Hi, I'd spend the money to get the weld performed if $30 is all they want. Then again, one brother-in-law is a welder, so it's easy for me to say.

I had my gudgen cracks welded for $10. If you replaced the pintels, you would probably need gudgens also. I'd just Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:04:50 GMT P Gable http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/998 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/998 Thanks for the help.  As it turns out, it will cost a minimum of $30 to tack weld the parts.  I'm thinking it will be cheaper just to replace the pintels Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:22:35 GMT bmcdonell01 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/997 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/997 ... Can you send me some pictures? I am interested in your boat.

At least I'm assuming these are tack welds on the pin Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:57:26 GMT DaveS http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/994 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/994 Boat is in very good condition. Email me for pictures. daveyslack2yahoo.com. Trailer could use paint, but tires are good. Price: $2850 Has motor mount.

Nice use of an engine crane... I was thinking "tree branch" and build crutches underneath as in the pics, but that idea looks a lot more Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:30:10 GMT Edward Neu http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/992 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/992 It sounds like your rudder is similar to the centerboard arrangement. My rudder has small padeyes which I attached using a eye splice in the rudderlines. I Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:13:28 GMT Ted Allen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/991 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/991 Thanks, Edward. Actually, on my rudder there are no padeyes for the control lines. There are holes in the fore edge and the hind edge, each of which meet up Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:39:04 GMT Edward Neu http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/990 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/990 It is more difficult then you would think. On the rudder there are small padeyes. On the centerboard there are holes which you pass the line through and put Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:07:45 GMT Ted Allen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/989 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/989 Is replacing the centerboard up/down haul lines (i.e. their knots) any more difficult than doing the same on the rudder?  There wasn't any sort of difficulty Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:40:09 GMT wayne birkenmeyer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/988 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Harpoonsailboats/message/988 The 2005 APS catalog shows this cleat that can be used on the 5.2 C/B, as #C257 for $21.65.
