Yes of coarse I remember you well Gerard, you came with your brother in law if I'm not mistaken , I still have some photographs of the day. My wife and I still talk about the great holiday we had in the US and the harbour cruise we did on board Scout that day with all you guys. I would post them on ...

Yes Thanks Gerard you were on the money,I pulled out the fridge and found access to remove and replace blower. Cheers Syd

Has anyone here had to replace their head/shower blower in the 1986 plus sportfish , and if so any tips on how to get to it? From what I can see the blower hose is connected to the underneath of the vanity and basin then follows to below the saloon floor and then behind my oven and top cooking burne...

Hi Frank, Good to hear from you ... yes we do drive on the left side of the road same as the UK.Did Bridget ever tell you why the english drive on the left side of the road? But that is not why I had the transom door installed on the port side. On the starboard side of my boat I have the swim ladder...

The Aussie Dollar is now about equal to the American...

The construction of the door is very important and if it is done right I dont't believe there would b...

Hi Myles, If I can help in any way my E-mail is, meyer@iinet.net.au Regards Syd

Thanks for the reply Sean , Yes I thought I had it right but its nice to have you confirm it, just to be sure. As Bill said after some 20 years its a good idea to change the plastic fitting as well , should smell like a bed of roses when its all done. Hows the rest of your refit going .....? your en...

Hi Guys I am presently replacing all of my toilet plumbing hoses 1 1/2inch white hoses with a more thicker guage commercial type as I read here on a recent post, which I thought was a excellent idea. I believe my hoses and the system set up are still the orginals on my 88 sport fisher. E.G 11/2 inch...
