Hi all We have an IG32 built in 1986, recently i had cause to rebuild the helm door to damage and subsequent rot. Seems I may have made a rookie mistake in my measurements in not checking if the door was rectangular or slight rhmboid. The new door was really nice except it didnt fit. Now i look...

Hi all. My 15 year old Xantrax seems to have given up the ghost. Looking at a replacement to charge three banks, House 2*200ah AGM (Lion), Engine Optima Blue Top 100Ah AGM and Generator Optima Blue Top 100ah AGM. Looked at the Enerdrive unit, very nice and have one if their DC/DC in my van and...

Hi all Seriously thinking of pulling up the old, worn and heavily delignated(?) teak decking and putting diwn the product from https://www.topteak.com.au/ RMYC Broken Bay has it installed in their tenders and it looks and feels really good. My main hesitation is I have no idea where to start...

Finally after three months of lockdown have been able to get down to the boat. Replaced the salt water pump (previous thread) and brought home the battery which was flat to recharge manually. Somehow the breaker on the switch panel had been turned off and charger wasn't running even though I was...

Hi all Some will recognise my adventures here learning to do my own maintenance as now retired and funds limited. NewAnchor rode all installed and working. Have finally sourced a new Saltwater pump for the generator from SeaMech in QLD, just need to modify the bracket as pulley on this one is...

HI all Am in the process of replacing the anchor rode, have a new 34m Graded 8mm chain, the original was 40 but 34m is the amount in one drum. The original rope section looks ok but it is the original and parts of it are quite stiff, concerned that it's breaking strain may be compromised after...

Hi all My old chain was mostly a block of rust as we hadnt used in years and to my embarassment I had ignored it:blush: I was unsure of size as first time dealing with anchor chain, was reliably inofrmed that it was 8mm short link and the Ideal 'manual' for the Windlass said says -- 1/4" or...

Hi all Long overdue but we are wanting to embark on a topside repaint of our IG32. Had been done (badly) by previous owner but we lived with it, however can no longer ignore the sate of the paintwork. I am going to have to do this myself and while it is too late in the summer here in Sydney to...

Hi all, been a long year with not much love for the boat dueto Covid. Getting things sorted now, just replaced all batteries as they were dead or near enough (they were all about 6 years old). Next is to replace the anchor chain, following from my previous post. Apart from Whitworths is there a...

Hi all The attached image is of the bracket at the top of the rudder in the lazarette. Obvioulsy needs some attention - either replace or clean and paint. Have cleaned and applied some rust kill as a temp measure. Would this be a part I could purchase or better/easier to get one fabricated? Also...

Hi all Mechaninc has advised me that I need to replace the Salt Water Pump and Mixing Elbow on the Yanmar Diesel on the generator. Can anyon in Sydmey Australia or anywhere in Australia I guess recommend a good supplier of parts? Dont ;ook like compleex jobs - apart from having to contort myself...

During Annual service machanics identified that two of the heat exchnagers were in a bad way, ultimatley neede replacing. The engine exchanger and gear cooler - one quoted at abour $350 the other at $2250. Does that sound right?

Two questions - should that be two threads? 1. Need to replace my abchor chain, totally rusted out in places as we never use it and I neglected it. :blush:. Curenttly around 40m chain and 20m rope make up the rode. The rope section is fine. Looking at rated chain but unsure if I really need 40m...

So am looking at putting a wash down pump in (salt water). Have a sea cock I can use, the defunct AC. Want to put the outlet on either port or starboard about midships forward of where the fuel tanks are, so need to put a hole through the deck with a suitable hole saw. Any surprises in stall for...

Are there still any IG owners on here? Seems a bit quiet. We have a 32' IG 1986. I believe it was made in China then originally sent to Florida and imported to Australia around the time of the GFC. It was named 'Mr Sea II' when we purchased, but who has a male boat? We renamed it to 'Monesk'...

Hi all Anyone know where I can find a flybridge windscreen for an IG32? I have the wooden brackets. Any condition, as if too badly scratched or discoloured can use as a template. I believe the previous owner removed it while painting, but did not replace and could not locate it when we aksed...

Thanks for adding us in. We have had our IG 32 for about 6 years and have it at RMYC Newport, Sydney. The boat seems to have been built and first sent to Florida and used as a fishing charter at some point. Brought into Australia by the previous owner who did some clean up work. When we...
