Re: Keel "Deposits" - What are they?

Manateeman, the keel bolts are clean and tight. JC Reefer, the substance dissolves in vinegar (takes several hours) but does not bubble. Not a lot of coral in Long Island Sound off the CT coast but...

Keel "Deposits" - What are they?

We pulled our Cal33 last week and found rounded lumps of material on the keel's port side. They pop/scrape off and crumble into white powder. Here are two photos. What is this stuff?

Re: Pod or no pod

Thanks to all who responded. I’m going to try a pod I was able to find at Mystic Marine Consignment (new and in the box but inexpensive). The inability to swivel it or adjust the angle are the...

Filling navpod holes

Re: Pod or no pod

Good input Jim. At our dock in Westbrook, CT we are surrounded by pods, but they are almost all 35 ft and above boats. Our Cal33 has a lot less cockpit space, hence my dilemma.

Pod or no pod

I’m installing a B&G Vulcan display in the cockpit (sailboat) and wonder if it really needs to be in a pod e.g. Navpod or similar. The display is rated IXP6 & 7 so is reasonably watertight and I have...

Re: Securing set screw

Thanks for your responses. GordMay, you are correct, I simply want to prevent set screw from loosening. Regular "blue" Loctite seems to be incompatible with plastics so looking for alternative.

Securing set screw

Any suggestions on securing a metal set screw in a composite housing on wind instrument set? I know some materials are not compatible with plastics.
