I can get about a thousand miles to my tanks . Isn't the Panama Canal extremely back up right now?

I'm just curious and hope this can lead into an interesting discussion, I have a 42 ft Grand Banks and currently in the Tennessee River system. Has any Looper ever took the trip whether it was north or south doesn't matter but ever took a trip that took them to Alaska? I have all the time in...

Any discounts by flying the new flag

So I have a 1987 41 ft trawler it was to my understanding that the trawler was a tiger Marine trawler. However when I run the hin I come up with: TRADE COMMISION OF NORWAY Anyone have any idea at all what that means? I'm trying to find out the history of my trawler and I went to do a both...

Thank you everyone I made it to Daytona using my twin screw for steering minimizing touching the steering wheel. I reviewed the manuals and see if I can figure it out again thank you for all the replies

Where would you find the bleeders and is it a bleeder per helm? I have a bad memory but I thought when they added the fluid back in February they just did the Turning of the wheel..

I swear the mechanic that added hydraulic fluid back in February must have been Clark Kent or maybe it's the fact that I'm a lefty and I really can't get arm strength to bust that nut loose as if I was right-handed it would probably have been more of a piece of cake it's just where that canister...

Okay so just crack that open add the hydraulic fluid close it and pressurize it till about 10 psi? Is that just to not let the upper Helm have enough pressure for it to leak out up there? One more question I'm trying to turn the Schrader system should it be turning counterclockwise to come off...

So the only thing else on top is was seen in the picture which is also the spot that you would pump the air pressure back into with an air pump. I did notice yesterday when this started even driving from the lower helm still had the upper Helm dripping right now my PSI is about 12 but I don't...

Also is there a way to rig it so I can get to my destination or am I just going to have to fill the hydraulic oil pressurize the system and add as needed if I get to where I'm going to get the part that I need?? I'm probably 8 hours away from my destination

In layman's term you're telling me that I add the hydraulic fluid by unscrewing the pressure gauge and putting the fluid in through there?

Have a 1987 tiger Marine crawler lower upper Helms I do not have the screw hole on the steering columns where you can add some quick hydraulic fluid and my pressure is low. I can see when I turn the upper steering wheel I have hydraulic fluid coming down underneath dripping and when I go to the...

I agree with you she needs a ceiling put back up in the rebirth couple hours work and the Bellows exhaust pipe in the Maine State Room needs to be concealed other than that she's a clean boat that just came off the hard from having a complete bottom redone this is about that you can just turn...

Actually I'm kind of looking to sell or trade her for a sailboat that's at least 40 ft so I'm trying to see what the value is for selling as well as possibly trading someone for their sailboat of comparable value

My Daughter is excellent at sewing and she is on the trawler so I'm gonna have her take the class and then i will work with her to learn. I told her I'd she gets good at it that can be her extra spending money for excursions. Might work or good...
