Andy, Pete, I'm currently working in a building on the Hinckley campus (in marine electronics). If you need anything checking out any time you're away from the yard, let me know (or assists with deliveries, Andy). I am C&C-less now, but have very fond memories of my 35-3. Best wishes, Tim

Was the fuel tank left full? If so, you can probably get away with the fuel that's in there. If not, emptying the tank and filling with clean fuel is probably adequate. Just take plenty of spare Racor filter elements with you 30micron, not 5micron. I'd replace the filter on the engine, too. make sure you know how to change the Racors without introducing air into the system. I keep a gallon jug of diesel handy to refill the the filter after I replace the element. Also, make sure you know how to bleed the engine and have the tools handy. Which engine do you have? For the windows, there is lots of expertise here and the archives. When are you heading up to Portland? I'll be around after about Jan 20th, I just have to get one more boat to the Caribbean first. I'd love to have a look at your boat. My boat is behind the LMI building next to Hinckley and I will be on the cat Aqua at Hinckley most of the day on Saturday if you feel like stopping by to say hi.

Racor Fuel filter fuel was clear red. Not dusky 1/2 to 3/4 full Removed all fuel and replaced with new diesel fuel engine started fine. It was suggested that I have fuel tank polished estimated cost is $570 before I sail the boat from Newport ri to Portland Maine My question is it worth it or is it better just to replace original fuel tank with new fuel Tank and if so plastic or aluminum 2 Next question stuffing box was replaced by yard in 2012. Do I need to do it again before launch 3 Last question. All cabin top window I have had new ones made. What is the best way to attach.
