    Remove side door to fix rollers

    I have a suggestion. After having replaced rollers several times I became disillusioned with this design. I made starboard blocks that fit into the bottom slot of the door and cut a slot to ride on the ridge of the lower sill. Works smoothly and reliably. Haven't had to do it since then...

    Finally Moving Again! Edition 2022

    Ok, I'll ask if no one else will. How on God's Blue earth did you get a cat to use the toilet?!?!?!?

    What is it?

    That's too bad...I was enjoying the discussion.

    EXAMPLE: Defender vs West Marine. Whats up???

    Bacchus, I applaud your attitude of awarding loyalty to the lower price local merchant. I absolutely see the merit. I just sometimes look at it as sticking it to the price gougers by forcing them to sell it to me at a price I think maybe they can't afford and giving it a little twist by taking...

    EXAMPLE: Defender vs West Marine. Whats up???

    By the way they price match with amazon but the item has to be sold and shipped by amazon. So that stuff I can check before I even leave the house.

    EXAMPLE: Defender vs West Marine. Whats up???

    Are you aware of West Marine's price match and rewards program? So here's my strategy. I go find what I want at West Marine. I then google the item on my magic phone and find it cheaper somewhere else. I go to the register with it and request a price match. If they price match it (most...

    Registration request

    I actually am documented and I informed him of this. He still wanted it so I gave him my "official number". Like I said "weird".

    1973 Cheoy Lee Renovation

    I have actually given this some thought and the next time I need this I am going to order a large memory foam mattress, cut it to shape and have an upholstery shop make a zippered cover to enclose it. Sorry I don't have anyone to recommend, but that is my advice.

    Italy seizes Russian super yacht.

    ok, I finally pulled up the pic. Wow, I am hesitant to call any boat ugly....buuuut......

    Italy seizes Russian super yacht.

    Excellent idea! If not for lodging and whatever else they can be used for. As far as the legality who knows, I have always operated under the assumption that ownership of anything is artificial. Try not paying your taxes and see how long you get to live in your home.

    Alternator wiring

    Have you tried the diagrams in the library? Click on Library tab at top, then systems, then there are a couple of files for mainship diagrams that might be similar. It's worth a shot.

    I have no idea. I was actually on my way home to Stuart!

    Registration request

    Has anyone else been asked for their registration number when transiting a drawbridge? I was asked last year while traveling southbound on ICW at a bridge in I believe Virginia. First and only time I've ever been asked for it. It has been bugging me since. Tender said it was a new...

    Survey Observations

    My 2 cents. I've been an aircraft mechanic and inspector for over 30 years now and it is similar. One thing I've learned is two inspectors can look at the same area on any given day and see totally different things. Not that either is bad, some things jump out at you and some things don't...

    AnyExperience with Mabru A/C?

    Just occured to me. It may have been coincidence, but I noticed that the reverse cycle heating feature provided heat beyond the point where my previous cruisair unit would be unuseable. Fortunately I do not need that feature any more. :dance:

    AnyExperience with Mabru A/C?

    It was approximately 1 1/2 to 2 years ago I put in my Mabru. I've never tested the amp draw. All I can tell you is I have had no issues with it or the company. It is quiet and sufficiently cools the v-berth and dinette areas of my Trojan 10.8 meter. I have never been to their location but...

    How long can you stay out on the hook in 30-42 ft boat?

    Ok, so here goes. I also have a 40 gal water limitation, my record on that is 2.5 weeks but that was alone and not on the hook just a very primitive "docking situation". MVWeebles has me pondering if its possible to develop a taste for seaweed/kelp salad....hmmm. I also have to wonder, if...

    Maybe not technically a Trawler, but thoughts? Silverton motor yacht

    Okay Okay, that's enough from the spark plug haters! I currently own two 454's and two Perkins. That being said I love them all (except when I stop for fuel). Reliability wise I don't see any difference. If maintained they each serve well. You pay the maintenance for gassers a little at a...

    Summer storage Ft Pierce area.

    River Forest is also a possibility in Stuart, but I think their pricing might be a bit...ambitious.

    Summer storage Ft Pierce area.

    Nope, not close to Ft. Pierce, but closer to Stuart than a lot of people realize. Just a thought.

    There is also Indiantown Marina.
