Re: Electric head replacement

Thinking of installing a Sea Era Raritan Electric head in the awkward head space of the F38, assuming I can get it to fit! Any feedback on the reliability of the Sea Era? Anyone done an F38 electric refit?

Electric Head

Looking to install an electric head in my F38. Any recommendations on model type? I bought one last year but had to return it as it did not quite fit in the normal head space of an F38.

Anchor windless and anchor size

My F38 came with a 11kg Bruce anchor, which I think is too small. I am planning to upgrade to a 35lb CQR. Is this sufficient for general cruising in the Northeast? Also planning on installing a windless. Any recommendations for a clean fit on an F38?

Re: Freedom 36 Sloop propeller

I switched from a 2 blade prop to a three blade Kiwi prop with a diam of 16.5 inches and a 22 deg pitch. It looks small but does a great job in forward and reverse. Kiwi will size it for you if you give them the boat details.

Re: Rigid boom vang for an F38

Thank you for the advice. I am going with the Garhauer RV20 with a custom collar for the mast. Total cost $695 incl collar and shipping.

Rigid boom vang for an F38

I am installing a rigid boom vang on my F38. Any recommendations on type and any special installation issues ( bolt vs rivet, backing plate for mast, etc ) ?
