Not only are LED hit and miss, the fixture requires a very specific bulb and wattage for visibility per regulation for the size of the boat. Need...
Then again, if the rest is in good condition, and it is a Marquipt, why not just rebuild it?
https://www.marquipt.com/products/tenderlift-classic-1000-1500-lbs-455-680-kg/ I've used these for years. Never an issue. Go bigger than you...
Agreed. Unless someone steps in and takes this project on, out of the hands of the current situation, I don't see any hope displayed in anything...
With any luck it makes it to the Stream and gets away from the shoals.
Agreed. But labeling a boat of that value as being "properly insured"? Seems like the same coverage you get from Boat US for being a member.
What? Yes we have proper insurance, a million dollar insurance plan, yet they will only cover us to have our fuel removed from our tanks. They...
"wondering whether to restore"? Come on....we know what John Wayne would have done...
Perhaps not mentioned here, try to avoid using brass on a boat. If you use stainless clamps, use the quality ones usually not found at Home Depot...
I don't care to argue. The theme of this thread has become a circular argument. It's one thing to understand market rates and trends. But these...
I guess that I'm taking offense to this, and I may be in error as to understanding the intent of this forum. Pay rates are established by an open...
I don't think at ALL that this is the conversion that was taking place when I chimed in. Bottom line, you almost ALWAYS get what you pay for. In...
Why does it matter to you "how he was hired"? Why does it matter to him to have a title? If I hire him as captain, and it's time to change the...
We have an argument trying to take place where there should be no argument. I have a licensed captain aboard who is also a very fine mechanic....
Add, I've taken difficult spaces and removed existing lights, opened the backside of the fixture and installed new LED chips into the old housings...
Take your time on these decisions. LED lighting is a full education process. 2700 CCT is the best color of light. 3000 CCT is the closest to...
It seems there is a lot of grandstanding here for the sake of supporting the industry financial parameters. As someone who hires, the rate is the...
Agreed. That's what we do. Then again, depends on one's definition of "layover". To me, layover is a brief rest between destinations, typically...
Ok, anyone with experience using or maintaining the Torqeedo Deep Blue system? Seriously contemplating a tender repower.
You're getting into the class of yacht that needs a consistent eye on systems, maintenance, and overall care. Yeah, you can be cheap and save the...
