We've had good luck with LEDs from marinebeam.com. Not inexpensive, but they work well. The previous and less-expensive bi-pin LEDs showed some...
Personal preference. We had a dual helm, once, and I liked that. OTOH, we seldom actually used the lower helm; usually that was when it was...
If your Glomex worked fine before, it will continue to do so. (Our Glomex is from 2002, works fine with current over-the-air TV signals.) The...
I'd expect, in order of expense, that replacing twin gas with twin gas, or replacing twin gas with twin 4-53s, could be easiest/fastest and maybe...
What is the current power? What would be your goal with the conversion? Not the same, but an anecdote: Boat neighbor had an '80s 35 gas Bertram...
Can you not just slip the Ultra out of the hose clamp and turn it upside down to test? -Chris
IIRC, the 42 was the first of that series (but I'm not sure about the intro date for the 34/36)... so my guess just assumes Silverton wouldn't...
I suspect Blount designed the hulls on all of the Silverton staircase/bridge convertibles: 42, 34/36, 38, 45, 48/50... -Chris
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...
Amenities and simplicity are almost antithetical. You want a battery charger? Yes. But sometimes they die... any brand, installed in any brand...
Typical troubleshooting on the raw water side would be: - cleaning the sea strainer (which you've done), - changing the impeller (fishing out any...
The fixtures with plastic bevels are the Mako model, with brass bevels are Cayman Broc (something like that). There's an owners club, modest...
Are you using the word "yacht" in the English sense: a sailboat, of almost any length? Or in the "really huge boat" sense? Or...? Have you...
Many (most?) analog TVs could accept a cable TV input; the cable's set-top-box would then do the tuning in that case... so the F connector...
To add some to what the others have said... Antennas are designed for specific radio frequency bands, not the signals transmitted therein....
