They are still out there. They now charge $375 for a five year renewal. Don’t be scammed.

I disassembled the 1 1/2 inch seacock under the galley sink to do some maintenance to the sink plumbing. I installed new gaskets, lubed and reinstalled the valve. I filled the galley sink with water and searched for leaks after leaving it “under pressure” over night.This was my pressure test for the...

I changed the damper plate 2 yes ago.

I’m getting a good deal of vibration up to 1100 rpm. I’m going to calibrate the tack and recheck the motor mounts for integrity first, but I might have to replace the motor mounts. I have about 1800 hours on the engine (hull 158). I’m looking for the manufacturer of the original motor mounts. Does a...

Has anyone looked into a propane, AC and DC powered refrigerator? I just chatted with a fellow sailboat owner who also has an RV with this type refrigerator. Is the only problem safety? Could those issues be mitigated? Any thoughts from the 350 crowd? Leigh?

I have hull 158 with a Universal M35B engine. I normally motor at 2400 rpm and average .6 to .7 gal/hour.

Mine is falling apart especially the corners. Please forward a price. Are all the cut outs included?

Both my freezer and refrigerator top hatch doors are slightly warped. They do not seal properly. I would like to try to straighten the doors. Has anyone else seen their top hatched warp? Were you able to straighten them by clamping them to a straight edge? Any thoughts. The refrigerator door is abou...

Ken That is the part number I have on the engine and as a spare. My only concern is that the seal seats correctly on the base. If it does and there is no fuel leak when the engine is started, I would be comfortable. I just checked my fuel filter. It is slightly smaller than the base. It sits below t...

Welcome aboard. You should enjoy the boat. It's a great boat for the Chesapeake Bay. We have owned hull number 158 since 2006. Air Mobility is kept at Osprey Point Marina along with one other 350. I believe there are several others in the area. This website is a great resource for technical informat...

I just got finished making some temporary repairs to the battery box. My wife and I have been out for almost a week now and had to spend a day in Oxford,Md to recharge the batteries and dry out. I was about to check the battery electrolyte level when I noticed the one of my four golf cart batteries ...

I replaced my original equipment head with a Raritan Sea Era electric head. I placed a T in the cold water feed from under the head sink to the newly installed Raritan. I placed a solenoid valve after the T to activate the water to the head. I mounted 2 push buttons above the head. One button allows...

I installed the Garhauer cars 2 years ago. They go on the existing tracks, no problems. They should be installed from the bow end of the tracks. They are particularly useful when reefing the genoa. When the winds are up, over 15-20, I do not like leaving the cockpit to move the cars. I would buy the...

When I replaced my galley faucet, I had to disassemble it from the top down. I tried to work from below the sink but was unable to get any tool to fit into that space. I tried to remove the sink, but that also proved impossible.(for me) I was finally able to remove enough of the faucet to drop it th...

I installed an Evolution 200 Sail autopilot this spring in hull 158. I replaced a Raymarine ST5000+. I reused the linear actuator and rudder transducer. I integrated ST 60 depth, wind and speed instruments. I also intigated an old Standard Horizon CP 180 GPS. The installation was straight forward an...

Anybody have a source for the cockpit table pictured in this string?

I just installed a set a couple of weeks ago. The install was fairly easy. The instructions call for clamping the doors together prior to drilling the doors to accept the hinge screws. I used tape to hold the doors together since I did not have a clamp at the boat. Once the doors were taped together...

I also bought a set at the boat show last month. Still have not installed them. If you can post some pictures showing the final height and the placement laterally I would appreciate it. I am reluctant to drill the holes.

I had mast head work done this spring and then moved my 350 to Osprey Point Marina in Rock Hall, Md. After the move to this new marina, a week went by before my wife and I got back down to start a one week cruise around the bay. When we raised the sails for the first time we noticed the wind instrum...

I cancelled a one week cruise late in June because I noted a pegged out engine temp gauge 15 minutes after leaving the slip in Rock Hall. I later realized I had heard no aural alarm with the gauge reading high. I shut the engine done, raised the genoa and checked a few obvious things(engine raw wate...
