Would not be able to recut longer later. :| Spreaders are cut and installed. Ordered new tips due to corrosion between stainless screws and aluminum tips. Should b...

Length of spreaders

One of my aluminum spreaders broke at the holder on my 26m. I drilled a new hole and reinstalled but that left the starboard side bar 1 inch shorter than the port side. I ordered some 316 stainless steel for replacements. But could only get 48 inch lengths. This is approximately 4 inches longer than...

Re: Anchor locker Motor well drains - freeze proof them?

I put stainless steel mesh sink strainers upside down and mounted with 2 small stainless screws over the drain inlets. Large one for motor well and small one for anchor. This keeps debris out of the drains and helps with free flowing. Just wipe debris out as it buils up around the strainer. Not much...
