Ports & Hatches / Re: Lexan Cabin hatch crack

« on: May 23, 2020, 09:18:58 AM »

  We had ours crack twice, probably from charter folks standing on it to deal with the mainsail.  For replacement contact Mark Plastic in Corona CA  92879.  Last I dealt with them they had no email, phone # 951 735 7705.  Measure what you have precisely--one size does not fir all.

Plumbing and Galley Systems / Replacing a water heater

« on: August 01, 2019, 01:09:34 PM »

  Good day, folks.  We own an '87 P 28-2 and as far as we know the water heater is original.  The outside is starting to rust significantly and it's installed in such a way that the make/model are buried, tho it's cylindrical (might narrow the list?).  Here's the hook:  The thing measures 16" tall with a diameter of an honest 14".  The lazarette is an honest 13 3/4" so how'd the get the thing in there (just curious) and how do we get it out?  Will gratefully accept advise on this AND a decent replacement in the 5 gallon range.  The unit itself seems to work okay but looks gnarly--not so acceptable on a charter boat.
