Hello Marilyn
I haven’t been keeping up with Nicholson38.org.
Having had the Keneskoonech for 10 months, I realize you spell boat with 2 t’s – bring out another ten thousand. I am pleased with my purchase but also concur with other owners that switched out the keyed ignition for a push button as I also lost a starter motor but replaced it with a new starter. Instead of Perkins parts, I have found Massey Ferguson (tractor) parts more readily available and less expensive in Canada and the U.S.A.. I never thought of bi-metal electrolysis when I reconditioned all my windows while using s/s bolts so I have work next spring insulating the s/s but at least I fixed the leaky windows before any structural damage occurred and replaced the vinyl on the interior bulkheads.
I thank the contributors on the mizzen sagging posts – I have a minor deflection their suggestions will correct.
Wishing all smooth sailing.
Murray
