Brian Nappe left a comment for Brandon"Hi Brandon,
I have a Cascade 36 and have been traveling for the last 2+ years. I recently saw your request for pictures of the orgiginal wood boom. I have several pics of my boom which had the original roller gear replaced, but otherwise…"
Brandon commented on S/V Compadre's group Cascade Owners Unite"Hey guys! Do any of you have a wooden boom? This might be a silly questions lol but the boat I just purchased has a wooden boom but it is bare (no hardware).. would be nice to see a picture of one.. cant seem to find one anywhere? .. Thank you "
Brandon commented on S/V Compadre's group Cascade Owners Unite"Great to hear from you Michael! I have recently purchased a project :) but a very interesting vessel it is! I meet a really great guy that shares the same passion of sailing, he has recently had to give up the seas as-well. I will post pictures of…"

Brandon commented on S/V Compadre's group Cascade Owners Unite"Is this site still active?

I have a Cascade 36 and have been traveling for the last 2+ years. I recently saw your request for pictures of the orgiginal wood boom. I have several pics of my boom which had the original roller gear replaced, but otherwise is the way they were set up. I replaced my wooden spruce boom with an aluminum boom shortly before launching and taking off. If you still want pictures let me know. I will be leaving in a few weeks for Chile and probably not have internet after leaving. Mine is a great ocean boat and a pleasure to sail in all conditions.
Enjoy,
Brian

sam replied to Peter Obetz's discussion A/C thru hull caution!!!!! in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Similarly, I changed out my aircon thru hull and valve a while back. Seems to be an issue.
Recently, I was changing the aircon seawater pump and luckily found a valve on the distribution manifold (one pump serves two aircon units) that was fully…"
sam replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike nails the freezer (and Refrigerator) item. Remove the woodencovers on the vents, and if they have never been off you will most likely find a carpet of dust/hair/lint. I drilled small screw holes and added screws to re-attach. Now it is a…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Thanks for the details, this really helps. It will be a few weeks before I get a chance to tackle this.
Fair winds!

Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Cam, I used a wide, flat blade screw driver to pry it off. I took my time and made sure I wasn't forcing it and causing any dents or scratches. It took a little while to do but when done I had good access to the coils. One of the grills would…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike - great information! I was hoping that there is a way to remove the wood grills. What type of tool did you find worked that didn’t damage the wood? "
Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Cam, keeping the coils clean is essential to max efficiency for both units. For whatever reason our 43 required constant upkeep to keep the coils clean. The wood grates are glued on but can be removed if you work at it using a tool that won't…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Hey Mike - I agree with you that there is no physical problem with the unit running. My problem is the drain on the battery. As a weekend / once / twice a year cruiser, I don’t have solar to recharge my batteries (yet). I…"
Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"We experienced the same thing on our B43 (now sold and gone). We were living aboard and cruising with a fairly full freezer. Like you did I changed out the thermostat without success. I wrote it off to the poorly insulated freezer compartment but…"
