I often thought that if I were doing new cushions, I would split the seats and the backs so that it would be easier to get into the lockers below/behind. ...
My lee cloth is on a sail track under the cushion. It has a "rope luff" and simply slides in or out, if I want to stow it. Normally, I just fold it under the...
While we were at PSC open house, one of the unexpected surprises, was a tour of the cabinet and upolstery shop. While I do not own a Dana, YET, I do recognise...
I just did a complete replacement of all running rigging on Morning Star. As a starting point, I followed exactly the specs in the PSC manual for the Dana and...
Thanks Laurence and Bob for your advice on the strong track. Bob, do you recall how much of the winch pad you had to grind down. Looking at mine more...
... I needed only a small incursion into the weld/cylinder, but apparently there is variation in the exact positioning of the winch pads from boat to boat. If...
Looks like the infamous south tower, or even south of it! Even the chart shows this to be an area of tide rips and shallow water. I can't believe they would...
Christian, You are right. I have surfed here, at Fort Point, and for that it is great... but what was this guy thinking? If you look at the most recent pics...
We're doing maintenance on our Dana, and among the other chores, I'm servicing the packing gland. Access is not easy. The only approach I see is to stand in...
Other than yoga lessons my only 2 cents is to straighten out a barbed fish hook with a pair of pliers and use that to spear the old packing. The barb will grab...
In the Navy we used a packing extractor. It is a short piece of stiff cable about 1/4" diameter and mounted on one end was a small corkscrew like fitting and...
... That requires more money, and much more work, since the shaft would have to be pulled. We're going to use Gortex stuffing, which is supposed to be pretty...
I'm in the process of installing the new Garmin 3006 system with GPS and radar on my Dana. The radar dome is bigger than I realized and the installer is...
Michael, I have a 18 inch Raymarine radome on Camelot (currently on the Dana Owners front page) on a Kato mount. I have never had any conflict with the radome...
The fact that I count on being able to trailer my boat at some point is the reason I chose the pole mount. I also like having the lift for the dinghy motor,...
If you have a cutter rig I would consider using the staysail as a storm sail perhaps with a reef or two if needed. I was lead to believe that having a sail...
Has anyone mounted their raydome on the backstay with the gimballed platform mount and comprssion post you see advertised in the West Marine catalog. It looks...
Check out the pictures of Doctor'e Order. This is the backstay mount to which you refer. This boat has everything including a Monitor windvane and SSB radio. ...

Have any of you experienced these symptoms. Engine runs fine at all RPMs Even for hours at a time. I reduce speed to enter my berth and the drive shaft...
If you are lucky it is the cutlass bearing. If you are not then the transmission output bearing is the cause. I would have the output shaft from the...
I had a similar noise at low speed operation when my clamp-on-the- shaft zinc came loose. It would give me a low rumble at low engine RPM while in gear, but...
