You could try this guyHe did a small job for me recently . I was happy with the price and to my eye it was fine but I haven’t had stainless work done before so nothing to compare it to. He’s based in north county Dublin and has a workshop at home. He has a boat himself so when I was describing...

No , it was Tom Leonard Marine in Fermanagh . Tom made the new platform he then did a template of that and the steps and sent them off to flexiteek who made up the panels . Thanks , I'll order some and give it a try

We got the scrubbed flexiteek on a new extended platform on our Broom 35 and it looks good. It was done 4 years ago now ,the picture is from when it was new . The only issue with it is that after the winter if the stern is in a shaded spot and we get green growth on it it can be hard to get the...

Broom 35cl

Looking for some advice on changing the coolant in my Yanmars as I have never done this before . The existing coolant is there over 10 years and is the old green colored one and I was going to change to the newer pink yanmar coolant . The last owner did his own servicing and I've no record of...

Similar to the OP , i checked my sea-fire gauge just before Christmas ,the needle had moved close to but not onto the red zone. As it is 15 years old i thought that i would get it serviced and i contacted my local seafire agent,I'm not in the UK so i can't go direct to seafire . They told me...

You could try this company , Oceanic Systems (UK) Ltd | World Class Systems for World Class Yachts I found them very good to deal with . Have they threaded pressure sensors inc vacuum General Purpose 4-20mA Pressure Sensors | Oceanic Systems (UK) Ltd and an adapter to convert to n2k Pressure...

What about one of these Broom 35cl Broom 35cl Unnamed - for sale One is way over budget but the other one may be possible. 2 or 3 came up in the last year and asking prices where between 110 and 120 k so with a bit of haggling you never know . We only went with the aft cabin if we could have...

Just came across this thead .I was in a very similar positon last year with almost the same critera . I have mobility issues and our last boat was a sealine s28 .We went for the sports cruiser style of boat for ease of access for me. We took a break from boats for about 9 years and started...

I just bought a 35cl , got it last Friday and she has the largest engine option ,twin 170 yanmars . We had looked at the 38 as well but felt it was just a little to big , the 35 gives nearly as much space minus the lower dinette and has much easier access with the moulded steps at the stern ...

Re: Princess 35 *there was a P35 refitted with pair of KAD 300 once for sale in Europe. How about a pair of Kamd 43 http://www.jpyacht.dk/oneboat.aspx?id=3046

Absolutely, she is actually a 1992 boat repowered in 2001 and still with the original owner who seems to have really looked after it . So I’m going for a look and as it’s a 2 day trip to see it I want to make sure I ask the right questions and be sure of the engines . If I do make an offer on...

It is on shafts , don’t know which gearbox yet , have been told it’s hydraulic though. Engines and engine room look spotless , how would I tell if there was or is any leaks , would it be obvious?

Hi , looking at a boat this week with twin 2001 kamd 43 and from what I have found on the forum they seem quite reliable, possibly some head gasket issues but they don’t seem to have the valve concerns of the 42 or the 44 . So I am just wondering is there anything I should be looking out for ...
