It depends. We're 10 minutes from the boat, so I can check whenever I want, and when our marina freezes in I can easily come down and turn on the...
I have used Rydlyme and Barnacle Buster periodically to treat AC condensate drain lines. A recirculating system would likely be more effective,...
I forgot to mention a Rubbermaid step-stool/toolbox thing I keep in the engine room, too. Has an insert tray, so some small things on top and...
I keep a Craftsman 3-drawer version in the engine room -- similar to RT46's pic, but with a plastic body and lid and metal drawers. SAE and...
Diesel engines becoming less reliable? Where does that come from? -Chris
Dunno exactly about how to route from the tablet, but perhaps via cable of some sort. USB-to-RCA plugs (red/white for sound, yellow for video) is...

The fixtures with plastic bevels are the Mako model, with brass bevels are Cayman Broc (something like that). There's an owners club, modest...

To add some to what the others have said... Antennas are designed for specific radio frequency bands, not the signals transmitted therein....
USCG Aux and US Power Squadrons both offer several courses. Many of these are classroom instead of hands-on, but it's mostly material you either...
I've read there are good deals on factory reman Cummins diesels. Ref the whole idea: former boat neighbor repowered a gas 35 Betram ('80s model,...
You're saying the V70 meets your specific requirements? You like it? Or it just happens to be the bigger boat that you can access? Nothing...
Why 70'? -Chris
Compare cost of conversion (including costs of planning, sourcing, time, etc.) to the cost of a US-version ST44 that might be already here... -Chris
Yep, the Mako fixtures have a plastic bezel. Cayman Brac (something like that) are "brass." Happens we have both, in various places. Near as I...
