Dick, The CPT autopilot is made by Scanmar as their electric autopilot. They also make the Monitor wind vanes. I already have the Sailomat wind wane which ...

Ray Interesting observations on possible sources of leaks. I have one more you may want to consider. The stuffing box on the rudder post! Just as in your prop...
Hi, The venting of the LPG locker is a problem. My boat had a copper tube epoxyed into the hull (which did at least slope down and not hold water). When I...
HI Chip and Mr. Cranshaw, Thanks for the input. I did check the packing gland for the rudder post while under way and did not have any water there...but you...
Hi, Name is Bradshaw not Cranshaw, sorry about overstating the down hill bit but I had a difficult time getting the venting right after installing my new LPG ...
I had a similar problem on the the Third Wave. In heavy weather and only when the port rail was awash, did I take on water. The cause was a break in the 2" ...
I concur with Ray's observation. I forgot that I found the same problem a while ago on the port deck scupper hose. Totally cracked and salt encrusted. I...
I am interested in providing cooling to my boat during the dog days of the summer in the northern Chesapeake. I was wondering if Pearson 40 owners have advice...
Zeb: I can't answer your question, but was curious as to where you are on the northern Chesapeake. I have Tempest, hull #4 and keep her on the Bush River which...
Zeb, Hap Crowe (Spice) has air conditioned his boat. I think the unit is located where the hot water heater is. Don't know what he did with the water...
Zeb, I put in a 16000 BTU Marine Air Unit recently...put the compressor in the V berth (within the V itself)...with the air return facing aft...in a mahogany...
Hi Zeb, I do not know the best place to mount an AC on the Pearson 40, but I can tell you a couple places where a 12,000 btu unit will fit. I originally had a...
I have a question regarding the fresh water system on Fortuna. I am loosing pressure on the cold water side within 15 to 20 minutes of the pump running. The...
The pressure comes from the same source, the accumulator on the cold water side. However having said that, if you have a flapper valve on the pipe going to the...
I was contacted by a fellow sailor recently from Florida (Dave Stammerjohn) who has a Cal 36 and had his Paragon Transmission die. This was on a Westerbeke 40...
Thanks Ray. The idea that the pump might be loosing pressure internally is interesting. That sounds like my first course of action. Perhaps there is a...
If anyone is interested, I am in the process of stretching my P-40 to 41 feet by adding a bowsprit: http://www.pearson40.org/bowsprit_passion.htm Chip...
Ray - I also have a Paragon transmission that has been sitting on the floor in my garage ever since I undertook that little "three-hour" job of replacing it...
Yes, Derek made my stainless handrails. He used the original teak handrails as pseudo-patterns so that the new studs welded to the bottom of the stainless...
Pearson 40 Owners I signed the "Pearson 40 Owners Association" up as a coopertave organization. This means that you can renew or join Boat US for half off...
