Perhaps not mentioned here, try to avoid using brass on a boat. If you use stainless clamps, use the quality ones usually not found at Home Depot...
I don't care to argue. The theme of this thread has become a circular argument. It's one thing to understand market rates and trends. But these...
I guess that I'm taking offense to this, and I may be in error as to understanding the intent of this forum. Pay rates are established by an open...
I don't think at ALL that this is the conversion that was taking place when I chimed in. Bottom line, you almost ALWAYS get what you pay for. In...
Why does it matter to you "how he was hired"? Why does it matter to him to have a title? If I hire him as captain, and it's time to change the...
We have an argument trying to take place where there should be no argument. I have a licensed captain aboard who is also a very fine mechanic....
Add, I've taken difficult spaces and removed existing lights, opened the backside of the fixture and installed new LED chips into the old housings...

You're getting into the class of yacht that needs a consistent eye on systems, maintenance, and overall care. Yeah, you can be cheap and save the...
Exactly. It's an easy inlet, immediate proximity to the inlet for the next leg, and an overall terrific marina that I've used several times to...
Went this route along with the auto flush option, WMS1000. Thank you for the input.
Agreed, modular. Murphy's Law demands that failures occur in the back corner of any configuration. I'm happy to place the components in a manner...
Space is always an issue on a boat, but not really a bind here. I'm all about mechanical, reliable, repairable, serviceable, bulletproof. I...
I'm actually finding this thread as I'm about to tear out the old and replace it with a more reliable system. I've ben milking the old for some...
I’m guilty of lust.
Too many boats seem to be designed from the inside out...and the designer throws in the towel before actually heading outside...
Timely posting. Thanks, Pascal.
