I’m using Yanmar premixed coolant which I get from my local marine store at a reasonable price. I changed mine last week after three years and the old stuff looked the same as the new. There are about 200 hours since the last change so it was time. Al Liles SV Elendil C 37/40+ Vancouver BC

I used a sharp chisel to remove the old glue. There was a bit of damage where the gelcoat pulled off. I patched it with white epoxy filler and the new acrylic covered over all my shady filling and sanding. Cheers, Al SV Elendil C 37/40+ > On Jun 2, 2020, at 3:18 PM, Peter Cowenhoven via

I have found, when using heat, I first heat the screw very hot, then squirt water on it to cool it rapidly. It seems the shock of rapid temperature change breaks the bond. I have been consistently impressed by my 1/4” impact driver. It pops out fasteners that look corroded and seized quite

Ken is correct. I’ve replaced mine with the Offshore Spars version. $145 and it fits like a glove. Cheers, Al SV Elendil C 37/40+ Vancouver BC > On Jun 14, 2021, at 2:37 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > Bruce, > > If you like, I can sell you mine. I’ll make you a great

I replaced my fixed port lights two years ago. I used 1/4 “extruded plexiglas with VHB tape and Dow 795. The plexi had enough flex to accommodate the curve of the cabin and the VHB tape held it in place. The 795 was used to seal the gap. The installation was the easiest part of that job. The

When I refit my 37/40 the riggers wouldn’t touch it; too old. I replaced all the standing rigging and fittings. It was just shy of $20k Canadian. Cheers, Al > On Mar 25, 2021, at 1:07 PM, David Risch via CnC-List > wrote: > > For the Marion Bermuda race 2009, 2011 and 2015 my original

I had a boat painted with Imron. I was very happy with it. It was somewhat cheaper than Awlgrip but you need supplied fresh air when spraying as it’s fairly toxic. Al Liles SV Elendil, C 37/40+ Vancouver > On Feb 24, 2021, at 7:20 PM, Ronald B. Frerker via CnC-List > wrote: > > Well, the

I, too, thought the Marco pump would be good for my system if my Shurflo quit working. Thanks for the warning. My Shurflo is quite loud. I’d like to find a quieter pump that has a smallish footprint. Let us know how you make out. Al Liles SV Elendil, C 37/40+ Vancouver, BC > On Feb 4, 2021,

Here in Vancouver, my boat guru suggested zinc paint for the prop and shaft. I wasn’t too sure but now I’ve seen several yards using it. My prop and shaft come out of the water (yearly) without hard growth on them. I’m sold. Al Liles SV Elendil, C 37/40+ Vancouver BC > On Oct 25, 2021, at

Be prepared to replace the idler plate under the pedestal. The original plate is steel which suffers from corrosion. Edson doesn’t make a direct replacement. The one that they sell is quite a bit thicker, requiring a spacer between the cockpit sole and the pedestal. I had a machine shop fab one

I solved the hollow river issue by using large SS bolts (short but wide) drilled through the center to accommodate the steering cables. The machine shop that watercut the new SS plate did them on a lathe. The whole assembly cost less than $500 CDN. Al Liles C/40+ Vancouver BC Please show your
