Anyone try the ORigo heater which doubles as a single burner?  They are about $102.00 US...looks like a good option!

Shannon- the manuals are on the way, neighbor!  Do not inhale when opening the envelope...those green things, you know!  Good luck with them...Kristin

Ok, no bites on the Alaska invite...how about if I go south for a sail?  Won't get Tiny Dancer in the water until April...can't stand the wait!! Happy New Year to ALL!

Great!  I need your address and will mail it...if you can stand a little mildew along with them.  I have a Yanmar now which I had to order a manual for and it was a travesty to my wallet...do all boat things cost more???  Anyway I'll pass it to you and you can keep free boat thing concept going...who knows what we'll start??

Mark, let me know when you will be coming, we may be heading that way in the summer!

Great, thanks alot for your help!  I'll wait to hear...good sailing!

Still struggling with the prop issue.  The choices are: the original 12x9 two blade but repitching it 1", a 11x12 3 blade which is on hand, or what other options have worked to get the RPMs up to 3400 on anyone elses Yanmar 1gm 10hp?  Help!!  I must decide the best choice as it is the last chance before launch and I dont' want to have to take her out again for a while...ps...we have strong currents here...

Shannon- thanks for all the advice!  I haven't launched yet, went to Asia for a few weeks then brought back a nasty flu..I am stalled on the prop, the prop guy only has the immediate choice of the old 12x9 two bladed to re pitch for the 10hp, or a 3 bladed 11x12 on hand.  I am getting that neither are the best choice, so may order another when I figure it out.  Sounds like a new shaft is needed too, so will look into what you have.
I found the boat under my kitchen sink when I had a persistant leak and had to call a plumber..with whom i struck up a boat conversation.  He had this boat, but had never launched her as he broke his wrist last spring, shortly after purchasing her.  So I talked him out of it, to make the story short, and am anxious to start the whole venture.  I take a sailing course in Hawaii(the nearest outpost from Alaska) in Feb and hope to have all this resolved by spring! Don't know which hull I have..it is an 1983!

oh, and I screwed a metal yardstick to the edge of the 2x4 and will mount on a bolt under the engine, for retrieval.

PS  when the prop guy pulled the prop, he found that the shaft tip was rotten...anyone know the contessa shaft length and size, where to get them and the cost?  His charge for a shaft is $300.  Seems high. Thanks!

Would you sell the trailer by itself??
