I don't know how it works on the East Coast, but given our close proximity to Canada we have a regular inflow of foreign visitors. Here, everyone...
It's unfortunate but you really do need to approach this correctly and do all the appropriate inspections: 1. Pull BOTH props and shafts - yes...
You really need to try to figure out if you have bearings in the shaft logs or not. Without knowing this it will be difficult to know how to...
You might get more replies if you start a new thread with some info on the boat you are considering (year, engines, hours, gens, etc). I have...
See my reply to your other post. You can try sending him a PM but he hasn’t been on in quite some time. Perhaps someone on here knows him personally?
I haven’t seen anyone on here with a 65 since Bamboo left when his Owners sold theirs. There are a few active members with 54’s. The boats are not...
If you do not have a bearing in the shaft log and only have one in the strut your alignment can be more complicated. If this is correct, your...
Geez- from the title, I expected a totally different subject. So disappointing
How does one foul an anchor line around a shaft without the engine running and shaft rotating? For the survey to assess for damage you will have...
So that .070 you measured with a micrometer while rotating the shaft, where on the shaft were you measuring? Up near the coupling, down by the...

I just had near identical issue on my boat. One of the wires melted about 1” from the terminal where it connects to the shore power breaker in my...
What brand is your existing pump and system? Many of the older units were Robertson. Simrad bought them out and some of the new Simrad stuff will...
On commercial ships they always refer to it as a shot of chain. Each 90’ shot is connected via a detachable link. They paint each detachable link...
All your points above can be said the same regardless if on 30 amp or 50 amp. If someone is going to operate their boat that way they will have...
How is it possible to have both shore power and gen on the buss at the same time? I get your point about a lock out bar but don’t you have a...
I don’t understand why all the opposition to running off a single 30 amp 110v outlet using an appropriate 50 amp to 30 amp adapter? Yes, he will...
It can also be one of the plug ends on the shore power cord. Twist locks are notorious for not making good, solid connections. After having two...
Looks like a lot more then just electrical work. I don't know if that's smoke damage or mold (maybe both). At minimum, I would try to estimate...
