I have found that the factory installed winlass had 3M 5200 on the thru-bolts and both halves of the Lewmar winlass. What do you suggest to remove the winlass for repair??

I was working on the dock at the GAM, or I would have talked to you there.

Glad you liked the book! Rub the bottom paint with a wet rag. If the paint rubs off on the rag, you have soft bottom paint. If nothing comes off, it's hard paint. I'm headed to the SSCA Gam in Annapolis, so I'll be off line for a couple of days. Let me know what you find and if I can help weith anything else!

Take care!

I'm a newby to boating and have an older 28' Carver. Plan to do some blister work this winter and repaint bottom. Read your great book "Mainiaining and Improving ....", but how can I tell if the existing bottom paint is hard or soft paint???

Just read your article online from Mad Mariner "Diesel-Electric Propultion". Am looking at a Lagoon410 with same system. Sales person sayes it produces the same propultion as (2) 40HP diesel engines. The generator is a 17Kw. At 750 watts per Hp, that would equate to 22.67 Hp. Can you recommend any reading that might enlighten me as to how a 22Hp generator produces the same power as (2) 40Hp engines. Thanks - Bob

Hello
I recently came across your site through my new affiliation with Columbia-Yachts. I recently purchased a Columbia T-26 and I don't understand alot about it. I was very young when my Father sailed a boat of this size and I never bothered to figure out things like how the alcohol stove works, the toilet works,or even how to hook up the electrical system ... and what battery to buy.
Could you advise me on a resource that could help me figure these things out? I do not have access to other sailors or marinas.
Thanks
Pete
