On the  TRAWLER MV pg. I have posted photos of several projects that may be
of interest .
They are  in the CCRIDER photo file.

1. Awning for the cockpit of CCRIDER which is a P/H model. This awning
   keeps the rain out of the cockpit  and allows it to drip outside the
   transom. It is hinged and swings down with the turn of  a thumb screw on
   each of the two braces that are made of  aluminum tent poles. The ends of
   the "tent poles" are fitted with off the shelf bimini hardware.
2. Awning for the fore cabin. It rolls up and self stows under the eye brow
   of the P/H. ( This set up will work on most cabin configurations to shade
   the foredeck.) There is a SS pipe in the fwd.  end of the awning on which
   the canvass is rolled. Two down hauls on each side with snaps to  eyes on
   the cabin top stabilize  it in a wind. I put two grommets in the canvas to
   allow rain water to drain thru so there is no sagging. The placement of them
   was very scientific, I sprayed the awning with the garden hose until water
   puddled on each side of the center seam ( as I knew it would) and installed
   the grommets there!!
   There are 4 straps permanently mounted under the eye brow to hold the stowed
   awning. Did this abt 10 yrs ago and it works great.
   Note : A)that one may sit upright under it and the post on the front of the
   trunk cabin may be removed but I never do.
   B) It does NOT impede fwd. vision.
3. Picture of my ( simple) electric fuel pump setup  with the bypass and
   isolation valves.

Does someone out there have information about the actual location and name
of the manufacturer of the Seamaster motoryacht/trawler?  I'm specifically
interested in a mid 80's 47' model.????

Thanks in advance.
