Each fuel filler has 2 90 degree turns so no way to get the probe in there. The discharge from the polishing rig could go in there though. To gain access to the top of the tanks, holes would have to be cut through custom cabinetry and setees. I hate to do that but may have to. The current...

I have a significant biomass problem in my stainless steel fuel tanks and I have no way to access the inside of the tanks without radical surgery. After an engine shutdown underway I pulled the pickup tube from the tank and it was completely stuffed with a 12" long biomass snake. The racor...

Boatmon where will you be getting your newly rebuilt from and what are they charging for one if you don't mind. I have the same engine and have always been curious.

WANTED - Garmin GPS 540 SD Card with East Coast Maps I have an older Garmin GPSMAP 540 in my fly bridge. It does not have any charts but has an SD slot. Does anyone know where I can get East Coast maps for this unit on a SD card? I hate to pull the unit out and replace it if I can get the...

Same thing happened to me on the main engine intake and the generator intake. Here on the southern chesapeake bay we have to clean barnacles and oysters monthly.

I have not worked with the 8 brait rode. I opted for the Lewmar 3 strand with 20' of chain. This has been satisfactory for my current use. I have had no issues with it feeding in and out of the winch and it packs nicely in the chain locker. Later on when the need arises in three years, I'll...

My bad - I said I bought our HRC FF 8 from Hodges. I actually found a better price at WMJ Marine and bought it there. $799.00 https://www.wmjmarine.com/shrc8.html?msclkid=065ea75514a81b99a87cfb8cc38c5280

I installed the HRC FF 8 over the winter and it has been fantastic. I shopped and researched until I was dizzy. The Maxwell has more power and better construction than anything I could find in its price range. It was also Practical Sailors top pick. I also bought mine at Hodges. We use it...

We strive to keep it simple so we have a single burner Origo/Dometic alcohol stove which is portable. We also use a microwave and a stern-rail mounted Magma grill. Also a 4 pot coffemaker. That is all we need so far.

I have a rotary selector switch. My current procedure is to start the generator, turn off AC devices, disconnect the AC 30 amp main breaker, turn selector switch from Shore to Ship, engage the 30 amp main breaker, then bring up AC devices one by one. This thread is a good reminder to be slow...

I just checked - it is Shore-Off-Ship... Whew! I will follow HiDHo's procedure. Great information. Thanks!!

psneeld - it definitely is Shore Both Ship and it looks original. Since the boat is 45 years old it may be that the boat originally didn't have a generator. There is a separate Ac/Dc switch.

Seadog are you switching to generator (Ship) before or after you have started the Genny?

What is the proper sequence for switching from shore power to Genny? I have a selector switch with three positions: Shore - Both - Ship This on a 1974 vintage boat with diesel genny.

Winty is one of my favorites. A must watch if you have a Ford Lehman 120.

For those of you who have painted teak what paint did you use and what was the color? Does anyone have any pictures of the results? I have painted interior teak with success using Topside paint.

"True story. I had an employee that insisted on answering the main company phone line by saying Ahoy. She would not stop doing it. I had to fire her. She wouldn’t leave. Finally had to be removed by the police. Honest true story." Should have used the "Abandon Ship" command......

We are considering having flybridge skirting made for our boat but before we do we wanted to know what the purpose of the skirting is? We have always thought it looked nice on other boats but is there an actual purpose to it? Also what materials are people using? Sunbrella or sun shading...

Wouldn't the service station diesel just mix with the off-road red diesel and lighten the tint. I can't imagine it would completely separate and show up as clear in your filter?? I am wondering is there is any way you could have gotten confused when filling your water tank and put the water...

This is what I use and it is great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJUE88U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How did this topic go from Composting Toilets to Cats??:offtopic:

I just pulled a Raritan Electric Elegance out to replace it with an Airhead composting. No more pump outs, hose replacements, clogged hoses, high energy draw, or water usage. Simplicity is the way to go - fix less and enjoy more.

The diatamacious Earth is composed of sharp crystals that cut the bug larva when stirred into the compost. I use a duster and dust it into the mix. All it does is kill the larva.

Just added one over the winter to our Marine Trader 34. I did a lot of research and felt the Maxwell HRC8 was a great windlass at a great price. Couldn't be happier with it! https://www.wmjmarine.com/shrc8.html?msclkid=065ea75514a81b99a87cfb8cc38c5280
