Thanks for the responses. There is definitely balsa core in the deck of the gunnel. I am now rethinking my strategy of bonding the rodholder base to the gunnel, but rather gluing with 5200 since it can be removed at some point if needed. I will still set the screws in epoxy to seal the core...

Sorry, Here's the photo of what I proposing to do.

Hello All. I am looking at fastening a Scotty Sidewinder Rod Holder http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equipment/rod-holders/sidewinder.htm to my cockpit gunnels on inboard side. The top screws will go into the cored deck and the bottom fasteners will be through bolted. I want to protect core...

Thanks Sunbeam and AstoriaDave. I've been using the disposable dust/fiberglass particulate masks. The problem with them is the seal is not good and when the going gets tough, your protective eye wear fogs up. I think I'll go with a 3M 6001 / 7500 combination half mask. I also like the idea...

Crazy weather! Last week here in the Yukon, Haines Junction was Canada's Hot Spot at 13.6 C. Apparently warmer than Orlando, Florida.

Sunbeam, With all the different respirators out there, can you suggest one to use that is all purpose. I assume one would use a respirator with filters to protect against organic vapours (i.e. solvents, paints, contact cements etc.). Would this also double as a filtrate for dust particles...

What does this mean? I have read various threads on the past owners Reynolds, Fluid, Seasport, Trition etc. since the tolands. Can anyone with historical CD company knowledge enlighten me? Which years were built by which group etc? Thanks, Grazer P.S. Sorry If this causes your thread to...

Thanks for the responses. I'll report back when I get the 3/8 screw snaps and hopefully some pics of my new window coverings.

I found a local source for 3/8 stud screw snaps. Does anyone know if these will work in the window frames to do a similar installation of window coverings with snaps? I am assuming 3/8 inch is the screw length and should be sufficient to use in the existing screw holes in the window frame. Is...

Thanks Captain's Cat. Seen that video, but it doesn't detail the actual disassembly or other procedures. On another note, I did find a detailed procedure on mechanical steering maintenance from Alma's Only found here...

Hello All, I just wanted to resurrect an old thread to do some annual maintenance to my steering system. I want to pose the questions that "Almas Only" requested back in 2004. Anyone with advise and procedures on how to conduct maintainance on Teleflex NFB mechanical steering systems would be...

In speaking with a technical rep from Keelguard, they indicated that the Keelguard installed as directed will have great bonding characterisitics so long as the strip does not come in contact with rollers while retrieving or launching the boat. As far as the bow roller goes, it likely comes in...

Yes, kudos to Bub Bishop and the online service I received from EZ Loader Trailers. They were very patient and helpful in my trailer queries. Grazer

Thanks Marc. Sounds like it is total fessible to keep my existing brake set up and connect up the hydraulic lines with some flexible ones. Kudos Grazer

I don't want to change over to electric brakes unnecessarily only to accomodate a folding tongue. As sunbeam wrote, flexible lines are used in hydraulic surge brakes. I am wondering if those lines can be lengthened enough (inside or outside the frame) to allow the tongue to fold back without...

Thanks dotnmarty. I have hydraulic surge brakes with solid copper lines. I am wondering if one can put in flexible hyraulic lines to allow the tongue to bend 180 degrees. Alternatively, having to switch over to hydraulic over electric trailer brakes will likely be an expensive conversion for...

Hey Everybody, I am looking for anyone who has a folding tongue :smilep on their trailer and their experience with it. Which brand? Any problems? Does it only work with electric brakes or can a flexible hydraulic hose work on drum surge brakes? In my search of the archives, I only found a few...

Yup, I hear what your saying. It looks like it would still work for fishing though albeit somewhat challenging to handle a net on a salmon or harpoon a big hali. I think perhaps a shorter version. say around 4 feet, would give both sun/rain protection and an open area aft to fight and land...
