You all make me feel good about having just replaced my transmission cable - while safely doing other things in the marina. Now I'm starting to think about the probably 34 year old throttle cableI can imagine the funny story possibilities. Nate Sarah Jean 1980 30-1 Siskiwit Bay Marina

Stus-List Genoa/Jib Sheet diameter on a 30-1, 7/16 or 1/2?

Replacing the 135% furling genoa sheets on a 30-1 used only for cruising. Have had 1/2. The admiral likes the solid red and green colors available for Samson Trophy Braid but for some reason they only offer those color options up to 7/16. At 1/2 they switch to flecked white. Any experience with

Stus-List butyl cleanup?

Stus-List diesel fuel line with banjo fitting

I need a new short 2QM15 diesel fuel line (part 17 on their diagram attached) with a banjo fitting on one end (apparently ripped the hose while pulling the engine last year). These have a press-fit brass female connection. My regional Yanmar supplier (Toad, formerly Torresen) has these

mast wrap warms up the cabin because it lowers heat loss? Interesting. Been thinking about adding one for halyard sound-muffling and aesthetics, but hadn't thought about warmth. Warmth matters on Lake Superior... Nate Sarah Jean 1980 30-1 Siskiwit Bay Marina Cornucopia, WI On Tue, Jun 10, 2014
