I just purchased your butyl tape. It's great stuff. I'll start rebedding hardware soon.

Please comment on the use of butyl tape for sealing portlights. My portlights use silicon and SS fasteners, but alas the silicon barely lasts a season before the leaks return.

Any thoughts? thanks!!!

Just purchased some Schaefer rope clutches through ebay for my slab reefing project on my Newport 28 and the seller (in Alaska) directed me to your site. Opened a whole new leap forward for me on how to do things right. Thanks so much.

Buying Butyl tape today. One question.....When I am bedding the handrails, the screw moves not the nut. The nuts are fixed in place underneath. Will the tape still work effectively?

In your post about marine battery SHUNTS that we should contact you for prices on the dual battery bank shunt and monitor. I would like to install a shunt for my house bank of 4 x 6Vdc Lifeline AGM deep cycle batteries in parallel that I intend to combine as Bank A.
What I wonder is whether I should install a two bank shunt in oder to monitor the 1 x 12Vdc Lifeline starting battery.
Would you advise and/or send a price for that shunt, please.
Very concise reading with excellent accompanying photos.
You are providing a valuable service.
Thank you.

Good Folks;
Great site!!!
I need to cap off my 1978 Catalina 25 sink drain. It is a horrible sight as they used a standard plumbing valve. I plan to hack saw off the valve and seal the outlet. It is not a properly designed hull feedthru. What is the advise?
thanks;

What a great resource.
I just purchased after years of tire kicking a very nice 1985 CS 36 Traditional
and finding this resource online is just great timing.
She is in Toronto and hopefully ready to go for the 2012 season in a week or so.
Can't wait.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Jens

Wow! I just participated in your Battery webinar that I found very helpful and now I've found several projects on your site that I have to do. Great explanations. Scalable images, detailed instruction, it's all there. Thanks so much.

I'm just about to change my impeller - a first for me - and I really appreciate your pictures and narrative.
