Our big personal news is that we need to spend 10 months in Princeton, NJ for work, starting Sep 2023. We'll be motoring from Detroit. Sadly...
The end of this story: We completed the delivery voyage with only one working head. After our delivery voyage was completed with a little more...
Thanks for your suggestions. An update: Capt. reports A LOT of the hot water treatment has cleared the aft head, including sink and shower, plus...
The captain is assuring me that he has followed the pipes and there is no sump. He also repeated that the waste tank is empty and it is not...
Yes, as you say we immediately called the seller and confirmed they had filled the water tank. They confirmed it. Yes we emptied the holding tank...
Thanks for saying that -- I completely agree. The delivery captain is the real hero here. I had no idea how hard the life of a delivery captain...
It is a custom build. Yes, that comparison with the other yacht is right on -- in this case it is a 600 gallon black water tank. As to Captain...
Thanks I think I agree in that I am saying there are two issues: One is a broken pipe that was inside the waste tank (that has been repaired) and...

Thanks for your assistance -- I have now obtained a used M802.
I don't have anything now. I think I would need the control head (RC-25) and the radio (big black box, M802) itself at a minimum. I would also be...
