My lead line for sounding bottom depths. Marked only at 5' (absolutely lowest water, given calm water); 9' (adequate at low water; given likelihood of swell/surge; 15' (adequate for 7-8-ft tidal change when sounded at any/unknown state of tide). Works great.
Custom two-bulb masthead light assembly by JC2. No-one makes an LED tricolor light for smaller boats; yet this is even more vital on a smaller boat than on a 35- or 40-footer. Red/green/white nav light below all-round anchor light (not the reverse, which makes no sense).
After looking far and wide (and offering $100/day) for anyone to help, I said 'shove it' to everyone and applied the Brightside (at best a two-person job) myself. Good enough; and DONE. - JC2
I’ve got a 1980 Hunter 30 Cherubini that I’m doing a steering pedestal overhaul on. As part of this I‘ve removed the two big instrument enclosures on either side of the pedestal that housed broken LCD displays for depth and speed - I can get this info off the Garmin display that will mount on...
I recently acquired a sailboat and noticed a small protrusion about 5x5in, under the starboard side of the hull in front of the keel. I have heard a few things, the one closest is that it is the plug to seal the toilet that is located above in the cabin The original toilet was removed some time...
I have a 1981 Hunter 33 (Cherubini). I need a new set of control cables for the throttle and shifter. Can anyone tell me the correct type and length of cable to purchase, or point me to a resource where I can look it up? Thanks in advance.
I have zero experience with boats and I am desperate to learn sailing. My future plans involve sailing abroad. I was originally looking at very small sailboats to learn on, but read a few times that these boats are just as easy to handle. Would anyone be willing to advise...
Lots of good work done.
New prop shaft, shaft log, cutlass bearing and engine mounts. Reconditioned prop and strut. Refastened.
I have more before pics and a vid if how bad the shaft and log were. May post later.
Thanks for looking.
I am looking for a boarding ladder that can be fixed-mounted (not removable), that folds down (not telescoping!), that's all-stainless (7/8" being ideal), that can be deployed by either one in the water or one on deck. It must be very narrow (about 10") and have staggered standoffs to be located...

Hello All!
Anybody know what size bimini to use for my 1982 Hunter 36/SL? I would like to mount on coamings (as opposed to rail). The SBO store doesn't seem to carry a precut version, so I may have to modify some other model to fit. I realize biminis are sort of complicated, but hoping a H x W...
