Re: Fuel fill F30
I anticipated a similar problem, and this is what I came up with: Fuel fill idea . After three years, the system is still working great, and probably one of the best upgrades I've thought of myself. When at the fuel dock, I still fill the tank through the deck plate like normal, but it's good to kno...

Re: Camber spar
Hi there Mike. I have my first Freedom, a Pedrick 35. You mentioned the topping lift RE shortening. Can you provide some insight into the correct height for the clew on the jib. Thanks My $0.02: make it long enough to just keep the spar off the deck when the sail is down, but short enough to not ge...

Re: Mast hole :: re-wiring
Two holes is plenty. You don’t want your mast looking like Swiss cheese, especially towards the bottom. Just use the empty hole for additional wires.

Re: Freedom 36 Sloop propeller
If anyone is interested in a discounted Maxprop, PYI sells refurbished ones that are "good as new," all shined up like the above picture. They have a bunch of parts from used props at their shop and can cobble one together for you, depending on the size you need. The one I bought started life as a 1...

Re: mast wedge help
Here’s the bracket on my last boat, which was built in 1986, hull number 25. One of the previous owners had the top hat retrofitted so it had a channel in it for the bolt, but for some reason they never actually fitted a bolt (nor drilled the holes in the mast for it).

Re: mast wedge help
I'm of the mind that the small hat top fitting at the keel and the wooden wedges on deck aren't the best way to hold this mast in place, and I'd like to be much more confident that my mast will stay in place during heavy weather. I wonder if anyone has come up with alternatives or supplements, perh...

Re: Marelon Valve Replacement
I'd say go with a new Marelon seacock. Groco makes great stuff, but it's nice not having to worry about bonding/electrolysis for something so critical. I wouldn't try rebuilding the seacock. It may be totally fine, but it also may be totally beyond fixing, and you won't know until you launch. I have...
