    Boom tender lift

    For those interested I replaced the cheek blocks which seems to have solved the problem. Although the original cheek blocks are rated at 560 pounds the bearings are loose and tend to bind.

    Boom tender lift

    The system is rated according to beneteau at 270 pounds. I figure there is some level of safety on that so 180 pounds would be well within the ability.

    Boom tender lift

    I have a 2015 44ST. While lifting a 190 pound tender with motor it is very creeky, sounds like there is just too much strain on the blocks or system. Does anyone have experience with this. I am thinking of upgrading the two lower cheek blocks which are rated at 540 pounds. Not sure why else...

    Bigs fish. Just wondering about your comment regarding wind. I'm heading back from key west this week. They are calling for east to NE winds 20 kts Would it likely to be much calmer taking the gulf route?

    Jacksonville to Naples

    Crossing the lake is a worthwhile trip. It's different in a good way.

    I'm a bit confused. When you say Gulf Side and back country. Leaving from Marathon what's the difference.

    The charts still show a route that has StMiles. Looks pretty good except for one spot close to Big Spanish Key. Is this the route you said not to take? Is so why?

    Back country through Jew fish. Have you gone all the way to key west?

    Thanks I appreciate comment. Looking at the charts I assume you go through Dusenberry creek and Bowles Cut. Seems like there is really one common route.

    I plan on cruising from Biscayne Bay to Key West in a 44 ft trawler with 42" draft. Does anyone have any knowledge on if there are any problem areas including Dusenberry creek and Bowles Cut? Appreciate your help.
