No, I redid the cabin front windows

I used a garden sprayer and saturated the fur and left it on and let it dry with the hatches and windows open. The smell dissipates. I used a scented bleach - spring blossom or some such thing, definately smelled better than mildew and pogies. I think the bleach residue helps control the regrowth.

89 Sailfish Same problem, leaky cabin front windows-> mildewy monkey fur. started to pullout the monkey fur intending to just paint the ceiling and walls with a high gloss- way too difficult, lots of glue and the result was a very nasty surface left behind that was not paintable. Solution...

wood cleaner Oxalic (sp?) acid, it's the active ingrediaent in On/Off but you can get it at Lowes etc. for $15/gal. Make sure you wet any metal it may come in contact with and wash down if you spill.

I love how we in our area consider 4-5's "chop". I have an 89 252g and our maden voyage was in 4-5's on Buzzards Bay with mom (grammy) aboard. It was wet but we were never concerned about its seaworthiness.

tarp and frame for me i used heavy tarps laid over a frame made of 2" pvc piping last winter and it worked great. I left it open with overhang bow and stern so there was plenty of airflow - no mold. I had lots of winter projects so i made the frame tall so it was easy to work inside. The PVC...

thanks, I should have been more thorough the leak is from the area where the braket meets the hull. I've replaced the drain plugs, resealed the inspection ports and skim coated the bracket with epoxy and microballoons (for cosmetics - there were no holes just pock marks). My concern was...

The aluminum / hollow braket is taking on water. Is the fix simply to remove the old caulk and recaulk around the outer edge or do I have to remove the engines / braket and install a gasket? '89 252 g Thanks.

Wood cleaner -oxalic acid West sells it as "on n off" but you can get it at the hardware store as wood or deck cleaner. Look for the stuff that is oxalic acid. Don't get it on your aluminum.

both boxes fit both boxes fit on the shelf the outboard one is butted against the scupper drain hose and the inboard one is butted against the triangular support that is at the end of the shelf. I'm running a 1989 Sailfish. 252g
