Dick:  Who made your auto prop?  Are you happy with your stern  mounted 
dinghy davit?  If so, what make and model is it and how much did it  cost you?

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.
