PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Well, I still have the original jib and main sheets on the boat, and I've put off changing them as long as possible but it is time. :roll: I'm not sure every boat came with the exact same running rigging, my jib sheet (original self tacking jib) is a little thicker than the main sheet. Main halyard ...

I installed a trough hull under the fridge. I'm going to raise the sill on the compartment just a few inches, which will bring it above the water line and make this into a bullheaded compartment, like that starboard bow. It is also an easy-access spot for the filter. It did add one hole, but I real...

This is hull #4 ... Year 1995, I believe. Port Elgin is on the Canadian shore of Lake Huron. Maybe someone will buy it and sail it to Chicago so Phenix and Anne Z will have a sister?

I will be glad to assist as well, PM sent.

Ah, yes, thanks. I thought he had some way to help deal with the chafing. Thanks, Sam I end up replacing my cables every few years, because of the raising and lowering of them so often. Most times, I have replaced them, I've used the coupling nut mentioned in Drew's blog - http://sail-delmarva.blog...

Trim. About 4 inches. Charging. Leave ALL barreries at alltimes. Why not? If they are really flat, whic should never happen, pull-start. Push-pull. The details are in the blog link. I recomend changing the cables while younare at it. Get coupling nuts tompullmthem through. PM me and I'll send you o...

Drew, I saw in your blog (http://sail-delmarva.blogspot.com/2012/08/new-engines.html) that you trimmed the wood shelf. Do you know how much to trim it? The picture shows it up to a ridge, but I do not have that ridge on my shelf. Also, I have only ordered one new engine, not two. My budget can't jus...

Here is the info on the unit itself, from Flagship marine in Stuart, FL. Flagship model: FMAC16R BTU: 16,500 Refrigerant: R417A Amps (compressor): 9.3, Evap-fan: 3.3, Heat: 18.9, Raw water pump: 2.5 I wired it to the panel, no issues. No, the thru-hull is not bulkheaded, it is near the center of the...

I have no idea how I missed this post up until now. I installed AC in Chicago-based Phenix PDQ 32 hull #7 in 2000, a year after I bought it. What caused me to do this was a weeklong trip to Michigan in late-August where the daytime high was always in the 90s, sometimes 100! I looked at many options ...

Well maintained boat, good luck!

I've wanted to do this since I saw the original post. Your new picture has given me motivation.

What do you use for sheets on the genoa? It looks like it is about a 135%?

I am very sorry to hear about your boat.

How was this determination made? A request on their part or your part? An order on their part ?

Thanks guys. I'll check out Home Depot and see what I can find. It would be great NOT to put in a new shower, as the current enclosure is sealed well. But the lack of a cover is unsightly. As for access to the area behind, I had my wife (she's small) crawl in there a few years ago and tighten a hose...

Very helpful, thank you. Would you happen to have the mainsail and jib measurements (MGT,MGU,MGM of mainsail and midgirth of jib) that you submitted with your application, just so I can compare it to mine and know what I might expect?

Phenix (32007) has the original factory-installed transom shower. It is a 1995-made Whale - Swim 'n' Rinse Deck / Transom Shower The cover has cracked and come off (it was the one held on by a string, not a hinge) and I can't find a replacement for the cover. And the nozzle is wonky and needs replac...
