Battle of the Bilge... I recently had a near-disaster when my newly-installed coupling decoupled and the shaft slid out the stern tube when I put the throttle...
Ursula, Your story gets my heart pumping (sorry about the pun...). I had a similar experience in a previous boat when the galley sink drain hose popped off...
Hello and Happy New Year to all, I seem to recall a post some years back regarding a procedure for replacing the fixed windows in the main salon where someone...
Peter, Tempered glass will not craze like acrylic but if the hull and deck flex the glass will break. Glass was used on some of the 409’s with many breaking....
Five years ago when I purchased Asherah the fixed windows were leaking badly (not helped by long truck ride from Texas to Ontario.) A local Rigger recommended...
I installed the s/s exterior frames 5 years ago during a rainy SF winter when I could not stop the leaks. Used only silicone as the gasket but let it cure...

Peter: I purchased trim rings from Doug at Klako when I took delivery of Pandora #10 because the lexan ports leaked a lot. As the material in the ports was...
I bought them from Saga directly. Not sure if they were made by Doug at Klacko or not, maybe he can reply. Roger _____ From: Saga_Yachts@yahoogroups.com...
If they were from the factory, we made them....although there is a new wider version (old version was 3/4"-7/8" wide, newer one needs to be 1-1.25") There is...
Doug, Thanks for responding. Yes I am interested in a set of portlight frames for 'Silver' Saga 35 hull#2. My hull was built at the same time as Stephen...
Greetings All, I have a few small dings to repair on our hull and cabin top. Does anyone have a favorite gel coat repair kit and tips for matching the Saga...
Hello Roger, I had a boat yard do quite a bit of touch up work in September. This involved both hand finish and some spray work. We found the best match was ...
That would be great, especially if you can find a DIY kit. Since I am in the land of Catalinas maybe I can track down something locally. Roger _____ From:...
Thanks for all of the feedback on this so far. As is sometimes the case, the more info we gather the less clear the choice. Does anyone actually know of a 43...
Peter, I think that Marc is the expert in this field of ports since that is his business. My only comments would be to look at the coefficient of expansion for...

Ahoy Pete! St. Augustine is not as warm as it’s supposed to be right now but it will get better. ILENE is hull number 23 and her fixed ports are not glass....
Hi everybody, Has anybody mounted a flat screen TV on the salon/aft head bulkhead? Any mounting or other installation issues I should be aware of? Thanks, Mark...
Hi everybody, I've got more questions as promised, but I'll put them all on separate threads. For those who have diesel heaters, can I get a survey of what...
Hi everybody, Having seen a few Sagas recently, I noticed that not everybody has the same sole boards fitted with latches for bilge storage. Our bilge access...
Peter, This is definitely not an area I claim any expertise but I will share my thoughts such as they are. 1. Marc knows what he is talking about so I would...
Mark, A few good storage areas we have found: 1. Port coaming in the cockpit (under the winch). Just install a round port or two and you'll find tons of...
Peter, I own a Saga 48 and have a lot of experience with glass windows. Most of it caused by Saga buying the laminated glass windows from a factory who...
Roger, Great storage comments. Yeah, I too spend a lot of time moving stuff out of that cockpit locker to get to what I need which is always on the bottom and...
I have an Espar Airtronic D5 putting out 18000 btu. When it works it is great but a motor lasts 5000 hours on average with replacements close to $700 dollars....
Hmmm, good point about the metal mass of tools; my compass is about 2' from there, which may explain some variations in the compass performance. I should have...
Roger, I am 'trying' to refrain from auxiliary observations about your toilet users. I have noticed a label on that flux gate compass that says to install it ...
