    2005 390DA Cabin Hatch Removal

    Great news. I didn't have to remove the hatch cover. I removed all the screws (that I could reach) from both sides of the tracks. I then raised the port side high enough to get the roller wheels out (the track bent significantly without damaging it), while I simultaneously raised the starboard...

    2005 390DA Cabin Hatch Removal

    My hatch jammed and when I tried to close it, a roller wheel came off. I obviously need to pull the hatch off to replace the wheel, but have no idea how to do it. I think I need to remove the port side track and lift the whole hatch off at an angle, but I can't get to all of the track screws...

    Draining ZF V Drives with a vaccum evacuater

    In addition, I've found this process to take a long time (not quick like engine oil draining). I've found it to "stop" at a couple of quarts, then I come back 10 minutes later and another couple of quarts will drain, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RIB or not

    I've been debating purchasing a RIB for years, but continue to do fine without one. Your setup sounds perfect. What models did you buy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Running bilge blowers?

    That seems to make sense and is certainly a conservative action that assumably wouldn't hurt anything. Unless of course it's sucking the heat back down-I'm no engineer. I deal with 700°C engines everyday, but they get a lot of airflow... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blue Hull, Just how bad of a PITA is it ?

    My only issue was months later, I noticed a few specs of rust on the top of the bow and wondered if someone had welded nearby... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blue Hull, Just how bad of a PITA is it ?

    I spoke specifically with Roger and when I told him that Olsens was $4800 vs his $20,000 quote, he acted quite insulted that I would compare the two. I did talk to Annie's and Chris gave me a $6000 side quote and $1900 bottom paint. I've had Olsen's do other work for me and Dom has been fair...

    Olsens quoted me $125 per foot plus a 10% veteran discount to paint the dark blue gel coat with Awlcraft. Owl Creek quoted $512 per foot for the same job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
