I just found the taco trim in our local supplier in Cape May. Thanks for the help.

Where can I buy the 90 Deg. hatch trim . The hatches measure 24" x 37" inside floors. The metal is 1/2" along the side of the hatch and then is about 1/8" on the top. Any help would be appreciated.

ed c.

With those hours you should get no less than $30K. They are are always in demand. There was a lot of doubt about them at first, but they have a good reputation. If you are selling them in Gov. Moonbeam's state I would add at least 20%.

jim, Tim S. had installed an 8D on the starboard outside side for our house battery. I use 2 smaller batteries on the port side for starting both engines.

ed c.

Jim, if you buy my boat you will have a pair of 315's. 1592 hours.The highest cruise I ever had was 34.4 kts.

ed c.

John, my batteries are acid. By the way, it is rare when I use the dock charger.

ed c.

I have Yanmar 315's. ! battery for each engine & a 8D for the house battery. The house battery lasted for 7 years.

Service for Volvos in the Cape May area is the pits. My son looked at that boat. He thought there were better deals around. It is really tough selling a boat in NJ.

ed c.

I see that my son's boat made the list, a 23.3 Formula with twin 130 inboards. I fished on it this past Sat., great sea boat and very efficient. He did a complete makeover.

ed c.

The seal is as follows; Single Lip Seal ( X0529105) ( 16x28x7 mm ). You need 2 for each pump.

ed c.

Bob Lico, sounds good to me, how do I get in touch with either one of them?

ed c.

One other thing, if they are leaking at the opening, it is definitely the seals. There are 2 bolts holding the pump on the block with studs.

ed c.

I have rebuilt the water pumps, I am no mechanic. We buy the seals for less than $4 each at a a bearing & drive co in Nj. It takes about 30 min. to replace the 2 seals after removing the pump from the engine. You do need a gear puller. Once you see it done, it is a piece of cake. Get the manual and ...

Walter, The old man on the Pawn Stars turned 71 on Mar.12.He looks as though he is ready for you know what.

ed c.

Walter, to change the subject "hatch covers". The Bomar ones worked out real good, I could not be more pleased. No more blood in the bilge if I ever go back to the canyon. I just found out that I am 3 years older than the old man on the Pawn Stars TV show.

ed c.

Can this item be rechromed or must I buy new ones.

ed c.

Brewster, ash cans, ash cans, you are sure showing your age, kids today don't even know what coal is.

Looks like you are in good company with Tony Athens saying the following " SOP in our shop is to dip or spray every plug, terminal, etc. we assemble or touch in a petroleum based di-electric liquid like Corrosion-x, corrosion block & Wd -40."
I'm impressed.

ed c.

There were 2 30' albemarls brought into the Cape May area within the last year. The 1 with 370 yanmars paid quite a bit more than the one with 3116 cats. Both boats are Palm Beach clean. If you read boat diesel .com , from the archives it seems that the 3116 does not have an "A" rating. In fact it m...

For all you folks that helped, I found the perfect hatch.

Bomar - G81618-W
Cutout is 16-1/4" x 17-5/8"
Opening is 14 x 16

ed c.

I was also thinking of draining the water overboard myself, I have not decided what to do, but I still think the best bet is to stop the water entering the bilge. Maybe I'll get a brainstorm.

ed c.

Capt. Pat, I have looked at this idea, however we do a lot of tuna fishing and I am tired of all the blood, etc. going into the bilge. Bomar has an alum. hatch which will do the trick, but the cost is very high. I have some other ideas that I might try. Thanks to everyone for your comments & help.

ed c.

Rear deck hatches, temporary. I can not find a hatch that will seal out the water without spending a lot of money. The 2 small hatches are about 16" sq. and the large one is 26" sq. They are original hatches. I have talked with a number of fiberglass guys about this. My deck is fiberglass over the 3...

charlie,I'm thinking about it, looking at all the options, including plumbers putty.

ed c.

Hatch covers. I was looking at Dolfinite. I am not fasting the covers down.

ed c.

What is a good sealant that never gets hard and stays sticky most of the time? Thanks in advance

ed c.

In the middle of December I switch to bucktails with a green twister.
The Stretch 25 comes with a very large lip, you need a stout rod, because the downward pressure is great.

ed c.

Stretch 25, they come in various colors. Best lure for trolling very slow. Good Luck

ed c.

I have a 40' carver on one side of me and some large 37' boat on the other side, both of which give me protection from the elements. I feel lucky they are there and they rarely if ever move them. They say it's cheaper then renting a motel every weekend and the one guy always has top shelf booze.

ed c.

Kevin,, if there is not a written diary with dates and hours when something was completed on the engines " WALK AWAY"
Good Luck

ed c.

Anybody have a good idea to replace the original scuppers?

ed c.

I'll be attending the show on Friday. Hope to meet a few of you.

Down here in S. Jersey, about 70 miles South of where it hit the mainland, we got wind and little else. I have a basement 500 feet from the bay and it had 1/2 inch of water which was gone by Tuesday.I got lucky again, although the people up in Vermont seemed to have really gotten hit. It must be dem...

American Marine Products in Pompano Beach , Fla. They have lots of goodies for your windows

ed c.

Try Fibertech, 305-635-2818 or 305-365-8661, I think they were subs for Bertram. I know they made the decks. Good Luck

ed c.

What am I missing here? I never in all my years of working on and owning boats have I ever heard of T-shirts in the engine room.
It must be a Southern thing, like we eat hoagies up here in NJ.

I was able to buy Nautolex in any length from Defender.com in Waterford Conn. I found old trim in my sons house, it looks in good shape. Thank You all.

ed c.

Walterk, that web site is Tacomarine.com. I believe that you can bend that material very easily if I remember correctly.

ed c.

Capt. Pat, do you think that trim will cover a 1/8" thick material. Taco is selling the material on their site.
the material from Seadek is "peel & set".

ed c.

The hatches measure 2x3.

ed c.

What size do you have? Height? lip should be about !/4"

ed c.

I'll second that River House.

ed c.

Where can I purchase the trim that was used to trim the hatches with Nautalis material. I'm thinking of using a material from Seadek which is 1/8 " in thickness. I believe the old Alum. trim will work, unless someone has something better. Thanks

ed c.

Rumrunner, I did the exact same thing. Now I really enjoy fishing.

ed c.

Brewster, I was reading on another site about a class action suit against Globalstar, it's supposed to be close to trial . I did not read too much on to it since I don't even own a cell phone.
Does anyone remember what a car phone was? How times have changed.

ed c.

It seems we are doing too much reading and not enough fishing. Boy, there sure is a lot of crap that comes out of Washington.

ed c.

Brownlee, one of the biggest groups there was from Florida. As for facts, I would never believe anyone in the Obama Administration. They probably did not even read the law themselves.
Nothing personal, just business.

ed c.

Dalik & Brownlee, I was at the Fishermens March on Washington last February . The march organizers refused to let Eric Schwaab speak, they paid for the march and told him to take a hike. Brownlee, how do I get one of those $80K board member jobs with all expenses paid to the tournaments, personally ...

ed c.

it's the truth or like Jack Nicolson said " You can't handle the truth".
All I want is one of those $80K jobs with the Billfish Foundation and get all paid trips to fancy tourneys.
