Paul

Were you able to sort this out?

I am having the same issue. I suspect it is a spring kit.

Removing aft toilet on 40/40

Folks

I am replacing the head with a composting toilet.

The bolts holding down the existing toilet seem to be carridge bolts with nuts under the liner. Any ideas on how to get to them? I have looked under sink and nav stand and behind head.

Thanks - John

F40/40 water tank gauge

Folks,

I can not find a tank gauge on my water tank. There is no sender that I can see on the top of the tank.

Am I missing something?

Any suggestions on a gauge? I am looking for something simple like what is on the fuel tank.

Thanks- John

Re: Fresh Water Head and Effect on Calcification?

Composting toilets are the way to go. Best thing to hit boating since fiberglass. I had a very stinky F28CK. Took out the holding tank and pipes. Replaced with natures head toilet. http://www.natureshead.net/ I did not get around to hooking up the vent last summer. I was on board last week after it ...

Re: Shower sump on a Freedom 28 Cat Ketch 1979 vintage

That is how my F28CK did it. Straight into the bilge. I had folks take showers on deck and pass the shower hose out the window.

When I go up the mast, I use a halyard to the bosun's chair and a piece of webbing wrapped around the mast attached to my harness. The webbing is wrapped several times aroun...
