EMAIL traffic reminded me that I had never responded. The basic concern with proper...
... On our 34 we have a drawer just under the sink. It splits after a bin in front, and we keep knives there. We mounted one of those household drawer...

Some time ago somebody asked how how we rigged our "flopper stopper" to quiet roll at bumpy anchorages or moorings. At the time I did not have a good photo...
Howdy -- I'm new here and can tell already this is a treasure chest of practical know-how. I am a sailor, looking to buy a trawler. I'd like some comments on...
You typically know the fair market value of a boat in good condition before even looking at it by having looked at similar makes and models both physically and...
another reason for hte offer first before the survey is that once surveyed the brojker is obligated to revel major issues which now may prejudice a futher sale...
I am in the process of closing on my first boat (a 1974 34’ CHB Aft Cabin Trawler), and am very pleased to have found this group! I am located in the San...
Well, today I installed a galvanic isolator. That protects us from having our zincs connected to the green wire for the dock, so that our zincs are then...
Frank, As a marina manager I am all too familiar with the situation you describe. Obtaining a live aboard permit in a marina is a privilege, not a right. ...
Well, please ignore this. There are more problems than simple hum. Turns out the DC power cable doesn't actually power the unit. It simply generates hum. I...
And of course, the offer and earnest money first precludes gaggles of non-serious buyers coming in and 'sea-trialing' the boat and then never making an offer. ...
How about some more info. on the isolator? Steve Price 2231 Pacific Ave. B3 Costa Mesa, CA 92627 714 624-3167 ... From: "Charles Bollinger" <chuckb@...>...
In my opinion, there are several reasons a prospective buyer needs to make and have an offer accepted prior to survey. First of all, the process involves a sea...
I am sorry about saying anything about the isolator, actually. The point I was going to make, and absolutely didn't, was that our shore power ground is now...
