Tuning? Corrosion in wiring? Unit crapped out? Furuno service is very good; have you asked them? -Chris
FWIW, I've had best luck on the Chesapeake, especially in some of the slimier/oozier areas, with SuperMAX and Fortress anchors. On an...
Yes, I think so... but that's without re-checking. Seems to me, lots of room in there, though. -Chris
The Hyatt Rivermarsh Marina in Cambridge is usually decent. You might find Solomons a pleasant stop in one direction or the other. We usually...
We're right on the edge, with our new-to-us fixer-upper. We started with a clean-sheet review of all boats (in budget) with features we wanted....
For anchorages, find the book "Cruising the Chesapeake, a Gunkholer's Guide" by Bill Shellenberger. Annapolis Yacht Basin, for 92 feet. St....
Just a minor point. Silverton made boats they named as "Motor Yachts" but the 34C isn't one. Instead, they named that a "Convertible." As...
If these are bronze castings, you might try Buck Algonquin... they supplied some parts for several of the Luhrs Group brands. They've got a new...
We had to replace our generator battery switch... on our previous boat, after 17 years... after serious troubleshooting why the thing wouldn't...
Agree (although I thought they're in New Zealand). The "learning" mode is a bit fiddly. "Start with empty tanks..." isn't so easy to do with...
Perhaps MAN's pre-CRM engines may have had a 1000-hour service schedule? -Chris
And I think I can add counter-point -- just for thought -- to Judy's post. A faster boat will at least go faster when you want it to. A slower...
Just a follow-up, for others' benefit... Gulf Coast Diesel has been very, very helpful... instructing, surveying, and now beginning some repairs...
Many of the popular Sabre models are a sort of "down east" style, no flying bridge so heights aren't huge... -Chris
Haven't heard of rail deliveries, but doesn't sound out of the question. Probably still need a truck involved at each end. There's also delivery...
Sometimes the bridge can be removed and then replaced at destination. When done this way, folks sometimes hire the same guy to remove (and mark...
We replaced two 17-year-old 16K BTU Marine Airrrr Vector Compact units with new 16K BTU Dometic DTK units (an evolution from when Marine Airrrr...
True. The 8.3s are sleeved. -Chris
The engines in Ovations are IPS600 (D4-435 hp), early enough (somewhere in the IPS A-F range) so that you have to haul the boat to change gear...
I think I'm seeing inflated prices, Judy. One example is a boat that I think ought be asking at $450, selling somewhere between $400-$420... but...
