Gang, Yesterday, we were sailing and the steering seemed abit tight. The brake was completely off. Also, the wheel squeaked. Where should I start to look? ...
Bruce-- Most likely--and only logical cause of low pressure in head-- is the sink aerator. Unscrew it & clean out. Be careful when turning water on without...
Bruce, I had the same problem on Saturday. Did you try removing the aerator/strainer? Mine was so clogged that not even a drop of water came through. Bob ...
Check the areator screen on the head faucet. They have been known to clog. After removing it, try turning on the water to see if you have any pressure. ...
You might also inspect in the lazarette to see if anything has shifted and is rubbing against the cables, quadrant or anything else connected to the rudder. ...
Joe; Since, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease", I'd lift off the compass and do some lubing of the shaft and chain. Instructions for the recommended annual...

... Warren; Right on! But the coffee pot is pretty empty now since it's already 11:40 PST (and yes, I know that I should already be down at the boat) And I'll...
I replaced my impeller over the weekend. It was a good thing I did. I noticed that the water flow seemed diminished. When I took out the old impeller, 11 and...
My 387 (2008 #145) has the waste pump-out fitting amidships on the STARBOARD side, and the fuel fill fitting on the PORT quarter. Are all 387s built this way?...
Thanks to everyone who commented on the water pressure problem. The consensus is the aerator. I will change it out on Saturday and report back. Any thoughts...
Has anyone changed out any of the cabin lights in favor of LED lights? For starters I was thinking of changing out the fixtures on the forward bulkhead and...
Jeff; Personally, I'd prefer to see the deck fittings as far apart as possible. Opposite sides of the boat sounds good to me. Our CM38 has water and the fuel...
I want to replace my original single lever pull out faucet so I can have one that I can attach a Purr filter to for drinking water I want another single lever...
Bruce, No need to change the fixtures, I have been slowly changing over to LED lamps by just replacing the bulbs. In most marine centers you will find ...
Regardless of what filter you use, water that comes out of a tank has some taste to it. I use a charcoal filter when filling my tanks and bring gallons of...
Warren, Which Mainsheet is the article about the noisy head in? I looked in the most recent one and can't find it. Can we get the article on line? Thanks, ...

Try putting 1-2 tablespoons of chlorine bleach in each water tank every time you fill them. That will keep the water tanks clean. If the tanks are already...
My boat water tastes pretty much the same as what comes out of the dock hose. Here is a link to Peggie Hall's official cleaning process. I did this a few...
Ed, The bleach routine really works. We do it every spring and our tanks stay very clean and fresh. That being said, I've picked up some pretty awful water...
Chris, Could send a list of the parts that you ordered as I am going to do this project shortly. Thanks, Bob Xanadu C380 #243 Pelham, NY rg_inflsys@......
Bruce, I don't have your original email, so forgive me if I'm off-base. Also, we have a 380, so I'm not certain about this information for a 387. We just...
