Ya its based solely on how much is sucks to lay on your back with a sander for a day or 2, you turn black or in my bro's case blue, literally. I know you can pay someone to do it, but I think it should be a right of passage or something, you should have to at least do it once, plus like someone else...

coolair

OK, i dont know mine hatches just seem alittle wider than the glass tech, i am going to have to take the side engine covers off and study it a bit, i get what you are saying though. your pics a great help. thanks

coolair

GOT IT, looks cool, i dont know if i can do that right now with out redoing the hatch cover too, what kinda of wood is used in the original construction?

coolair

OK, just had the hatch support break, the piece that runs between then engines, from front fuel tank bulk head to door bulk head. its 1 3/4x2 1/4 with a notch cut into it and a piece of 3/4x3/4 screwed in, what do i use to replace it, wood? is the cosa board or other stuff strong enough,

coolair

ok
so heres the deal, finally burned through my 180 gals of avgas and the price has gone up to 3.60, fuel at dock is 2.77 if i use the ethanol how long do i have before it eats my tank?

Ya I have emailed back and forth with alex about a few things and he seems like a really really nice knowledgeable guy. I know Rawleigh has a deck, i am not really in the market yet, but just wondering. The dect on ebay looks like an OEM wood deck. Thanks for the input i will probably need one come ...

coolair

Just wondering

coolair

Ya it looks like they make pretty cool stuff, but neither of those emails are any good

coolair

Thanks

coolair

Hey anyone have the info or know how to get into contact with the guy that owns or designed the hard top, radar post and tank for Lighting shack, i have tried both emails and got nothing. thinking radar post for now and they very nice hard top later

coolair

Ya i have yet to take mine out for a full trial, my bro is gonna give the once over, he uses a straight 1kw 200htz through hull furuno and can pick up the bottom really well for commercial fishing, so once he checks it out we will see if it is a good as everyone really says they are, I have heard no...

coolair

coolair

Got a 69 FBC, just wondering whats the easiest way to get to the race for the wires going to the fly bridge, i have to run my transducer cable up and want to try and redo my power wiring and other stuff.

Thank you very much.

coolair

Heres my 2 cents Furuno has had the best radar and fish finders, my bro fishes for for a living, and thats what he uses as a sounder, but I went with the garmin unit, its touch screen, and very user friendly. the furuno/garmin/raymarine rep here said any one who buys a navnet3d and doest get some so...

coolair

What was OEM for the 31s as a head, the previous owner removed the head from my boat and put a porta poti in, there was no holding tank right?

coolair

AAH i was wondering how far apart i needed supports, thanks for that info, i knew it had to be about that, in my industry we have to support duct work ever 5ft.

coolair

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has a good copy of a wiring diagram, for a 1969 31
I have tried to read the ones posted in the manuel but between the magnify glass, and zooming they just aint cutting it. sorry for beating a dead horse on this, i know people has asked alot.

thanks

coolair

Thats what i was wondering
Thanks

coolair

Just wondering if anyone knows the or if there is even a code to match the gelcoat on a 31. i know it would have to be modified due to weathering and age, but my bro fixed a little spot on the bottom and white is not gonna cut it if i have to make repairs or when i flush mount my electronics.
thanks

coolair

I think marinas are responsible too.. I just spoke to the guys at galveston yacht basin, They just got fuel back at the dock after Ike, they said they were going to switch to a marine gasoline, but it was easier to just keep what they were using, ie gasoline that has ethanol.

coolair

Hey,
I am new to the board, and just bought a 31, I was wondering if anyone has used avation gasoline, it doesnt contain ethanol, and is 100 or so octane, thought it could atleast be a short term solution until the tank could be replaced
Thanks
