Re: Bertram 35 Fuel fill vent line?

I just changed my tank out on my ‘91 33 SF. The vent is in the same location as the fill and feeds. All visible from the cover. My vent was on the side of the hull just below the fill

Re: Bow lights

Bow lights

Hello ….

Has anyone swapped out the stock bow lights with LED’s. I am giving up on mine. Aside from availability, they are a royal pain in the stern.

Re: Happy Holiday

Happy new year to all as well.

This old salt still works on his own boat. Just finishing up a new fuel tank, which lead to new exhaust hose, bulkhead, and new bonding.

I had a minor fuel leak of about 3 oz a day. Lots of fun.

Hope to have it all buttoned up this week!

Re: Exhaust leak

Hi, I am in the process of changing my fiberglass tank. It had a small leak (diesel). With the cockpit floor removed, I am changing my exhaust hose as well. Mine is 6”. It was a converted gas boat.

Re: Breaking the ice

Hope is well. I have a SF, and don’t get in and out of engine compartments easier with age. I have a few bruises from doing maintenance this weekend.

Good luck to you …

Re: Fire Suppression

I just put a fireboy in my SF, as the ‘91 halon system was very corroded, to the point I thought it would burst. Still have to wire an electronic box that shuts off the engines if system is called on. Expensive but piece of mind.

Re: Where is everybody?

Hello all ....

I don't check in as much as I used to, but still around. Can't believe I have had mine for almost 20 years.

All the best to all
