I bought rubber wedges from Rig-Rite last spring. A bit pricey and they only have two thicknesses. I ended up using a mix of them and the old wood ones. This...
... It might have been cheaper, but I have to ask whether it was wise. The mast step, more properly the mast step box, is a solid mass of plywood that can rot...

Jay: I'd be interested in the photos as well, as the mast step is on my long-range list of projects. Our bulkhead appears solid, but the sole shows some...
Jim and The Captain: I admire your decision to take a Peace Corps assignment. What a great way to give back, grow, and have an adventure, all while making the...
I replaced the lift pump 3 years ago. The new ones have a simple screen on them that is reuseable( the old ones were paper). I had checked it, and it was...

Gerard This may be true. But the Westerbeke filter which is downstream had fuel. When the lift pump dies, the filter housing is dry.(had one fail before). When...
That works. Also, a piece of spring steel is nice for cleaning and for fishing wires in hard to reach places. It coils up nicely. Only down side is you have...
