Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Hello from sunny FL. Things are going well with the Compass. Doing lots of sailing and getting some projects finished. My brothers have been out at sea, so I have had few crew. Mostly sailing by...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Sorry for the late reply. My hull serial number is on the starboard side of the transom just under the toe rail. Good luck with your Compass. What are your plans?

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Thanks Exile. I should start moving on some more minor projects in the next few months. I am really grateful for all of Minaret's help and guidance. After 5 years, the Gelcoat still looks as good as...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Thanks Ann! I had so much fun sailing this past winter, I am now dreading the impending summer. But I guess I can finally start some more projects. I looked at the stove in the Bestevaer thread (Wow...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Also we made it through the hurricane Irma without even an ounce of damage. My dad's boat was not so lucky. He was in Key West and it was a total loss. He had good insurance, so he came out OK, but...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Hi all. I should post at least something for 2017. I was replacing my house and start batteries today and wanted to check to see when I installed them. It looks like i got about 5 years out of them....

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

There are a few other projects that I have managed to accomplish. I finally sanded and rebunged the cabin top hand holds (picture below). They were in pretty rough shape. A combination of green...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

One thing that has alway bothered me about the boat is the heavily oxidized black aluminum toe rail. I often searched for any ideas on how to bring it back to life. I have checked and I am unable to...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

After my younger brother took a slight fall down the companionway stairs I decided to make the boat a little more slip resistant. I added some nonskid tape to the hatches and swim ladder. I also...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Not much to say about the water heater install. I went with the isotemp SPA20. I mounted it above the motor. The old water heater was mounted in a similar fashion. I also installed a header tank.

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

For the boat's refrigeration, I decided to go with a Sea Frost BDXP air cooled unit with the standard sized freezer bin. I had always been intrigued by the freezer bin idea. I am glad I went with it....

Hi everyone. Well it has been another long period of time between updates. Things here are going well. I have resigned from my job. I was driving nearly three hours a day to the middle of the state...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Wow I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted. Boat work has slowed down now that I am working again (about 5 months now). I only have the weekends to work and sail. I am finishing up...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

So progress is still being made. While it is not moving along as fast as I would like, it is still getting done. In June we will be at our four year anniversary with this project. My last boat...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

The boat is still out of the water and we should be splashing on Wednesday. I did have the boat surveyed and was delighted that no issues were found. The surveyor tapped and used a moisture meter on...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

The galley thru hull work was not too bad. I removed the galley ball valves with little issue. They were on epoxied plywood backing plates that I never really trusted. I purchased two Groco IBVF...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

The boat was very overdue for a bottom job. It had been maybe 25 months. I usually don't wait so long, but money is tight. Last haul out we used Pettit Vivid and did not have great luck with it....

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

The plumbing was a pretty intensive project. I basically replaced everything. I have never had pressure water on a boat, so I had to learn a little about it. The boat originally came with a diaphragm...

Re: Refitting a Compass 47

Thanks! After all this work it is going to be tough to mostly enjoy the boat instead of just work on her. Most of the major projects from this point on are costly, and at best, I am working as an "on...
