I will be living aboard my boat for the first time this winter and want to build a door. Does anyone have the complete specs for the current companion way...
Mike, I would alternatively recommend an Elk-960 delay board, since it handles over twice the current (7 Amps versus 3 Amps), and is a bit more flexible in...
I'm going to be spending the winter on my boat in Boston. Can anyone recommend an economical heater? I'm going to be spending the winter on my boat in...
I don't know if the 380's got better than the CM38cc's, but I wouldn't trust any measurements other than your own. On my CM38cc, the companionway opening in...
Martin, A good start for your 'specific' measurements is using your companionway boards as a pattern. Lay them down (stacked as if in place) on a large piece...
Martin-- A few years ago, several of us bought & installed cockpit doors made by Zarcor, who requested we send a pattern of the weather boards, as Dale...
Wondering if catalina is having a get together during the boat show. My wife and I are going to be there on thursday friday and saturday. Tom Stewart Wind...
Mike: Therefore, can I leave the connection to the engine panel as is (i.e. connected whenever the key is turned on) and then also wire the blower to a panel...
Gentleman (and Ladies!): I hate to even think about pulling the boat out for the winter but I guess reality will eventually be undeniable. So.. I have seen the...
Tom My wife and I will be at the show on Thursday. If you would like to get together if only to meet another 380 owner - put a face and voice with the message...
Tom, I am visiting my old home in NY State right now and just visited a local yacht club over the weekend. All the boat there get shrink wrapped as a winter...
Tom, If the point of adding a delay circuit to the blower motor circuit, is to have the blower continue to operate for X number of minutes ( 1 - 60 ) after...
The only issue I have seen with shrink wrap is the abrasion of the gel coat from fluttering in the wind. I think Tom is talking about self-sticking sheet that...
The primary purpose of any boat cover in the north is to keep the deck and boat components dry. If they are wet the water freezes and expands. Some of that...
Craig: Good discussion. Who did you purchase your cover from? I would love to keep the deck dry but haven't succeeded in doing this using tarps. There is ...
That sounds like a good solution but was thinking that you wouldn’t always want the blower to continue every time the ignition switch was turned off. For...
You would also not want it to run if you're having battery or charging system issues and wanting to conserve power as much as possible. I still like my...
Tom, You can wire as below and then you could leave the three way toggle switch so that the blower is on when ever the ignition is on and for a time after the...
Tom, The place I got my cover is below. There are different rigs on our boats so you need to discuss that with them. They are pretty good at working with you...
I installed our VHF ram mic connector in the engine pod, so am confident there's room for the Elk-960 boards as well, since their small.  How you choose to...
Here is another option. We bought a used cover and it paid for itself in 2 years. The full sized cover fits down over the hull below the water line, so it...
Still another option is the "tent" type cover; this is supported mostly by the boom [mast up or 2 X 4 equivalent], and terminates at the bottom of the...
We are looking at re-upholstering the interior cushions of our 380. We have the standard blue fabric cushions which, after 13 years, are showing their age. I...
Tom-- JSI--or rather the "New JSI" -- knows & should give you that info. We'd also be interested is how you go with this--our std cushions are looking a bit...
It's all of those red wine stains that makes Angel's Wings look "loved!" Earl Poe earljpoe@... ________________________________ From: Warren Elliott...
In the past I have used old billboard covers. They come in 16 x 40 and are made of reinforced vinyl. If you poke them with a knife it wont run. I would use the...
Warren, Which is a moot point if you wire the delay board without any switches. The blower simply runs for what-ever delay you set it for. The issue...
