Agreed, Pascal. When I installed my system on the 53c, my instinct said to install large emergency kill buttons on the helm right next to the...
I vaguely recall a grouch in the Ft Lauderdale shop several years ago.
Holy smokes. Fender washers were the washers of choice here? Disappointed that no crow bars were available to assist the hold-down...
I use two coats and then a third at the top 18-24 inches.
I've been using Trilux 33, haul annually. Prop Speed on running gear and bottoms of trim tabs. Works well. SoFla, Bahamas, Northeast.
Really nice job on the marina. Hasn't resulted in much new traffic yet, but it's a nice setup.
Great point on voltage at pedestal. Often overlooked. Your boat says you're drawing 30 amps, but low dockside voltage could mean a much higher...
Check the lugs within your box to confirm the quality of those connections, any weakening, signs of heat or corrosion. If all is well, just...
That failure location looks suspiciously like an approximate length to exit a pedestal and wrap around a cleat on its way to the boat. Just a...
Pascal nailed this. I'll add this...when running at hull speed be patient. Calculate your hull speed and round down a bit. Make sure that you...
When you replace that cable on your reel, measure the distance from the plug to your damage spot and mark the new cable at the same general...
I think this pretty much nails it. The Bahamas is so Nassau-centric when it comes to budgets and staffing that these out-islands are left to...
Installed a Bosch touch-panel model. No buttons or knobs. Just excellent both shore and generator. Easy to clean and care for. I place a damp...
Yeah, I went Ultra many years ago and have never had any issues, multiple boats. They do make a mini....
Heavy duty stainless chain hook with a shackle and a 1.25" braided line and loop with chafe protection. You can manipulate the hook into place...
I'm actually going to squeeze in there with the big gal. Cuz, why not. Good people there....I'll stay on genny, but escape the surge. Next stop...
Yes, I'm also a fan of Kamalame. Tiamo down in Driggs Hill in South Bight is another in Andros that's been pretty much under the radar, but is...
We have an aft and forward sump in the "wet" bilge so that water sits only in the low sump, not in a wider, open area. Sumps can then be cleaned...
Yes, we're using them. We change them every couple of years to avoid buildup and failures. But other locations like a forward bilge and laz,...
yes, I have dry bilge sys in a couple of locations, working well. Bad thing about the Perko is the inevitable back flow of water that doesn't...
