Late last season I started having trouble beating up wind, the headsail would start to thrash rhythmically. At the time I tried adjusting tension without success. My sailmaker had to do a minor stitching repair on the headsail but reported everything else seems fine with it. Now that I've...

Hello, We have a 2002 Hunter 460 with the original Adler Barbour Fridge and Freezer duo. Our freezer over freezes every 1-2 months. We have read it probably is a seal issue. If it is what do we replace? What part, from what vendor/parts store? I have thawed the Freezer. What setting does this...

Hi, I need to loosen the rudder and lower it down. I have some damage at the top of the rudder that I need to see how to repair (Image 1). My thoughts are whats keeping the rudder from falling down? Is it the tiller level and the sprint (Image 2)? I´m a little bit concerned if something else...

I'm replacing my engine control cables because the shifter cable broke last fall (When approaching the gas dock. An interesting few minutes!). I have the cables disconnected at the top of the Edson pedestal, the plastic bracket is loose, and the cables extracted from the interior of the boat...

Hello everyone, The VW800 windlass on my 1991 Legend 43 is getting quite old, and I’m planning a proper upgrade. I’m currently weighing my windlass options and could use some advice. I already have a new Lofrans Tigres horizontal windlass, but due to the unique shape and design of the chain...

I am looking at a Hunter 26 that is in otherwise decent aesthetic condition. It looks like someone my have backed into a rock, dock, or other boat. As you know, Hunters have a layer of hull protruding. This crack is on the protruding sheet. (It is unclear how deep the crack goes.) Is this "run...

Hello All, This is my first time posting here so I apologize for any etiquette mistakes. I recently purchased what is likely the most beat-up shoal draft 1983 H34 you have ever seen. The entire cabin is full of mold and most of the wood in the boat, including bulkheads is rotting away from...

Hello All, I'm looking for recommendations on all-in-one kits or a series of components to set up a trickle charge solar panel kit for my sailboat. I have two 12V batteries, and I want to find products or kits that will give me everything I need to connect the solar panels to my batteries to...

If anyone wants to repair a freestanding mast for a hunter vision 32. I have one to give away that is broken with a clean snap at around 35 feet. Also, so anyone know if the forestay on the freestanding mast should have tension or not? Thanks for the help. Maybe we can both help each other

I'd like to replace the exhaust elbow in my Hunter 320 (yanmar 2GM20F) with a stainless one, but the one I got from exhaustelbow.com is decidedly a different shape from the existing one. The current one has a riser immediately after the engine, then injects the water. The new one comes out and...

New member here, been looking for a trailer sailer for a while and recently picked up a new to me Hunter 23 and trailer that was for sale over in Holland, MI. The boat seems to be in decent shape, last sailed in 2022 so it's only sat for a short time and at $750 for the boat, trailer and sails...

Hey everyone, I apologize for the basic questions, but I truly appreciate everyone's knowledge on this forum. I'm relatively new to boat ownership and am tackling most of the maintenance on my boat myself for the first time, with guidance from YouTube and this forum. I own a 1984 Hunter 31...

Looking to add a roller furler to my Hunter 23 Can anyone link me the tangs/link plates they used to raise the roller furler out of the anchor well? If anyone has any pictures that would be helpful as well. Thank you in advance, trying to sort out my rig before launch.
