    New Hat order??

    Seems like we will never get to 50. I would be willing to pay a bit more if we had to get a smaller order..

    I heard acetone is the preferred wipe-down for teak before gluing. Would assume it works as well for painting...

    X-ray vision?

    Machine screws and washers/nuts. The nuts spun as soon as I tried to loosen the screws so I had to drill the heads out. I rotated the pedestal about 20 degrees and reinstalled with wood screws. Seems plenty strong although I may change to togglers if I decide stick with the pedestal long term.

    X-ray vision?

    So I clawed out a fair amount of the foam via the rod box. Except for maybe a 1/4 cup of wet foam (by an inside crack under the damaged strake) it was dry. I cut a hole under the helm pedestal and it was dry too. Can't think of any other phantom weights so I'm gonna try moving the batteries...

    X-ray vision?

    Ok, rainy day so I decided to poke around. I probed the foam in the three compartments on the stbd side and all I could really get at was the stuff down to the chine. It all seemed fine. There was very slight moisture at the bottom of the foam in the forward most compartment (forward of the...

    X-ray vision?

    Excellent suggestion! There is no hole under the pedestal but there soon will be. Do you think the moisture in wet foam will migrate? I hadn't considered that.

    X-ray vision?

    The list is there both at rest and while running. It is such that the port chine is at water level and the stbd chine is maybe 3.5" to 4" under water. If I sit on the port hatch I can get it to a little less than level. The deck drains are mounted at the same height on each side of the hull but...

    X-ray vision?

    Ok, so here is a mini update. Thank you for all of your insightful comments.. The area marked "C" in the photo is wide open - no foam. There is indeed a bulkhead aft of the tank and a full height stringer between (at least) "B" and "C". Nearest I can tell, there is about 4" between the deck...

    X-ray vision?

    Thanks guys. Sad to hear that the stringers are full height. I doubt that I will be able to do much foam removal from just the rod box access. Pretty good idea K - I thought about cutting access under the port livewell but for tackle/storage, not battery balancing. I kind of like using the...

    X-ray vision?

    Hi All, I have a fair sized list to starboard on my '89 cuddy. I bought it last year and the list was there when I bought it. I assumed that it was due to the batteries that are in the starboard locker by the transom but having moved my 200 pound a$$ back and forth I'm not so sure there isn't...

    tractor seat base = suspension = happier back!

    Ok the seat came and I installed it. Will try it on the water tomorrow. So far looks good. I bent the arms in a bit and its actually more compact than my old one and swivels no problem. The pedestal is at its max height in the pics and my line of vision above the windshield falls half way...

    tractor seat base = suspension = happier back!

    Great. This is looking really good. Thanks for the Arima thread. I just ordered a blue one from L&M and will try and install it on my adjustable swivel pedestal. Updates to come and thanks !

    tractor seat base = suspension = happier back!

    I'm really liking that. I hate my current seat. Despite the looks, do you think that the tractor seat that came with it would work decent on the boat? It looks like it comes both armless seats and with arms on the mfg's website but the one with arms is all I can find for sale..

    tractor seat base = suspension = happier back!

    That's a great idea. Where do your feet land when using it? Flat on the deck? Toes only?
