Re: Cabin modifications

I noticed your topside does not contain any pinstriping like mine. I would like to fix mine. Paint or buy a pinstripe?

Re: C26 depth gauge replacement

Thanks for the reply. I will try cleaning the lens. The transducer has been mounted in the forward hull center (not a good idea) from previous owner. Depth numbers are not consistent, random at best. If I can somehow release the transducer (heat gun?) I might try a new position shooting through the ...

C26 depth gauge replacement

Original SR Instruments. Going with HawkEye DT 1B. Thinking a transom mount would be best. Any thoughts on your own experience?
Would plug the large hole with teak wood and cut a 2" hole for new gauge.

Re: C26 May have found the leak

Well I found out the leak is not fixed! Yesterday I checked the boat in it's slip and ran the bilge manually. Surprised it pushed out water for about 20 seconds before it began to sputter.

Re: C26 May have found the leak

Thanks for the replies. It hasn't leaked at all since the bottom paint job and new caulking. The water would appear in the bilge and eventually spill over into the cabin area. Once there was several inches. I'll keep an eye on it.

C26 May have found the leak

I've been chasing an odd leak. May have found the source while painting the bottom. Old caulking around the swing keel brackets.
While the boat was out for paint I took time to correct the float switch in the bilge so any water in the future should be expelled properly.

New Member Intro

Hello Everybody!

Just joined forum to glean information on maintaining my Chrysler 26. I sail on Clearlake, the largest Natural Lake in California. I plan on hauling out the boat soon to inspect the swing keel and rudder assembly. Great information already found in this forum.
