Re: Duplex steel for deck fittings?

Plate, bar stock and tubing are readily available and cost for the amount needed for your applications should not be that much more than 316. 2205 is used in offshore oil and gas a lot. Good choice.

Re: March pump lc2cp

Depending on where you are, you might want to put a much larger stainer in. Tropics (including Texas and Florida) you're going to wish you went with a big one.

Re: Captain Ron's Wanderer in Refit!

I lived on the next dock from her and heard lots of rumors about her. Good to know she's getting the attention she needed. Love to take a look at her and see how the refit is going. Where are you...

Re: I Broke the Law Today!

I think it was: with a paragraph on the back of each one, describing the crime to be used as evidence against us. Then the judge walked in with his seeing eye dog................

Re: Through hull valve stuck, am I missing something? Suggestions?

Doesn't look like there is anything attached to that sea cock. The valve looks similar to a spartan which is a metal to metal tapered design. These can be rebuilt. You have to lap the plug to the...

Re: Perkins 4.236

With Perkins you need the serial number off the engine not just the model number. There have been many different 4.236 engines. Good news is parts are available.

Re: Southwest Boat Show Houston March 21st

I think this show (in it's current configuration) has been around for two years. The first year was a little lean, but last year was much better. Many sailing type vendors. i.e. anchors, hardware,...

Re: Bayfield 25 Cruising Questions

I at one time had a Bayfield 25. Great little boat. I wouldn't think taking the mast down to be a one man job, but guess it could be done. When you say cruising, not sure what you meant, but the...

Re: main sail packing system

Almost any sail maker/canvas shop can make a "stack pack" type sail cover to use with lazy jacks. Cost much less than Doyle too.

Re: 77 Cascade 29

The cost will run between a few hundred, to well over the worth of the boat. In other words....many thousands.

Re: Wharf at Clear Lake Marina - Thinking of buying a slip

That is the side to avoid. Shallow water especially in winter. Last I heard they had a law suit against the pipeline company, but don't know where it stands. I don't think they are allowed to...

Re: Wharf at Clear Lake Marina - Thinking of buying a slip

I know a few people over there, including one couple that owns their slip. I've not heard anything bad about Portofino. I would probably lease a slip there except they don't allow satellite dishes...

Re: Atrocious Service from Defender

Defender is a first class outfit. You bought some cheap speakers and should had done a bit more research on what you were buying.
