My gals a 1968. The last (non-seamen) owner never took care of her. I have a temp gage which I fixed, oil pressure gage, and amp. Her radio won't send, Knot meter don't work, Depth sounder don't work, pump in the galley don't pump.
She's not ready for sea, or even the Bay. I figure January 2012.
After all the help I got from you guys, her A4 is alive and well. The rest is pure fun work.
I'm the old type sailor...no GPS, they have gone astray to often. I like sexton, stars, and weather. Whatever is aboard, I must be able to fix at sea. If not it has no place on my boat. After I fix my seacocks, I'll post pictures. I always have a FG box molded over a seacock. If it bust lose at sea, water stays in the box.
I'm going to mount a generator I can lower to kiss the shaft, so when under sail I can put the gear in forward to move the generator for light power. Somewhat like they use on bikes, just a little larger.
