Dude - cut me some slack. The electronics were trashed when I got her. Anything that has power is because I fixed it. I replaced the rotted...
CapJ, I'm not sure what you're saying. That there's no need to replace the rotted core? I peeled back the fiberglass top layer, put in epoxy...
I like your option 1 the best Gary. I still haven't resurfaced the deck. I repaired the balsa core where it was rotted, and plugged all the old...
So.... is it common, in larger yachts, to keep a bilge/engine room fan running for ventilation? Or are you all saying if I need active...
It's definitely not a fuel or exhaust smell. More like ... an old machine shop.
Thanks. So is it common to keep a small bilge fan or blower running while in the slip? I seem to get a persistent engine smell that appears to...
I mean I know I turn the blower on before starting the engines to purge (potential) fumes. Is a bilge fan intended to dehumidify the engine room...
Got a 4207 with 454's. Starboard engine temp runs up pretty quick toward redline at WOT. Settles back down to normal range when I pull back to...
I had to google "coosa" but now I understand what you mean. I watched a Jamestown video that demonstrated beveling the edges, thanks. The toe...
I traced a water leak in the AC to rainwater coming through a series of fine cracks in the "step-on" side deck (terminology?). I started cutting...
Thanks Bill The teak is exterior and I believe the surface is single skin. Quality glass and epoxy are expensive. The fastener holes are...
I'm working on a renovation of an '87 Carver 4207. There were a couple of salon leaks that I traced to the teak fasteners. The teak was in poor...
Good inputs. So some on this thread have suggested simply running the existing vessel AC systems in dehumidification mode. I guess I'd like to...
Back to the discussion on best tablet for Navionics - I'd still like to hear about anyone's experience using an android tablet. Here are my...
The Acer Iconia looks pretty good at only $299. Biggest "con" reported on cnet is that it's a little heavier than the rest of the pack. But in a...
Which droid tablet are you all using? Would you make that choice again? (w/r to navionics)
NYCAP - 1987 Carver 4207 - no special dehumidifying capability that I can discern
Good input Dennis - so while in the slip in FL you don't find it worthwhile to use it? Even if you're away from the boat for a day or two? If...
Run a line to the bilge - or overboard. Yes, I know, what if the line clogs or the system malfunctions. Well there's ways around that, but...
I've been considering putting a dehumidifier on my Carver 4207 but I haven't seen much discussion relevant to marine use. I'd be interested in...
