    Paint is 33 years old - tape won't stick to it, how do I wrap hatches/windows?

    Hello all, I was advised in my introduction thread to break my issues out into individual threads, so here's #1 such thread. My current project is to dry out my vberth so I can sleep in it while my rear cabin is in disrepair. The condensation from the vberth hatch is rather substantial, and...

    Freezer condensation on salon cushion 2002 Hunter 356

    I am having an issue where the wood in between the freezer box and the salon setee cushion condenses and soaks the cushion. I saw on an older forum post that mentioned there were issues with these boats having freezer/condensation issues, does anyone know how Hunter repaired vessels with this...

    Increasing air flow in the v-berth

    After installing solar power, the last thing I use shore power for is a 120VAC convecton baseboard at night which does a really good job of keeping the whole cabin (and v-berth) dry year round.

    Preventing condensation in forepeak after sleeping

    The forepeak on my 1984 C30 has no natural venting and so everything is moist and covered in condensation when I wake up in the morning. The rest of the boat stays dry, and the forepeak dries out within one hour of opening the companion way once I'm awake. I bought a Nicro 4" stainless solar fan...

    Heater suggestions?

    I have a C30 in in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking for a low-profile, quiet/silent, A/C or propane heating option. The nights are not very cold and a small fanned heater about does the trick in the cabin so it won't take much. It would be great to have something in the cabin, as well...

    Condensation on larger boats

    On my O'Day 23 condensation during the cooler months never seemed to be an issue. There was a little, but not really noticeable. (I did a full winerization to her each fall and had to wait until spring to use her again.) This will be our first winter on our 1985 Catalina 30. It has an A/C...
