Cancelled - It's time for her to go! Good news and bad news for me: The boat I was going to buy fell through, so I'm going to hang onto this one for a while!

I lost my steering when I was backing my boat away from the launch ramp on Friday. Something popped in the mechanism that's behind the steering wheel. I think the part is called a spigot, but I'm not sure. From what I found, it looks like a Teleflex Safe-T system. I've attached a photo. The...

1988 26' Blackwatch. The boat was repowered in 2003 with twin Honda 225's, which now have only 340 hours on them. This boat was designed by Ray Hunt and has a very deep V which cuts through the water and provides a comfotable ride in rough seas. Easily cruise at 30 knots, WOT throttle is ~36kts...

I converted my two small (useless) deck hatches into a larger one and added a custom stainless steel bin to store fish below the deck. This will replace a large cooler and save some deck space. Here is a summary of the project: Before: To start, I removed the cracked bins and cut the floor...

I'm rerouting my fuel line (I'll explain why in a separate thread later) and am wondering if the brass fitting on top of my fuel tank can be removed or rotated about 180 degrees. The fitting is the square one on the right side of the photo below. Thanks in advance for your advice. I don't...

I'm considering a new rain cover for my boat and I found this one: http://www.overtons.com/modperl/boatcover/bc_detail.cgi?r=bdc&i=70480&make=WELLCRAFT&model=STEPLIFT%20V20%20CUDDY%20I/O&unum=5665&year=1987&wc_pn=WL1844S My boat's a 1980 but these covers are for 1987-1993. Were there any...

I got the following private message on 4/23 from "Stephanie": Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it...

I pulled my burned up motor a few months ago and I'm working on putting a remanufactured long block together.  In the process, I figured I should check out the stringers that the motor mounts on.  A buddy came over and we started by drilling a hole between the old mounting holes, and the wood...

I haven’t posted for a while because last summer I lost my motor (a 1980, 305 Volvo Penta I/O), when it took in some salt-water somehow. My mechanic said there was water in the cylinders, etc, and it is a total loss, so I’m hoping to re-power sometime in the next several months. He quoted $9,000...

Does the section below the floor that holds the fuel tank have any drainage? I opened up the hatch that covers the fuel tank and found some old moldy water sitting on top of the tank. This water obviously leaked through the joint between the hatch and the floor, but why would it stay there...

I just finished (with lots of help from a friend at work) mounting an anchor roller to my bow.  I used a thick piece of aluminum (scrap from work) for the mounting bracket and polished it so it looks great.  I found a big cleat at the recycle yard for $5.  The bolts go all the way through and I...

I got my controls back together and made an improvement in the process. The mounting screw holes were stripped out and cracked after 25 years: so I decided to add a mounting plate so that I could use new holes. I found a scrap of stainless at work (one of the benifits of working for a...

I'm at the end of a frustrating day. My Sturgeon fishing trip was interrupted when my boat got stuck in reverse. I took a closer look at the controls and found that they had been band-aided together by the previous owner. What is missing is a metal insert that keeps the cable sheath from sliding...

My controls are worn out and I am starting to look into what is involved with replacing them. Basically, I have two problems: 1. It is tough to find neutral sometimes and that can be a big problem when docking 2. The throttle is very touchy (i.e. it is hard to speed up or slow down "just a...

Have you ever seen anything this ugly? It is a White Sturgeon from San Pablo Bay, CA (the northern part of "San Francisco Bay"). It was 79 inches and about 150 pounds. It took about 30 minutes to get it in using 80 pound spectra fishing line. Catching one of these fish in this area isn't...

Anyone have experience with a stock canvas (I guess), boat cover that fits well on a V-20 Cuddy? I'm looking for something to protect the boat from the sun in the summer and maybe from the rain in the winter when it's parked in the driveway. I'm not sure if a cover can do both, but I'm hoping...

I just noticed a pretty significant fuel leak out of the bottom of my fuel pump. Fuel is dripping from the bottom of it at a pretty high rate.  I pulled it off and I can't see any loose hose connections or anything, although the gasket between it and the motor was pretty bad. Is it possible that...
