I have to say these are some pretty stern words and may sound offensive. I think what the experienced people are trying to get across to you will...
Hi Chuck C, We bought our boat that was moored about 4-5 slips away from yours in Port Moody. We recognized Merganser from when she was in Sidney....
Hi Merganser Captain. I wound up changing out the old stuffing boxes with a new dripless system. It was a bit more expensive but not too much...
Not sure about others but mine starts with OAX. I assumed they all would.
I'm not sure what your question is but diesels like/need to be worked but the added fuel cost makes it expensive to run at that speed not to...
haha. lesson #2; always anchor upwind of the experts. I always use my main anchor (properly set) for any anchoring. Never understood what was...
Good info and this sounds like it would have the best holding ability. So, for the less experienced (me), to properly set a Bahamian Moor, do I...
Good suggestions and the spare wrenches would certainly help in deployment speed. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks ranger42c. Do you just keep it in a lower rear storage locker? Would be a bit of a beast to haul out.. That's about the only place I could...

I agree with you on that. Biggest challenge is finding a combo that will fit... May have to modify the cabinet to match the appliances but was...
That's exactly it. In fact, it looks like a picture of my boat... Neither component is a factory install but the cabinet does look like it is....
On the rear sun deck of our 95 OA 440 CPMY there's an optional cabinet, roughly 36"h x 33"w x 22"d. Currently there's an ice maker and a trash...
I'm also looking at the same issue. Considering a car top cargo box but have to look at what that would look like... I'd prefer to keep them in...
Nice looking photo and congrats on the new buy! Not to get too far off topic but I have an electric cook top on board my OA. Most everyone I speak...
I have a 95 OA 440 Cpmy that we purchased last year. Love the boat and many adventures upcoming. Meanwhile, I'm completing all the servicing and...
For what it's worth. I had also heard of installing this system as a few people have done this. At first glance, it seemed like a great idea but...
Thanks to rcrapps for the below chart.. Not wanting to take away from the topic too far but does anyone have something similar to the below for an...
