Through hull lube
|
| |
Guidance requested on the proper way to lube through hulls.
Is there an acceptable "spray lube" or "brush on lube" which can be used to accomplish this when the boat is on the hard?
I recall that some through hulls can be disassembled when the boat is on the hard.
Not clear on what can/should be done when the boat is in the water.... more »

|
| |
I have the same engine on my B49. I installed a gage on the fuel filter. There is a kit you can buy that replaces the "T" Handel on the gage.

Fuel pressure gauge

Has anyone installed a fuel pressure gauge to indicate when it's time to change the filter? I am considering installing one with a sending unit, so I can install a gauge on my instrument panel. I don't know what range to look for and what type of gauge to buy. I have a B473 with a Yanmar 75 thanks... more »

acrylic lens replacement for lewmar port lights
|
| |
All of *Sophia's* port-lights are pretty badly badly crazed. Defender
stocks replacement lenses for about $33ea. Just looking at it, it seems
pretty straight forward, just four attachment screws. Anybody done this?
Can it be that simple?

Leaky port seals
|
| |
We have a Beneteau Oceanis 321 (1999 vintage) and the seals on the ports are beginning to be a problem due to leaks. I usually coat the seals with silicone grease every year, but this is no longer adequate. I have purchased new seals from Lewmar, and am curious about the experience of others re the installation process. Any advice? We are planning to... more »

Spinnaker Halyard exit
|
| |
Has anyone on the list installed a Spinnaker Halyard on a 461?
What I'd ideally like to do is install a top down asymmetric furler, but the stem isn't set up for it and I think the spinnaker exit might be too close to the head swivel of the furler.
thanks,
