[C320-list] SEWARD STOVE UPGRADE

[Dick Walker]

With an AUTOPROP we get about 7 kits at +/- 2700 RPM.

Galley stove update.

SEAWARD (562) 699-7997 has made 2 nice upgrades to the stove sine our stove
was installed in 1999:

1. A grate that covers the entire cooking area.  You remove the two burners
and replace.  Part # 73515 - Grate, Full 2BR $50.00   You can see the new
grate on their web site.


2. A new broiler pan that is much heavier and larger:  part # 50627 -
Broiler Pan &* Insert Assembly - &40.00

These are not listed on line you must call customer service.

Thanks to a CYC member Tom Dead for the heads up.

Bob:

I know whereof you speak, having sat on a restaurant deck in Portsmouth and
watched boats fighting that current. Yikes.

But, on the subject of speed, what RPMs do you run to get to 7.2 knots? 
Cruising at 2600, we get in the range of 5.5 to 6 knots.
