I set my single channel Xantrex up to monitor house. I watch start with the analog meter but there's not much to watch, a normal start cycle would only suck up an amp hour or two. Th start is isolated from house and would only be connected to house in emergency. I have not had to do this in the 7 ye...

Thanks for that kiwigrip pointer. I had seen this stuff before but only gave it a glancing look because I really had the deck low on my to do list. I spent some time on the Kiwigrip site and read a bunch of reviews elsewhere. it looks like the ideal DYI solution. I particularly like the water base c...

Mine a Beckson for sure. I have replaced screens, gaskets and windows several times now and have used beckson for supplies. My three deckhatches are Bomar.

I have a topclimber which works well once you have things figured out. However, my F 30 only has the single main halyard. I have ascended on the single halyard in the past but I recognize there is a risk not having a safety. Given we have a tapered mast with only one obstruction (lazy jacks and jib ...

Having trouble uploading this final part, hopefully this post will do it

I received this years ago from a source at Freedom Yachts. A complete BOM for an F30.

Some pages are were very poorly copied in the original. You can make out most of it with some dorking around with contrast and brightness in PDF tools.
