I had forgotten. You oughta join the CS mailing list. Lots of good
information sharing. Whatever you need to do, chances are somebody else on
the list has done it on the same boat. It was most helpful when I had to
replace the sealing on my ports the year I bought the boat.

You're probably right, but I'm a mighty independent cuss, not to mention
arrogant; seems I usually think that I can figure out how do something
myself without demeaning myself by asking for advice. This is sometimes
a mistake.

I replaced my portlights the first year I had the boat, without advice,
used new acrylite.

I assume the CS mailing list is a Yahoo group?

Cheers
Marty

One of the members of the list sent me detailed instructions, including
diagrams, showing how to install the rubber "gasket" material that holds the
plastic against the butyl gasket. Most helpful.

While this butyl gasketing is still available, it's 40 year old
technology, I think that there are better solutions today.

The archives are on Yahoo. You can take a look at

Thanks Dave, I'll check it out.

The same could just as easily be said for the 200+ year old Constitution!



Or the 2,000 year old Bible, or the 500,000 year old homo sapien gene pool.

Why not just move to a better place?
