Leaking port slider. What likely needs to be done to fix? I ran hose over roof simulating rain. The water sheets directly into window channel despite roof overhang.

I am considering replacing the ancient Sea Dog rocker switch panels on my 88 cruiser w 2 Blue Sea six switch panels. Do they mount on cabin side of dash in same manner?

Homer's late Renn Tolman and his Tolman skiff are both legendary for Alaska mariners. His DYI design is still being made by boaters in backyard shops throughout the State and beyond. This may be the most gorgeous example of a Tolman in existence. https://anchorage.craigslist.org/boa/d/ ...

Would appreciate assistance from anyone with experience with this 1988 Johnson kicker I still use. It seems to have a stuck throttle grip and I'm not having luck getting the assembly apart to inspect.

As I've posted previously, I've had an ongoing issue with rain water intrusion into cabin. Quite a lot. Anyway, I proceeded to 4200 every thru hull screw, bolt, etc in cabin as well as a loose fresh water vent. Also cleaned out all the window drains. It rained yesterday and so far not a drop in...

While doing maintenance on 49er, I removed the bilge drain plug and found it rusted and barely if at all functional - maybe why I was getting water in cockpit while under way. It's an expanding rubber and brass plug. Wondering if all of you use same or anything better?

I'm doing Spring maintenance on 49er and once again looking at installing a pump in transom sump area. And once again I am stumped by lack of space due to dual batteries in the space between fuel tanks. I suppose the only solution would be to relocate at least one battery to the Lazarette. Ideas?

I need to plug a few small drill holes above water line (cockpit). Was going to use marine-tex. Should I glass the backside of holes?
