Can someone help with a Manufacturer and model number for a replacement freezer for  the OEM Sub Zero freezer.
The challenge seems to be finding something 15" wide to fit in the original hole.
 Sub- Zero no longer makes this model and after 3 hours on the internet cannot find a 15" wide freezer anywhere!!
Thank You!!

I recently finished up a few late fall haul out projects. I did the usual bottom paint job, serviced the props, replaced all the zincs, and installed a new 5” black vinyl boot stripe over the chalky factory one in the gel coat. The yard was pretty quiet in late November so I decided to finally proceed with the repair of a soft spot in my swim platform that’s been bugging me for a few years now. 

I’ve had plenty of time to research the different repair options but ended up following the advice of my fiberglass guy and decided to do the repair from the top. The soft area was directly forward of the swim ladder. Probably caused by water infiltration from the hinge screws of the boarding ladder cover. Originally we were going to try to remove the core and retain the inside layer of fiberglass, but it proved to be too thin during the removal process. We ended up removing all of it, giving us a great view of the construction inside. It was surprising how heavy the squishy core was from being so waterlogged. There was still a bit of soft core around some of the edges so we dug it all out until we reached solid material. That area was then filled and a new fiberglass ledger was secured around the perimeter. A new plywood core was then wrapped in fiberglass cloth and resin and plugged into place. The layup process followed and a few days later we were ready to do the non-skid. I’ve never liked the factory nonskid from 1995, so opted to grind down the entire deck and apply Awlgrip Griptex. I’m a big fan of this product and used it when I did a much more extensive repair on the bow which I also posted a few years ago. Someday, I would love to do the entire boat. The color used is Oyster White, which is nearly identical to the Tiara gelcoat from 1995. Here’s a few pictures from the process. The deck is as solid as a rock now.... I'm really happy how it all turned out.

Does anyone know how to remove the access panel on the port dash of the 43 open so that I can fix the sliding hatch door. The screws have vibrated out.

Hi, I am getting a custom mattress made for the V berth in the 1989 33' Tiara Open.  Does anyone have any recommendations for sheets?  Do I just use Twin sheets and make it work, or are there options for the model?  Thanks!

Does anyone know of an available synchronizer for Cummins 6BTAs? If not, I may be interested in designing one. If I do, would anyone be interested in it?

Just purchased her in October. Looking forward to many years of boating and fishing on the east coast and maybe haul to Panama City in the winters. 

Hi everyone! I am a new owner of a 2001 5200 Express and was looking to add a freshwater filtration system to the boat during the winter. Does anyone have a freshwater system diagram of this boat they could send me? I cannot seem to find one. Thank you in advanced.

Greetings,

I have a 2004 4200 Open and have discolored water dripping through the ceiling panel. There are signs the seal in the hatch is leaking, but I'm having difficulty removing the ceiling board to fully ascertain the damage and to dry out the ceiling boards/replace vinyl. It seems the screen/sunshade must be removed first because it prevents removal, but there are no visible fasteners or method recognizable. My only thoughts are the hatch assembly has to be removed first. 

I wanted to see if anyone has any experience and best way to remove the panel. I'd like to think the ceiling board could be removed without removing the hatch. Also, I assume BOMAR is the best option to get new seals.

Best regards and thanks!

I recently converted from the actuator lift to a hinge lift system.  Actuator worked when removed and is no longer needed.  These are not the easiest to find, not cheap and can take 6-months to a year to get.  Would be a very nice backup if yours ever fails.  
$250 plus shipping.
Thanks,

We have a 2004 Tiara 3200 Open.  After heavy rain the forward bilge has quite a bit of water.  Due to the V of the hull at that point, the bilge pump leaves several gallons unpumped.  I'm talking about the forward bilge -- below the companionway steps.  Engine room and aft bilge stay relatively dry.

Anyone else with this issue and an idea where the water is coming in?  I taped off the chain locker hatch before the last rain and still got water in the bilge.  No signs of leakage anywhere in the interior.

Thanks in advance for any clues.
