MPH-38. Can you answer this question?
Does anyone know the height - bottom of keel to top of pilot house - for a 38PH Sloop? I need to arrange shipping, and they're asking me for this. Thanks!

FYI: Had to replace a cracked plastic 90° elbow on the bottom of the starboard aft water tank on our Mariner 39

Earlier this year, I was putting a new gasket on the top of the starboards aft water tank (like I did for the aft holdign tank a few years ago), when I dropped a socket down the front that I could not reach from the front. We have an access hatch on the side and when I openned it, I noticed the plastic 90° elbow on the water was cracked. We replaced it with a metal 90° elbow and hose.  We had already replaced intake and vent hose.

Sailing Polar for Mariner 39

Does any one have or created a Sailing Polar for Mariner 39.  All major/real weather routing apps (i.e.,Luckgrib, Predict Wind, qtVLMm, etc.) need sailing and motoring polars to be more accurate.   I've been using a modified Valiant 40 (also tried Passport 40 but it's faster on numerous wind angles).  If so can you email me a copy (jashmun@gmail.com) and if possible post the on the group?  Thank you!Juliasv Esprit (#27)Currently in Curaçao (for hurricane seaon)

Who made mast on M36?

Anyone have any idea who made the mast and boom on the stock M36?  I have not been able to find any manufacturer stamps or labels on my mast, and have not figured it out trying to trace the profile and matching it on sites like Rig-Rite.

M39 Hull Thickness? ... Sizing thru-hull fittings

Hi all,I'm getting ready to replace thru-hulls (which are all original) on my Mariner 39 with TruDesign fittings. I've heard the hull is 2"+, which would be too thick for the skin fittings I bought. Snooping around the forums, it sounds like it's under the engine where it's that thick, but thinner elsewhere?Can anyone confirm hull thickness?While I'm at it, any advice on replacing the thru-hulls specific to the M39 is welcome. Other than I need to grind the original ones out of the fiberglass..…

Filler used inside of bilge?

Has anyone ever dropped their keel on an M36?  I'm wondering how thick the glass layer is on the bottom of the keel stub, and how thick the layer of filler material is that they added in the interior bilge compartments?

Engine Guard - M39


Engine Guard - M39

One improvement that I am really happy with is the addition of an engine guard. When working on anything on the far side of the engine, this allows laying on top of the engine without risk of damaging the small fuel pipes. It is made of 1/8" steel. It attaches with 3 screws for easy removal to work on the engine, but remains in place for normal operations. …

Complete Engine Rewiring - M39


Complete Engine Rewiring - M39

Over the last winter, I completely rewired my engine. This was prompted by finding some scorched wires at the control panel, and later learning that the original design had a couple significant and even dangerous design flaws. This is just a summary, but if anyone wants details, feel free to ask.

Key points:…

Spreaders


Hello everyone. After reading the last comment on the improved down wind performance of the fwd swept spreaders, I have by mistake deleted the "spreader" post... maybe the website master can put it back? I'm sorry!!!
