As I mentioned, you may have to remove the forward bulkhead to access the drain/anchor well connection.

Your "Fore peak", is that a locker under the Vee berth or the forward cabin sole or what exactly? Leaks forward emanate from toe rail/stanchion bedding issues, (i.e., the mounting holes/screws leak), or port lights that leak, or leaking overhead hatches or dorade vents. Or it could be the...

Is that "Bounty" still out there? (I know it's not the Brando Bounty that sunk recently)

DArcy,, What ship?

And the mystery deepens... I disassembled the pedestal further to analyze the "drill and tap" procedure and I found the screws! They are on the bottom of the control tier! Why, I got no clue. I believe it's the "bottom" because, in it's original orientation, the part number that is cast on...

Unless things changed dramatically over the years, the Hunter factory never rigged an anchor on a retail sold boat. The dealer did all the commissioning from the boxes of goodies that Hunter shipped with the boat or, had the commissioning crew bring to the site. And to me, that begs the...

You could buy rollers that are sold for the front of power boat trailers. Don't know what size you'd need, but go to Defender.com and see what sizes they sell, what they run and their composition. I've read of others who said that they worked in a similar application.

In an earlier year (1984), the water heater was located just forward of the helm, under the deck.

Sailem*, that's a good video too. Sadly, the couple in it bagged the boat you see in the vid, then bought a smaller "fixer upper", didn't do any work on it and then flew to Japan...never to be heard from (on You Tube) again!

Assuming the teak is screwed to the deck, how much would someone charge to remove a thousand old screws? Don't forget to include time to drill out or wrestle out the broken headed screws (perhaps 30% of them). There are several You Tube Vloggers who have undertaken this chore. "Learning the...

Was Mama watching you at the time of your "adventuring"?

Give 'Em Hell Phil.

jssailem, SV Intuition and I have weathered 5, 1 at sea, 2 at anchor, 2 in port. BTW, I ain't no part of a chicken! ggRizzard

jssailem, The island I live on gets a strong wind pattern every summer and fall. People write songs about them. They do movies about the wind and the places and people these winds affect. Meteorologists memorialize them in records they keep forever. The problem is, they don't keep the same...
