I'm new to the forum
Thank you for all the amazing folks that have shared their knowledge, I have been lurking in the woodwork for a month slowly working through all of the issues on my late model A4. The boat is a Islander 28 that has been outside on the trailer for a very long time. Thank the gods that the speedo plug in the bilge was left out so the boat never had more than 3 inches of water. I have rebuilt the alternator, starter, carb, and fuel pump and gone completely through the ignition system. stuck valves are on the remaining task list but giving it the atf/acetone treatment and patience before pulling the head.
I'm retired from Southern California and looking forward to ending my sailing hiatus of 27 years. I grew up in San Pedro and have raced International Star class, and PHRF on a Hobie 33 and a Erickson 27. My wife and I are eager start cruising a bit in the San Juans on the Islander.
I am lucky enough the have the boat inside heated space so it is a perfect winter project.
Thanks again for the forum
