Get an endoscope. I was thinking aft shower sump but you said that was eliminated. How about a slow leak from aft shower supply lines.

A lot of products like that in the marine industry, I always try and find an alternative.

As a Merchant Mariner most of us use T-Mobile, They have best international plans and by far the cheapest domestic plans. Att international sucks both in voice and data and extremely expensive.

Yup, Megladon tooth, we find a lot of them in Fernandina beach. They can be quite valuable.

I have been using dryer sheets for years, keeps spiders and bugs in general away. I put them in all lockers and drawers and in vents etc.

I too would build the 74 if I hit the lottery, although I think a 60 foot would be a little more optimum for my needs. I have always liked the GH47's.

No I had no issues and my 24 year old year old at the time, Sentry battery charger worked fine with them.

Well, when I bought my boat 5 years ago, it needed batteries. It had 4 8d wet batteries. I replaced them with 4 Barracuda AGM's at a cost of a little over 2k. This fall they gave up the ghost and 4 new barracudas were now over 3500 bucks. Since my boat is all 120AC electric, as in stove...

You should be able to use them again as long as you don't mushroom them. That's where an actual pin punch comes in to play. If not they can be found in just about any hardware store, just make sure you get stainless steel. Also your ports may be Bomar.

I love that everyone is passionate about different brands, I have owned Wellcraft, Grady White, Bayliner, Californian and spent a lot of time on Trojans, Alglas, Ulrichson, Silvertons, SeaStar The latter owned b my Father. The one thing I do know is that a boat is only as good as the owner. If...

I am very surprised at the many different variations of both in interior and bridge layouts. I love my forward queen and even though I do not use the lower helm it allows me redundancy just in case.

I sail as a Merchant Mariner and most of us use T-Mobile as there International coverage and charges beats the crap out of any other carrier. I have seen signal as far as 20NM of the coast. I saw that in Iceland, England, Scotland, South Korea and the Philippines. No enhanced signal boosters. I...

I have posted many times about having DD's. I have 6-71TIB's. At 1100rpms and 8knots I burn 7 gph total.with a 15kw genny runny at about 30% load. At 1800 rpms I'm running 14 kts and burn 18 gph with genny. At 2000 rpms I'm running 20 kts. I don't have a fuel burn as I only do that for about...

Opinions are like .... well you know. Facts are facts. A lot of high hour engines, different brands all running well and then there are a lot of low hour engines all brands that have been grenades and have had issues. A few things I do know. I am a professional mariner and have come to love...

2 bucks a foot

Welcome Aboard.

Just curious to know how we fared in the wake of Irma. I am at Harbortown Marina at Atlantic Blvd and the Intercoastal. We did not lose any boats and very minimal damage to some canvas. I heard that Trout river was devastated and Beach Marine lost a lot of the floating docks.

I also would like to have that document. Thanks

KSanders, It is a Pompanette, Had the same one in my 3288. It spent 6 years in my garage. Only used the lower helm on that boat 3 times. On my current boat, I have never used the lower helm. On my work boat, we do not sit while on watch. 8 hours a day 7 days a week for 4 months at a time.

I have navigated pretty much all over the world both in the Navy and as a Merchant Mainer and unless you just happen to want to do a transpac or translant for bragging rights, more power to you. It's boring and you are on your own. I know a lot of people do it and good for them. I would just...

Yes have used them before, piece of mind is nice. Also have used them in the heads.

Just wondering what people are using and how are they set up? This could be for engine room and/or security. I would like a few wireless units to monitor things just in case.

I have a 1.5 gallon tank. It works well with my Groco Paragon Senior pump. 9 water outlets @40PSI. Bought it at Lowes for 39 bucks, Groco replacement was like 250, but defender has them for 174 bucks!!

Yes, Get your lines ready prior to getting to slip. Use your pylons tand rubrail to pivot off if needed. Once you get a routine down it really doesnt matter what slip you are pulling into. Some are easier than others. Also learn to read the wind and current. They are major factors in any docking...

Big fan of the Great harbor Tugs, If my budget ever allows it, I am ordering the GH74. Absolutely love the look and layout.
