Wondering if anyone can give me a little advice.?
I am Canadian and bought a 1988 Sabre 36 in New Jersey last Nov.
Boat surveyed above average.
Broker has a marina and stored the boat and equipment over Winter for me.?
Just commissioned the boat and found a couple of issues, the Dingy and my Asymmetrical were damaged by a squirrel in what I assumed was winter storage. The never used Dingy has a 4 inch hole in the tube. I am told the estimate to fix is 800$ and will take until mid June. I hope to have it sailed close to home by then. Bought a RIB at Defender yesterday.?
Also, the Asymmetrical has multiple chew holes in the sock with some small ones in sail. Otherwise in like new condition.?
The rest of the boat is sound and I¡¯m happy with my purchase.?
This issue is not my fault of course and I¡¯m not pointing fingers. Just trying to see if there are any options.?
The broker just sent me the address of the repair person.?
I have Geico insurance.?
I thought similar experiences may exist among the group and was looking for guidance.?
Thank you.?

S28 MK I ignition lock/switch wiring
Hi, All.?
I'm afraid I may be forced to replace my ignition switch on S28 Mk I. Does anyone have any idea where all these cables go to? I'm trying to replace it with a Colee- Hersee 3-position ignition switch and I have no clue which wires go where. I'll try attaching the photo of current switch.?

426 belt replacement - raw water hose makes it difficult
Has anyone figured out a good way to move the raw water hose and re attach it when replacing alternator belts on a 426?
The hose literally prevents the alternator (we have 105A Balmar) from moving more than 1/4¡± toward the centerline.

Re: AGM Battery recommendation
LifeLine and Victron AGMs are top of the line. ?The Lifelines may be a better deal given the current international trade issues.

Its time to replace our 4D AGM house batteries.? For how we use the boat AGMs are fine and I don't want to switch to Li.
Would anyone have recommendations for a specific manufacturer?? Many members of our club are using Interstate Marine AGMs and seem satisfied.
Second question I see? some manufacturers have switched to L lug terminals.? They seem awkward to connect.? My current battery has a bolt that screws right into the battery. Are there adaptors for the L lug terminals?

Re: AGM Battery recommendation
Lithium nearly doubles the battery capacity in the same footprint since they can be drawn down much much further.?
Be sure to consider in your eval.?
Please consider the environment before printing this email. Thank you.

I suggest you look into the Victron Super AGM's.? I put 3 of the 125
AH ones in a couple years ago & so far so good.
They pack in more AH for their size and claim a better discharge
tolerance.? Installed prior to a Newfoundland trip where we,
unfortunately, did not get to fully test them as we had a lot of
motoring.
You might fit their 230AH ones.
3 of the 125AH were $1175 del'd January 2023
Likewise Li does not make sense for my use.

Any recommendations for gaskets for the water and holding tanks? They are a gooey mess.

Re: How many are still around?
Hmmm, my newly updated signature on the site didn't post.? Maybe it takes an overnight update? Thanks,

I see my boat in the registry under the previous (and original) owner's name.? What's the best way to update that?? Edit the existing entry, or make a new entry?? It may be useful to keep the previous owner records for tracking boat histories.

Re: How many are still around?
I did not know about this registry! Just added GLENDI to it.
?
In addition I know Glen at Sabre keeps a list of active Sabre sailboats, for anyone who has reached out to him.

I've got the same tray that you were talking about.? Not sure what the original purpose was for it, but it holds a sponge for quick cleanups or drying out the bilge.

As far as getting in the back lazarette, at 6'1" and 235 lb. It's tight.? I only go in when absolutely necessary.? What I do to reach the handles normally is go upside down with my legs and ass hanging out of the lazarette.? It serves two functions, I can reach the handles and if someone walks by they can have a good laugh.
