Sorry for your loss. We have a 1977 Rough Water 41 and ours is in the same place, port side deck just aft of the forward salon windows. The black water tank is amidships (between the engine bed stringers) forward of the engine in the engine room. If you have problems pumping it out, check to...

Roughwater 41 Bravo We also are sailors but spend time in the PNW on our 41' trawler. It's a Roughwater 41, single screw pilothouse with minimal sidedecks. Just the Admiral and I most of the time and we've had minimal issues docking and that's without a thruster. Lots of good advice given...

I agree with other posters that you should be able to find the o-rings yourself versus shipping them in from the UK. Of course, complicated by the fact you're in the USVI's. I'd pull the caps and micrometer the orings dims. If there's not an o-ring supplier in St. Thomas, must be one in Miami...

Congratulations on the new Tolly! We'll keep an eye out for Sandee in the anchorages of the San Juans!!

Lots of great advice, as always, on the forum. I've replaced aged mild steel diesel tanks that were locked in by the engine. Got in there with a sawzall, cut them out and used the pieces for templates for a stainless steel fabricator to make two slightly smaller tanks. Lot of personal labor...

Hi Earrame Wow, lots of response to your inquiry, that's great. We're considering selling our 1977 Roughwater 41, based in Anacortes, Wa inside on the hard. She's a single screw pilothouse that's been repowered with a Pekins 235hp turbo. All new electronics and the boat has been totally gone...

Our boat is in the PNW, stored indoors offseason but I still go through the hassle of draining all the F/W system. I've installed tees with caps on the leg of the tee to facilitate using compressed air to blow out all the lines. It's a pain in the butt to do the work but the tees have made the...

Rizlajon, Rich may be right in his assessment. Blowing up the photo is does look to have a zerk grease fitting. I thought it was a rusted hose clamp nut. I'm not familiar with this type of packing; best bet would be asking around your local boatyard to see if anyone is familiar with it and can...

Congratulations on your first boat. It is a standard packing gland, aka "stuffing box". Google "repacking a stuffing box" and you'll get a lot of hits on how to do it. Or better yet, do a search on the forum for it and there must be some past threads on doing the procedure.

New Roughwater 41 owner checking in Hello swabbies! Just purchased Voyager, a Roughwater 41 we'll keep in Anacortes for cruising the beautiful Pacific NW! The longtime owner (guy who loved his boat and took it to Alaska numerous times) I hope to meet one day to swap stories and learn all the...
