    Companionway hatch

    Hello Richard, Yes, I stripped off the crappy teak then coated with Kiwi-grip as I will be doing for the entire none-slip areas on Cha-Wa-Kee.

    Companionway hatch

    Richard, Remove this shroud first. ...see pic. Then, remove one of the wooden slide sections that are on either side of the hatch. Port or starboard, doesn’t matter which; you will have to dig out the bungs covering the screws that hold the wooden slide section. Your sliding hatch can then be...

    mast base corrosion advice sought

    Hello all, I’m of the belief that most of the water found at the base of the mast enters through the sheaves at the masthead. I’ve had my mast down and replaced all the sheaves, there’s easy access for wind driven rain to enter the mast at this location. Now I’d like to figure out a way of...

    Feathering Prop

    Mark, Rather than being so inpatient and using my old small screen iPhone 5 in the car... I should have waited to view the pic on my iPad at home...as I just did. Again, thank you Mark, Rob.

    Feathering Prop

    Mark, Thanks so much for the info & pics, very helpful. One question. With the “nub” removed. How did you secure the cutlass bearing from spinning in the stern tube? Cheers, Rob.

    Feathering Prop

    Good day Mark, This coming spring if, all goes well, I’ll be installing a Beta 43hp in my M-382 Cha-Wa-Kee. I’m seriously considering swapping my Sailorman fixed two bladed 18x14 prop for a feathering three bladed. With the confines of the apature space in mind I’ve looked at these feathering...

    PERKINS 4-108 HP

    Allegedly the 4-108 only made 49-50 at very high RPM's. Realistically and in service, it was a 40 hp continuous rated engine at 3000 RPM. Literature I’ve read states the Perkins 4-108 50 hp at 4000 RPM. I wouldn’t dare do such a thing! My mechanic suggested...2600 to 2800 RPM’s would have...

    Boat Barn

    My winter boat enclosure. This is the third year of use. First year, design and build took three days. Deconstruction and storage about seven hours, it would have been quicker with help. Reconstruction in subsequent years has been about ten hours, this is simplified by all of the sections being...

    Impeller and gasket replacement

    Sorry, no pics and yes, I have the "Speedseal Life" installed. It's the run dry version. Removing the raw water pump face plate, swap-out the impeller is very straight forward...no screw driver needed!
