I would recommend a book by Peggy Hall, "The HeadMistress" called "Get Rid of Boat Odors". It goes over all of the info mentioned above and a lot more.

Well I can't believe it's been over a year since my last update. my only excuse is I had basically gotten fed up with the old forum software and just kind of gave up. I only recently discovered that it had been updated/replaced. This new software seems to be much better behaved.
Anyway, on to...
Hi Kevin, Going well. If slower than I'd like. I haven't updated my rehab thread in oh Geez, a year. I got so fed up with the old forum software that I kind of gave up. I only just recently realized it had been updated. The new software seems very well behaved. So I'll be updating my thread...
Update time again!
Not really that much to report. Haven't put any varnish or anything on the actual boat yet. Still doing some stripping and sanding when circumstances allow. Don't have power back to the boat house yet. They're getting close, they've gotten the dock mostly re-decked. They...
Ok, so I got the rest of my supplies. I also got some Smiths CPES as well. I think I might use that on the toe rail and the rub rail. Some parts of those pieces have some checking in them. Definitely not going to use it on the whole thing. That stuff's expensive! So, ready to rock & roll all...
Lol! maybe! Tell me does this happen to you too? You research something for a while. Example; Origo two burner recessed alcohol stove,
Because it seems like the perfect solution. And then when the time comes to pull the trigger........Poof! Gone! Discontinued! NLA! Or you research wood...
Thanks Curt. I tried it again and I get this screen;
Same thing. As I recall my screen name in the "shop" section turned orange at about the same time this all started but I can't be sure. It may have been before but never noticed. I've checked throughout my profile and can't find anything that...
So has anyone else been able to order anything from iBoats lately or is it just me? If I try to add something to my shopping cart it says "Some items are not in stock" But nothing ever shows up in the little icon in the upper right corner. It always says zero. And If I click on the shopping cart...
On to more cosmetic stuff! We got the combings and the aft railing off.
And the outside the cockpit areas of the boat mostly
stripped of old varnished and partly sanded.
The wood seems to be evening out pretty well all things considered. My plan is once it's sanded out reasonably well (I...
IT'S ALIVE!
We got it fired up Saturday. As usual forgot to take any video or pictures of the shake down cruise. It ran great. sounds great. No leaks. We connected a manual pressure gauge to one of the manifolds to see what the pressure was.. My plan was to put a water pressure gauge in the...
Greetings all. Been working on the dash mostly this weekend. My partner in crime is out with the flu. I got the tachometer cleaned up and lubed. It cleaned up better than I expected.
I got the multi function gauge disassembled. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I got some of that red tail...
Interesting, do you mean the nylon timing gears? Well that makes as much sense as anything. I'm sure less noise was a factor too but with the many nylon or fiber gears I've replaced with iron over the years I've never noticed a change in the sound.
We got the engine back in today. We just set...
Long overdue update time. Sorry. Ok so I got the new gear and it came with Allen head bolts, whose heads were actually slightly larger than the original ones I had. 1/4" Allen vs. 7/32" and slightly larger diameter so I had high hopes. But no dice. It felt exactly as before. With the bolt heads...
Ok, I got the gear ordered last week. Hopefully it will arrive next week sometime. I found a washer that will work. It's too big around but I should be able to grind it down to size. And then I can drill the holes in it.
On an unrelated note, early on I found the serial number plate on a shelf...
