Courtney,
=A0
What did you pay for this boat, like $3?
=A0
The electronic panel on my boat doesn't have a door just a 24 inch by 39 in=
ch piece of plywood the panel screws onto.=A0 Both the 12 Volt and the 110 =
volt panels are side by side and both screw into that plywood.=A0 If you ha=
ve something different describe it.
=A0
The interior cabin top panels have formerly been removed and some edges are=
now uneven after re installation. Suggestions for installing with smooth i=
n-line edging (in the same plane) is needed.
If you're talking about the head liner then which ever one of them is strai=
ghter use it as a template and cut a new one for the other side.=A0 The vin=
yl should peel off and then you will have to glue it on again.=A0 Or replac=
e all the vinyl.
=A0
For the hatch try this place they have a lot of parts for older hatches.

=A0
For winterizing the engine.=A0 Remove the raw water intake hose from the wa=
ter pump.=A0 Bottom left hand side of the engine.=A0 The intake is pointed =
towards under the sink.=A0 Place a clear plastic hose over the intake and c=
lamp it tight.=A0 Make sure that clear plastic hose is long enough to reach=
back to the wheel/tiller.=A0 Put a funnel into the other end of the hose a=
nd open two gallons of the pink antifreeze.=A0 Pour some into the funnel.=
=A0 It will be slow going because it has to displace the air in the hose.=
=A0 Pour as much as possible in and then crank the engine, just a little do=
n't start it.=A0 As you crank the engine the antifreeze will begin to make =
it's way down the hose and you'll be able to see it cause it's clear.=A0 Wh=
en you have it about half full, start the engine and start pouring in the a=
ntifreeze as fast as the engine will take it.=A0 When it starts coming out =
the exhaust as pink kill the engine, your done.=A0 Remove the clear plastic=
hose and
reinstall the intake hose.
=A0
The emergency tiller is custom made.=A0 I'll take a picture of mine and sen=
d it to you next week.=A0 I've used mine once.=A0 I had to motor 300 yards.=
=A0 I was absolutely horrific with the tiller either being ripped out of yo=
ur hands or trying to crush you.=A0 Emergency is the appropriate word for t=
his tiller.=A0 Call tow boats US if you're more than 300 yards from home.
=A0
Bow pulpit was=A0custom made for the Frers but there are tons of places out=
there that sell pulpits.=A0=A0Here's one on Ebay.=A0 Or you could just get=
it welded/repaired.=A0 Most riggers could do a decent job.

Having just undertaken the refurbishment of #54 and basically being unfamil=
iar with how it was originally built, that is, I don't know what has been d=
one to 'er vis-a-vis 'er original state, please educate me as to the follow=
ing:
1-the port side electronic panel won't stay up (closed), what should retain=
the 'door'
2-the interior cabin top panels have formerly been removed and some edges a=
re now uneven after reinstallation. Suggestions for installing with smooth =
in-line edging (in the same plane) is needed.
3-the head hatch has no securing member(s) for the locking handles. What sh=
ould be installed and where might it be had ?
4-how should the Yanmar be prepared for storage. I don't know what, if anyt=
hing, has been previously done or it's history.
More to follow and thanks to all,
Courtney
