    Those replacement bulkheads look great and appear to match well to the other woodwork I can see in the photos. I'll try to figure out how to...

    I am replacing the original panel all together. The original panel is not waterproof and is down by the floor. I'm also adding circuits. The...

    Yes, you can have the DC panel & the AC panel active at the same time. They are electricity seperate systems.

ON the trasom...the two through hulls on the right are white plastic. A slight tug to check on them ended up almost completely ripping off the middle through hull with the outboard piece just falling into the water for eternity. Luckily, this happened at the slip! The large black hose on the left is the exhaust, which was properly double clamped.

Single clamped cockpit drain through hull. Sure these particular through hulls are located out of the water on the dock, but not always in the ocean! IF your through hulls are not the metal or high end expensive plastic, replace them before something unpleasant may happen...

The Boom Kicker. No more worrying about having to set the topping lift before lowering the main sail, especially if the sail has to come down NOW!

Maybe seeing metal, rather than the plastic through hulls is more comforting than plastic...although, I've seen some plastic through hulls at West Marine that I was told were Lloyd's of London approved.

GREAT SOLUTION!! Now,here is how you buy for LESS THAN WHOLESALE for your boat (or home fabric). Just visit this nice company and look for anything from thousands of bolts they have right on hand. First, go for a remnant (the smaller, left over rolls in stock), this is how I got a very high quality Sunbrella fabric for just $15/yd.! I'm doing my whole v berth and salon for $300 for the fabric (20 yds approx) plus, add about $800 for high density (a MUST) foam and labor, and for about $1,100 total, Seasters will look, but more importantly SMELL a whole lot better! Thank you for your help Dave & Tonette, you are terrific!

Original 1979 plaid beige. Not the ugliest stuff in the world..just don't take a big whiff of fabric & foam due to diesel odor....the boat was hardly used by the PO and the odors are in all the cushions, mainly the interior cushions with the original fabric (still has Jensen Marine tag on) and who knows how old foam..

So, if your sanitation hoses are beginning to look or already look like these, it's time to replace them before they have a chance to go out at the most inopportune time!

holding tank bladder and old hoses...a catastrophe waiting to happen! The bag broke upon removal....:( It's easy to just turn a blind eye and not deal with an unpleasant task. But, I think you'll agree it's far worse to delay what should be done right away!

Another almost new motor mount I think installed with the new engine in 2008. Gotta make sure these babies are taken care of as replacing them is sure not cheap.

Another view of the bimini just installed. A perfect combination of sun protection with some available between the dodger and the bimini. All around the bridge deck mounted traveler.

Bob at Brokaw Yacht Sales, San Diego, CA (on Shelter Island, a virtual boater's haven), referred me to Roger at Miramar Canvas also in San Diego. Thanks to Roger for making a wonderful bimini that not only does what we want to do (keep the sun off us considerably more), but it looks terrific too! Way to go Roger of Miramar Canvas!

Another new through hull installed. Less stuff to be concerned about when out in the ocean. Note the wood backing plate for the through hull. Nice work Lee of Brokaw Yacht Sales, Shelter Island, San Diego, CA!!!

Newer (2008 when new engine was installed) exhaust hose properly double clamped by Vince Balch, VB Engineering, Shelter Island, San Diego, CA. But the other two improperly clamped white plastic through hulls just had to go. The middle one just broke off with a light tug! Not cool.... Glad that happened at the slip!!
