Hi All, Does anyone know what the washer on the rudder post between the nut and the cockpit flange is made of? The yard that took the rudder out destroyed the...
I agree with Terry that it probably is nylon. Mine was in good shape when I removed the rudder this year, but Terry, just in case I ever do need to replace...
Rob, I believe I retrieved the dimensions from the existing one and made it using hole saws. Failing that, one could retrieve the specs from the lower one...
Hi Robert, I am making one out of nylon I ordered from Central Plastic Sales in Cambridge. Barry ... -- Barry Zajdlik, Principal, Zajdlik & Associates V: (519)...
We have an original Rinnai (REU502) instant hot water heater. It worked fine until this spring. The pilot light works fine but the heater units refuse to light...
Hello Ron I have a Paloma Water heater in my 1981 Niagara 35 which had the similar problem - although I could get it to heat. I used to get the thing ...
thanks, david. Before I try to remove the unit from the head area, I think what I'll do is run some white vinegar through the water system. that may free up...
Ron, Before you put much money in something so old you may want to consider a newer product. They now come with O2 depletion sensors so you don't have worry...
Wes! Thank you. I have to tell you that when I typed this up last night, my wife said, "why don't you ask Wes?" Well, my goodness, I have and he had a really...
Ron, That is correct. The oxygen depletion sensor negates the need for the vent. You still need to have some ventilation so that the O2 consumed by the unit...
I didn't have a Rinnai, but I had a Wolter "ventless" water heater on another boat. I guess they're technically safe in that they shut down if the oxygen in...
I haven't seen the Excel model that Wes mentioned, but it undoubtedly has an exhaust vent somewhere--almost certainly at the top--that just vents into the...
Wes: do you know anyone who has used an excelamerica tankless hot water heater. the reason i ask is that they don't seem to sell their product through dealers...
I installed the Excel on my hull # 26. Works great. Go to my website www.baileywick.org, lick on projects tab and scroll to the heater item #13. Shows...
My charter boat had only the 10 gallon tank heated by engine heat exchange. Charter customer wanted hot water in the morning after being at anchor all night....
Wondering if any of our members have switched out there anchors to the Ronca. After nine months cruising down in mexico and the california coast, one place...
We do not have a Rocna but we have two southern cruising friends who do (Whitby 42 and Hunter 46) and they are very happy with theirs. I think they both have...
Michael, If you don't get any specific responses, my suggestion for your anchor question is go to the Practical Sailor website - www.Practical-Sailor.com ...
I have not tried to fit a Rocna, but the Manson 35, which is very close in shape/size to the Rocna, did not fit well on our bowsprit/roller. I'm pretty...
Donald, The test indicate a average hold of over 5000pounds on the ronca while the cqr was lucky to get 400.  I have 4 different test I researched it...
I have a small drip at the bottom of the V drive. Feels and smells like a bit of oil too. I have yet to do more than feel around and will likely have a good...
I'm not sure how useful it would be to add all the anchors everyone has to the database. They would have to be added to the engine roster, as there is not...
