    Towing a small fishing skiff?

    Try it. I towed a 19 Grady White while between RIB’s for a year or so. Get floating braided line and using a cleat always worked for me on a Mainship 390. If you want to go faster, put someone in the towed vessel. Same for inside a marina.

    390 leak Before you do too many tests check the fore and aft washdown faucets. A whack on the faucet will delay the need for immediate repairs.

    2000 Mainship 390 Water pipe on bow near anchor

    I installed a 110 volt pressure washer above the bow thruster, connected to water and ran a quick connect for the washer up to panel where the washdown is. I used fresh water as the flow rate is low. Great to wash anchor.
