Hi smitty. It also amazes me how the average boater does not know how to tie up at the Northport town dock. It is even better watching them try to climb the slippery ladders at low tide. Our 30 Pilot is captian blue with a white hardtop called 'Come on Eileen'. Give a shout if you see us on the...

Nice thread. The line many pages back about not going faster than you would want to hit the dock was preached to me by my dad as well years ago. Some times in windy and strong current conditions you must use more throttle than you want but you just see too many captains coming in too hard. The...

Our 2003 30' Mainship Pilot II has a Galvanic isolator. I would like to test it but have not located it. Anyone with a similar rig know where Mainship would have placed it? thanks regards Holty

Found the DEKA Intimidator 31AGM for $210 locally so I grabbed them. They are about 70 lbs each and it was no easy task pulling the old ones out and dropping the new ones in through the small door under the step down. Added a single on-off switch next to the step down to isolate one battery when...

Agreed David but there is only one on- off switch. A simple fix would be to isolate the battery with the single terminals with it's own on -off switch. regards Holty

So I found the Deka's for $175 locally. This rig does not have an A-B- Both battery switch only an on-off switch for both under the sink in the galley. Batteries appear to be wired in parallel. Will look into it further in the morning. regards Holty

So our new to us 2003 30' Mainship gets splashed next week. Had the two DEKA 8A27M AGM batteries on the charging system with shore (driveway) power over the winter. They seem to hold a charge with no problem. All winter the lights and stereo were used as I worked on making her our own. Ran the...

Shrew you are correct but...... I have an outdoor panel about 30' from the boat. I have an old 30a receptacle to match my shore power cord as well. I plan on using a 120v 15a electric heater inside on the cold days and still need to draw from the cabin receptacles for power tools. Same amount of...

Thanks for all the response. They are all good methods. Smitty we were at the Northport town dock a few times this fall and will surely be there next season as well. Early on I will be fluking Asharoken beach or bassing the triangle. As the weather warms you will find us stern into the beach at...

So RT you don't run the pink stuff through the water heater? You just drain it? Also not owning the boat for too long I am not sure what to make of the water manifold below the step down into the cabin. There is both red and blue lines entering and leaving this manifold. Should this be opened up...

So our new to us 2003 Pilot II 30 will be sitting in our driveway come this week. A frame will be made for shrink wrap with an entry so I can play inside over the winter. Lots of projects planned to make this girl our own. I will hook up a 30 amp circuit to connect to the shore power system so...

Thanks jskinner. regards Holty

On our last boat we had two fuel tanks as we now have on our 2003 30' Mainship pilot II. The old rig had valves for each tank that would allow you to draw from either tank.Each tank had it's own sending unit. On the console was a two position switch and one fuel gauge. The switch was used to...

I know I need to separate the two batteries or add a third that is isolated from the existing two. Just surprised that Mainship wired it up this way. Maybe they assumed most buyers would go for a generator allowing the charging system to do it's thing. regards Holty

So I have been investigating the systems on our new to us 2003 Pilot II. Our old rig (26 Shamrock) had a battery selector switch allowing you to draw from the house, starting or both batteries at the same time. The Pilot just has one single pole switch below the sink in the galley to switch on...

So after further review I think one of my Airmars is for the Raymarine depth and the other is Raymarine speed. The rig came from Maryland and I did not get a chance to check ducer through hulls before she was dropped in the water here in Huntington NY. I searched again and am convinced I do not...

So we are very much enjoying our new to us 2003 30' Pilot II. It came with a Garmin 2010C 10" color GPS/Plotter. This unit also has sonar capabilities with a GSD 20 module. The boat has three ducers. One Airmar for a small Raymarine depth, speed unit. One small transom mount ducer glued to the...

own a 2003 Pilot II. wondering what is below flooring in cabin between head and galley. Has anyone installed a hatch in this area? regards Holty

So It is what it is. The bank will not allow us to do it on our own. I feel like I have just had an appointment with Johnny Carson's doctor. You may recall his name was Al Bendova. Anyway next week I (we) will be behind the wheel of a mint condition Captain Blue 2003 Pilot II with a custom...

So we found a nice 30 Pilot II in Maryland and made a deal. 20% down and financing the balance over 15 years. Used a reputable boat broker for the financing and closed the deal today. At the closing the broker asked for $595- to have the documentation done. Not expecting this and not having...

Found the answer. For inquiring minds... solid glass below water line. Cored above. regards Holty

Would a 2003 30'Pilot II hull be cored or solid? Thanks regards Holty

We are close to purchasing a 30 Pilot II with a Garmin 2010 WAAS. Our old rig has a Humminbird 987C with about 100 waypoints. Will there be a way for me to transfer these or do I get out a pad and pencil?:o Give it to me slowly as I am a bit of a dinosaur. Thanks regards Holty

Looking for a marine surveyor in Annapolis MD area. thanks regards Holty

You can never go wrong with a woman's name on the transom. regards Holty
