I just got quoted about $350 for a 4x8x1/2 sheet of Starboard. And they won't sell a half sheet..........

Wife used to have problems picking up moorings. I made her a rebar hook with a deep narrow throat & a line attached. Put it on the end of a boat hook tube with a lot of tape on the rebar, & jammed in the end of the tube. Wife hooks buoy holds onto pole captain backs down w / line cleated off...

If you cut thru cape may or not, give Brigantine Shoal a lot of respect.

Well, once you pay for the little Uline motor thing that goes bad, you'll go to something else. And NOTHING ELSE works in them , gotta buy theirs

If you decide on a bigger thru hull, I have an all bronze 1.5" thru hull AND check valve to sell. Plus an ell & a couple nipples all together.

Well, if price is a consideration, I'd look for a Detroit Diesel. With your vessel age, you could do it. They are going reasonable now since they have been "outlawed". Parts avail all over the world, helluva engine. Good thing that smog from other countries still using them doesn't come over here.

Watched a couple of videos on how to DIY. I think I can handle it, and I am in possession of a free unit. But there are 2 schools of repair, using LEDs and original CFLs. CFLs are what fails, and the LED proponents have their points. But for anyone who went to LEDs is the screen backlight...

A knowledgeable friend and I are still flogging this thing not starting. Found several small things, but none affecting a start. Fuel system apart, and even tho I could swear I saw injectors vaporizing, not happening now. PLENTY of fuel being delivered to inj pump (note- not priming pump its...

Even better are Beerglasses at anchor

Or you can look for Total Plastics Inc in your area. They will make for you any tint you like. Here in Baltimore they do a lot of bulletproof....

The question is whether you want to put on an old style Decal. On a flat surface that's easy. Soapy water & a squeegee. The new "wrap" material is harder to apply, but can be pulled off and repositioned a few times.

Tks. On a second search, I found a thread that flogged this to death. I'm good!

I see many sportfish-type boats that have their gen exhaust out thru an engine exhaust port, plumbed in ahead. I really don't want another thru hull if I can avoid it. I'll be using a water lift muffler. Input requested pls. Part 2 If I do another thru hull, any reason it has to be bronze...

I did. But because of all the BS they keep coming up with to keep it. CPR. ARPA, KMAES&D, ETC No, but a long offshore on a new-to-owner trip has unexpected happenings. Remember, unpaid. Besides, he didn't want to make the trip wo a working shower. What a candy-a$$

As a licensed Captain, I once declined an (UNPAID) invitation to bring a 43 Vike from Fladda to MD with the owner/friend . I was concerned that as the most knowledgeable person onboard, even though not acting as "Captain" I would be liable.

For those of you who have chimed in above, pls address price.

I use a mix of acetone and trans fluid. Of course you could try urinating on it for some heat......

It's called Phelps because it took a swim. On land." Oh, what is this little plug"?. After 10 yrs on the hard, I bought it. Don't wanna clutter this thread , look up my posts.

What is the main difference between a Harley motorcycle and a hoover vacuum? The way the dirt-bag mounts on the machine. However Harley has the advantage here because it can mount TWO dirt-bags........

Geez. Everybody thinks I'm nuts for buying Phelps, but with a lotta help here on the forum it's gonna splash in maybe a week. I gotta admit the gloss is off the ownership after 5 months.

Well, Ebay comes up with 3. Would not come up with "PAR water pump belt". Pricey little devil. Tks, I'll keep looking w that number

Can't find one on Ebay. Anyone got a source? This is the cogged belt for the plunger type pump.

Here's a pic of you can blow it up. I'll check it out, but all the things cast into the block do not indicate that. We are copulating with a dead horse (power, literally) here. Let's set the engine aside. I have to determine if the gen end is good before I put another dime or minute in the...

When I plug one w the gauge, air comes out at the other. With my finger on one( not gauge) I feel nothing. So tell me why I see compression using the inj holes on each cyl (maybe 100 lbs) with the glow plugs in?

If the glow plug in a chamber is in the cylinder (not in common manifold like my Onan) , when the piston comes up it should show compression. The injector is in. Gauge does not move at all. Other cyl injector is in. Plug is out. Lots of air coming out. Now if the glow plug was in a common...
