[Alberg30] fiberglass

[Mike Lehman]

The best tool for grinding is a small 5" heavy duty grinder. If you don't have one, you can rent one. There are re-build kits for the old Wilcox Crittendon heads (expensive). Check with Fawcett's in Annapolis. http://www.fawcettboat.com/

In my opinion the older, mostly metal parts, heads are better than the never, mostly plastic parts, heads. They are worth the money to re-build.

  last night i removed the head from rascal. while the head is out of course i will spruce up the area, and it appears the tabbing from hull to bulkhead has separated some.in prior postings people have spoken of grinding off the old glass and re tabbing. my question, is what is the preferred tool for this grinding.
  second, the head appears to be the original, wilcox crittendon i think, are parts readily available for these, or should i just go to west and get all new ?
