PDQ OWNERS FORUM

We live in the Smith Point area and are planning mini cruise for July. Is there a backdoor entrance to St Michaels? We can see the potential of getting there via San Domingo Creek and walking into town that way. We just don’t want to waste time going all the way up to the Miles River to get t there....

Some PDQ 34 and 41s might all ready know of this organization, but we sailors may have overlooked it. We have several friends who are members of the Marine Trawler Owner Association (MTOA) who encouraged us to join it. We did as we are turtles most of the time too.

Not desiring something protruding through the deck as tripping hazard, I opted for a seasonally removable solution. Using the existing opening window as a pattern, I cut a ¼ inch piece of Lexa...

Our door too was getting hard to slide. Most of the screws were inaccessible behind the battery box rim and could not be removed. So I slid the door halfway open drilled a half inch hole in the channel in a spot where the two rollers could be accessed. One was jammed with dog hair and lint. I cleane...
