This is one of the simplest boat projects ever. Other Pacific Seacraft 37 (and maybe 34?) owners may appreciate this.
The garbage can in my galley came with the boat when I bought her. I suspect its over 20 years old. There was some duct tape on the bottom holding a crack together, and some more on the side. There were more cracks on the side and toward the top which were getting worse. The garbage can was leaking and falling apart. So I needed a new garbage can.
I pulled the can out, and looked for identifying marks. It was made by rubbermaid, and there were the numbers 2957 on the bottom. If you google 'rubbermaid 2957' you'll get a lot of hits. Its pretty cool that the same garbage can has been made for so long, I thought I would be out of luck buying a new one.
Home depot sells this garbage can and you can verify online to make sure your local store sells them. It cost me a little less than $10. So if you happen to have an old, cracked garbage can in your PSC 37, head on over to home depot and pick up a new one. It will have four tabs you need to cut off. As you need to modify the garbage can you buy, I'm claiming that it qualifies as a boat project - one of the simplest ones.
