The approach in that manual sounds very similar to what Marinette says about their new boats, crewzin. I spoke to a former USCG naval architect...
On my 46 Roamer, there is a grease fitting near the bottom of the rudder log. Good luck getting to it. If you have stainless rudders, you're in...
An interesting point, Alanglois. I would think you'd want to paint the log interiors as well the next time you have the shafts and rudders out....
That's an interesting point about the covered slip. As I understand it, EP-ZO is formulated to release H2O2 when the paint is exposed to sunlight...
Redhook98, I've been thinking about Trilux 33 and the other paints with "Cu anything" as the active ingredient. I understand that the Cu is...
So many choices... In late April we'll be blasting & painting the hull on our 46 Roamer and I'm looking around for bottom paints. ePaint's...
That guy musta been in a hurry to leave the docks! Fenders are a'flappin' in the breeze! And is that a shore power cord still plugged in while...
It doesn't work for me now, either. The entire kp44 site seems to be down. The following is the text of the page from my browser cache. Most of...
Don't know how I missed this one... chriswufgator, displacement and net weight are not the same, and yachtworld would not be my first choice...

Here's some more info on the Grocos from the sailing community: "GROCO no longer makes replacement parts for these seacocks, but here is what...
This is a done deal. Our Roamer will be repowered with 120hp Lehmans. I picked up the set yesterday with Twin Disk 2:1 gears for $4,500. They...
Unlike all other forms of stainless steel used in marine propeller shafts, aquamet 17 shafts are not only capable of standing up to brutal...

crewzin, you've got exactly what I've got. The only parts I need are the sight glasses and gaskets for them. As alloyed2sea said, you can make...
Thanks for the ideas, folks. A bit of a discussion with Artworks here has enlightened me to the fact that new rudder post gland nuts/stuffing...
The ones on my 46 are Chris Craft manufactured by Groco. All of the parts are off the shelf. The ends are bronze, I think, but isolated from the...
OK, I've finally gotten around to this project. Here's where things stand right now on the starboard side. I haven't gotten the port side fully...
Actually, I was looking at the frost damaged boat in Paduca, KY. It ended up selling for $45,750 in an insurance auction. My 46 Roamer has...
Not trying to be flippant, but the fair market value is determined the minute you sign the check and the seller accepts it. It might be a...
