I received an e-mail from the repairman doing my boat repair in Anchorage. I am in Az. He sent pictures of the completed repairs. Looks excellent.
The cost jumped up from $7300 to $18000 but I had no options other than cut it up and put it in the dumpster.
That 2005 yr. boat was poorly built in my estimation as well as the repairman. But it is done and usable again.

Jack, that seems a bit outrageous to me. That's more than double what that first quote was. Either you were baited, or the workshop estimator didn't know what he was doing. Or perhaps you had some ongoing conversation with them during the repair allowing them to take more and more, or wanting more done! If not, I think I'd be taking the repair shop to court. Colby |

Not today, but yesterday, I spent with friends who were in the process of buying a new to them 2016 C-Dory 25. And it was a great day, with fun times and a good ride. Believe me, that 25 can scoot.

Drying it out after 3 weeks of sitting at the shop waiting for the first break in maintenance on our new Suzuki 90. Last time I do that. I really feel for you folks who store you boat outside in wet climates. Love my boatshed!

When built in 1941 the Pinopolis lock was the highest single lift system in the world. My first experience going through a lock today. We rose and fell 75ft, pretty cool.

I spent Tuesday taking SleepyC over to Westside Marine in Port Townsend for the annual mechanical checkup and service. New oil upper and lower, new zincs, Sea Star checked cleaned and new grease, Wheel bearings checked and re-greased, and batteries checked. All good at 1455 hours. Then towed home. Good for another season. Getting ready.

Spent the last two days working on the C-Dory/Cape Cruiser boat lift. The motor on the lift motor farthest from the dock failed. It is fun (not) to work on a small floating dock, standing on an 8' ladder, with cold air from the river, keeping you uncomfortable... _________________ Steve Baum

In the last month or so. Installed new autopilot. Replaced second radio with newer DSC/GPS radio. Replaced one VHF Antenna. Pulled out Webasto heater, took apart, cleaned, reinstalled. Installed swivel mount for one of my downriggers. (Will do other side later.) Pretty much ready for the winter season to end! Colby |

Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2019 5:20 pm Post subject: Espar heater install - goodbye Wallas! |
|
|
Over the last few boating seasons, I got tired of the finicky Wallas stove/heater. It didn't work very well as a heater or as a stove. I had taken it apart numerous times and replaced the wick, only to find that by the next season, the wick had hardened up to the point where the kerosene fuel would not absorb into it. So....what to do. I liked the idea of a dedicated heater and first thought about the knock-off diesel heaters from China. Certainly a lot less expensive than an Espar or Webasto, but I didn't trust them on a boat. Another option was a Wallas heater, as many people on this site had liked them, but I didn't like the top and bottom connections to them, and of course I had already had experience with the Wallas name. I purchased an Espar diesel heater from a truck parts vendor locally and so began the next problem of where to mount it so I could use the exising hole in the hull for the exhaust, and run the 60mm ducting.
I found that behind the fridge and up under the gunnel was going to work if I could only fabricate some kind of mount for it. This area has runs of wiring and steering hoses so I figured I also should shroud the heater somehow. I ended up cutting 2 8x8 aluminum boxes in half lengthways and using them as mounts/shroud. The unit fit perfect and the aluminum should protect the wiring/hoses. (After running the heater, it's surprising how cool the plastic housing stays - it only gets warm to the touch.) I had to cut a half an inch off each side of the mounting plate that came with the heater in order for it to fit.
Air inlet side of heater: (More pics in my album)
I also chose this location because I had found a nice unused space between the underneath side of the sink and the under side of the fiberglass helm seat support that I could run the 60mm ducting. This worked out quite well and then I thought it would be really nice to run some ducting to the V-berth. So, I bought a 60 mm Y connection and with some fiddling and moving of wires, was able to fit it onto the outlet of the heater.
Y-connection:
I mounted the heater control beside the helm, so that it could be easily reached from inside the V-berth for those cooler mornings at anchor..
Once fully installed, I turned the heater on and WOW. This thing really puts out heat. It is a little noisy at first (sounds like a small jet engine coming up to revs), but after a few minutes settles down to a low-pitched whine. Not completely quiet, but it is a forced-air heater after all......
I have no more smell of kerosene in the boat now, (the Wallas stove/heater was kerosene only - not diesel) and I find that kerosene is much more pungent than diesel. We really can't smell the diesel tank (located where the Wallas fuel jug was) at all.
The next issue was the cooktop. I purchased an Origo alcohol stove and cut the top of the molded fiberglass galley for it to fit. No problem. Time will tell if the Origo will suffice, but it has to be more reliable than the Wallas was, and we still have the induction cooktop when at shore or when we run the Honda 1000 generator, as well as a propane canister barbeque and a canister propane stove.
Wallas - don't let the door hit you on the way out! _________________ MMSI#: 316033635 |

Chris, Looks like you did a nice job. Glad to be warm, eh?
I just replace my Ray218 VHF with the one I purchased on Ebay. NOt exactly what I expected, but the radio tech checked it out and it worked, (TX and Rcv) so wired it in. and the hailer didn't work. A bent pin on the multi plug. Bypassed that, the Squelch was a little fussy to start, but works now so there I am. Also pulled the Radar tower off, (the old ScanStrut one had pretty much flaked all the powder coating off. It is at the Powder coaters now, and and will be all shiny and pretty and done by a guy who does coating for the US Coast Guard and done in the same way (3 layers) and same color white as they use. Goes back on this coming weekend.

hey Harvey
I am about ready to mount my new radar on Sensei
I am worried about height. I see in pictures that you have a 4 or 6 inch riser. What is the Height of your boat from ground to top of radar _________________ Roger on the "SENSEI"
