    Black spots in diamond pattern non-skid

    I want to clean the deck down to the gelcoat, there seems to be yellowing, assumptively due to a build-up of wax, I have been told by the woody wax people that an alkaline based deck cleaner will remove old wax. I can not find an alkaline based deck cleaner. Anybody know of a brand?

    The knob on the pin that secures the Tuna door broke off. It is lost. In order to unlock that door, I need to get a good grip on just the pin, which is difficult to do by bare hand. Attached is a pic. The pin is below the bolt in the center. Anyone know where to get a replacement?

    Our boat name, Emerald Eyes, is entirely right of the handle. I like the idea of an image on the left side. I’ll havta think about that.

    My big one is plugged and used to store downriggers and other fishing equip. That drain plug holds very well. If I disconnected the hose, I would also put an end cap on it, to be conservatively redundant.

    Still running the original stuff, except I had to replace the mother board which is in that corner. We all know where it’s at. That cost $800 installed. On this topic, I also tape dryer sheets all around the air return areas under the stairs to filter the air going back to the a/c.

    Autopilot question: Finally launched our boat today in Chicago, (all Chgo harbors still not open), but I got out. My B&G network pilot had a display message: rud drv. I could not use the autopilot, but manual steering was fine. I’m guessing this means rudder driver. Is this a diy, a small...

    I followed your link and looked at that faucet. I actually have a similar faucet in my bar sink at home. It is not a very busy install. Now that I know I can get to it, I'll just have to contort my body to get inside the cabinet to get er done. My back is sore just thinkin bout it. Thanks,

    My galley faucet is leaking whenever the hot water is turned on, but not leaking otherwise. I think the faucet is a Scandvik standard galley mixer. I see the slow leak coming out thru the hot water knob. I can not figure out how to pull that knob to check the inside for the source of the leak...

    Replacing thruhull transducer & faring block

    I will be replacing a thruhull transducer & faring block with a new ducer and block. The old one was in there when I bought the boat 12 years ago. Any issues with using the existing hole and existing faring block to mount the new transducer? How does one actually remove the old transducer...

The boat is a 1998 370 Express and the engines are the original 7.4 horizons. The mechanic says that both engines need to...

    Umbrella for cockpit

    GCHOG: I originally used adjustable "oh-shit" poles, and the wind bent them in half, two of them! Creekwood: Your setup looks to be spot on! Does your boat neighbor have the same thing? Where did you get the poles? And the canvas customized to fit? saopm: Was that sunfly setup made to...

    Umbrella for cockpit

    I am planning on making a "patio" umbrella to cover the rear end of my cockpit. I have a 1998 370 Express, with a large and wide cockpit. I already have a bimini fore and aft of the radar arch. The boat has built in rod holders on each side. I'm thinking of conduit or something similar in...
