I used Permatex 81160. According to their data sheet it's good to 600F. It's available at just about any auto parts store. When I installed the outlet I was on the inside the boat tightening the nuts while my wife was outside the boat holding the screws with a screw driver. As the goo oozed out...

When I talked with the folks at Scan Marine about moving my Wallas stove/heater they told me to be sure to use plenty of high temp RTV when mounting the exhaust flange because the flange is only tack welded to the tail pipe and not fully welded. This allows water to seep in around the outer...

My 2013 Angler has the very same cleats you show in your picture, starboard screwed to the inside of he hull. An excellent way for water to get into the balsa core.

I need to replace one of the battery compartment hatches on Glenda Jean but I don't know if I need the "white" or "off white" color. The hatch in question: I'm pretty certain that the hatch is a Bomar G7812 which comes in three colors, white, black, and off white. I'm certain it isn't the...

White or off white?

While looking at charts of Puget Sound today I was surprised to see that much of the area has depths of hundreds of feet almost up to the shoreline which got me to thinking about how much rode would be required for anchoring in the area. My usual boating areas, Pamlico Sound and Beaufort Inlet...

I think C-Dory has done away with the zippered privacy curtain. My 2013 Angler came with a pleated hanging curtain that slides in a track fastened to the top of the v-berth opening. It's stiff as a board and wants to fold back unless snapped on each side of the opening. I kept snagging it when...

As a note to anyone else considering whether their house battery will run a C-PAP all night... This past Wednesday night I ran my Wallas stove/heater (the single burner 800t model) from 7:30 pm till 7:00 am on Thursday along with my REMstar Plus 60 Series C-PAP from 9:00 pm till 6:00 am off...

My oldest son and I ran down to Charleston for some fishing on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday the fish didn't cooperate but we did manage to snag a crab pot that had washed out the inlet. Fort Sumter. The Charleston Crab House on Wappoo Creek was kind enough to let us...

I'm not sure when a regulator would be a requirement but I've been running a Northern Tool 7 watt solar panel on each of my batteries since last spring to keep them charged up while the boat isn't in use. I check the voltage regularly and have found them to show 12.6 to 12.9 volts whenever I...

Give scanmarineusa.com a call. They are the US distributer for Wallas products. They were extremely helpful when I called them with questions last winter in regard to relocating my stove, told me the things to check after moving it to be sure it would function correctly when I turned it on the...

The Pamlico Sound has always been one of my favorite boating areas. Now you've got me thinking about a loop around the Pamlico after the weather cools off a bit more.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I've decided to replace my old machine with a new one that will run on 12 volts to cut the inverter out of the loop and save a bit of batter power. If my group 24 battery isn't quite enough I can go up a size or two on my house battery to give me a bit more...
