Hi Dave - yup, that's the kind.

I'm replacing a stanchion that got bent in a 'bump' and am at the stage of putting the stanchion and base back in place. Any tips on 'how to' would be appreciated. Assume its probably a pretty simple job - but I've never done it.
Rob.

Hey Greg,
I sent an email in to customercare 'AT' kenyonappliances.com an got a quick reply from Frank Palmieri. He directed me to Bill at Shortwave Marine Electronics in Port Credit - thoug I haven't connected with him yet. Apparently with some stoves the parts are in short supply. Mine's a Model 206 ('79ish I suppose) and seems to have what's needed available.
So if Bill can get the parts I'll probably have him do the job...if not, ship it to Kenyon.
Rob.

Thanks Dave - appreciate the advice. She does have shore power - but maybe I'll just leave the charger to a pro. BTW - I found by contacting Kenyon that they'll do a complete rebuild on the stove for me. Just got pack it ups and send it to them.

Hi All - hauled out today :-(... and getting my list of winter jobs together. Looking for some advise on a few...
<ol>
<li>Kenyon Stove Refurbish - still have the original stove and its in good shape but something is up with the pressure. Heard you could get them 'refurbished'...anyone know where?</li>
<li>Lights (Anchor, Steaming, Running) - all have been intermittent the past few years. Would like to replace the stern fixture and rewire/replace on the mast. Is that a pretty simple DIY job (and if so where to get parts)...and if not - can anyone recommend a pro?</li>
<li>Battery Charger - have what I assume to be a standard 2 - 12V system and thinking of adding a charger for dock side (where the kids keep me way too much). Same question as in number 2 above.</li>
</ol>
Thanks,
Rob.

Hi - just trolling through some old postings and happened upon this sagely advise. I fitted a Furlex on my MkIII last year spring and left the spinnaker (and rigging) in the bag for the season because I couldn't figure out how to set it up so's it wouldn't wrap. Sounds like you've solved for it - but I only have til next Saturday to learn and adapt.
Did the pictures of this 'fix' ever get circulated?

Thanks for both of the above remedies...got a few months ahead of me to get the job done.

Anyone out there got a foolproof recipe for cleaning up some dirty fenders? Commercial or home brew - whatever works.

Hey All,
I'm on the hunt for new main and #1. I'm planning on new (dacron) - but would be interested in looking at any used options out there. Also planning to add roller furling.
Any recommendations as far as furling gear (I'm looking at Hood, Profurl and Harkin) or sailmakers.
Rob.

hey Dave,
Thanks again. I guess I'm one of the 'lucky' ones with a C&C27 blister ;-). That said - after closer inspection by those in the know the problem does appear to be localized so we're gonna go with a plan much as you recommend. I may cross my fingers twice though.
You mentioned Interlux - I've also heard the name 'VC Watertight' - floowed by VC tar (my anti fouling is VC17). Any experience (direct or indirect) with these products?
Rob.
