Get some mean green cleaner.* Spray it on and the nicotine will run, use a sponge scrubby and *wipe off with clean rag.* If you have a stubborn spot use magic eraser.* You can find mean green at the family dollar store and magic eraser as well.* Just used it on wallpaper and it worked great.

Sorry Daddyo, I'm just an old swamp boy.* I'll try to do better on my spelling.

I have an old Mainship 34 and I also installed a hummingbird transducer centerline on the keel.* I used silicone to afix it to the hull.* I put a good amount on the puck and smoothed any air bubbles out and stuck it to the deck.* Its been there about six years and works fine.* My other depth...

FF, I'm interested.* Can you shoot me a email at* ptjones51@comcast.net* with a phone # so I can give you a call. Thanks, Tom

Hi John, I've got*a bilge drain plug on my '79 Mainship 34 MKll.**It's *located under the aft section of the engine and just forward of the tranny.* Has a T handle on it .* I believe a few of the older boats had them. Tom

Hi Neil, Shoot this guy an email.* I met him this summer and he has a lot of info on the 49 Defever's from all over.* He might know this boat or be able to find it thru his contacts. Captain Steven Koch Captstevendi@yahoo.com Good Luck Tom

I'm getting ready to paint from my decks up.* I'm thinking about Pettit Easy Poxy, one part polyurathane.* Has anyone used this, pros/cons.* I've heard and read here that the two part paints makes it hard to repair dings and scratches.* A friend of mine used a foam roller and a dry foam roller...

*As far as know its the stuff out of the ground.

From what he can gather from the design specs of the boat, it is a integral fiberglass tank.* The info that he has gathered is that the early Krogens had fiberglass tanks and they switched later to the black iron. Tom

A friend of mine has a 1980 42' Krogen and his port fuel tank appears to be leaking fuel.* It seems as if the fuel has possibly*permeated the tank as it not only*leaks around the bottom of the tank, but he can run a rag down the side of the tank when full and he gets a slight film of diesel.*...

I did some research on the Air Head toilet, which I believe as Peggy is very similar to the Nature's Head.* One of the biggest items that steered me away was the smell at the vent exhaust.* I was advised that your slip mates will not be happy when the breeze is going their way.* That being said...

I used Durabak also and when first applied it looked great.* Chuck you are absolutely right, I had the same results.* Now I have to figure out how to get the Durabak off and apply something else. Tom

Thanks for*the info.* I have forwarded all of the replys to my friend and I'm sure that he will find them very helpful. Tom

A friend is contemplating replacing his sight tubes on his tanks, as they are getting hard to see thru.* He has some clear pvc tube that is reinforced and his question is will the diesel break down the pvc?* Thanks for any help Tom
