Re: greasing syntron shaft seal
I just wanted to report that I have just finished the first season with a new Tides Marine seal, purchased through Paul Dennis, along with a new shaft and coupling with excellent results; no leaks at all. The old Syntron was leaking badly. If anyone needs any information let me know. Jorge Schneider...

Re: F30 spinnaker pole to sleeve connection
I have a "button" that pushes in and locks the pole on to the sleeve. It is exactly at the midpoint of the pole.

Re: stuffing box
I just wanted to give an update to my shaft seal project. Now that the season is winding down, I am glad to report that the Tides Marine seal worked perfectly all summer...I even stopped checking it every single time that I use the boat! If anyone has any questions about any part of the project plea...

Re: Prop Shaft Strut Question for Freedom 32 (Hoyt)
I just replaced the strut on my 1987 F30. It failed when the mechanics tried to take the cutless bearing out. It split due to electrolysis. First we had to remove the fiberglass covering the bolts from the outside. Then we found the nuts under the fuel tank, which we had to remove. The nuts were als...

Re: Steping the mast on an F30
I did not see the yard install the mast on my 1987 F30, but I never had anything hanging out from anywhere. They did say that it was a very difficult job.

Re: stuffing box
Finally, Weeble is now at its mooring ready for another season. The final bill was a bit over 3k, but with a new shaft, coupling, strut, cutless bearing and shaft seal what do you expect? Everything seems to be in order, but I still get a few drops of water after about one hour of motoring. Is this ...

Re: Strut for F30
To make a long story short, I sent the broken strut from my F30 to WarrenRiver Boatworks and Paul Denis had a new strut cast for me. It took about three weeks for the whole process. The new strut looked great, and Paul Denis kept my old strut to use as a mold for future requests for a strut for a F3...

Re: stuffing box
Well folks, it is now almost summer and I am still not in the water. I just needed to change the shaft seal...well, as I stated before, in order to remove the shaft, the yard mechanics had to cut the shaft. Now, in order to remove the shaft, they had to remove the cutless bearing from the strut. In ...

Re: Strut for F30
Too bad. Do you know where I could get a strut for a F30?
