    A word of caution

    I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I feel the need to share an experience. I recently posted on the general classified that I was looking for a replacement remote for my Garmin autopilot. Today I received a private message from a user suggesting that I contact someone that...

    Wanted: Garmin GHC10 Remote

    It might be repairable. That is one thing I am working on, but still looking for a replacement. Thanks

    Wanted: Garmin GHC10 Remote

    I agree, the planned obsolesce of things is more than frustrating. I am looking at some workarounds but not there yet. I appreciate the suggestion of the watch on EBAY.

    For Sale: Westerbeke Heat Exchanger

    The raw water lines on mine are both out of the same side, this one has them out on opposite sides. I probably could have resolved that, but the freshwater connections are centered and mine are offset. The centered location conflicted with the water pump belt.I considered rotating it, but then I...

    Wanted: Garmin GHC10 Remote

    The batteries leaked in my Garmin GHC10 autopilot remote and it is not working. They are discontinued and no longer available through Garmin. I am looking for a replacement. Please PM me if you have one that you are willing to part with. Thanks

    For Sale: Westerbeke Heat Exchanger

    I have a heat exchanger for a Westerbeke 7.7 diesel generator. I ordered the wrong one based on information from the previous owner's documentation. I painted it and am unable to return it. This is a new unit, never installed. It is a Sen-Dure model 3618-1-7 which is a replacement for a...

    Pot Keepers

    We did check with Furrion, the stove manufacturer and they, unfortunately, did not/do not make pot keepers. So, we had to do an after-market solution. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Pot Keepers

    I thought that I would provide a quick update. I installed pot keepers yesterday. I ordered the holders online. I made rails from angles that I found at a local salvage yard - a 3 ft. piece of 1" alum angle was $3. The rails purchased online are about $80 each and the way they mounted wouldn't...

    Need Advice and Help with trawler purchase

    VanBrudenship, We lived in the Denver area for about 12 years all the time having a boat in Florida. We moved to Denver from the Fort Lauderdale area for work and had a boat when we lived in FTL and kept her but eventually moved her to the Tarpon Springs area. At that time we had a 31' express...

    Pot Keepers

    I have a plan. My biggest issue/concern is the single center burner. I ordered a set of arms that will work for the two rear burners. Longer arms for the front burner are not made or available. Once I see how the arms are made I will work on a longer set for the single burner - I will likely...

    Pot Keepers

    The stove is a Furrion. I have been on their website and they do not show any pot keepers or rails. It is probably worth a call. Thanks

    Pot Keepers

    Thanks again for all of the insight and help. I don't think that the surveyor was trying to be nit-picky or create issues. I had the opportunity to be with him during the survey and he seemed to thoughtfully identify and discuss his concerns. This is not our first vessel or survey and as...

    Pot Keepers

    Thanks, everyone for the suggestions and help. I cannot find rails and holders for this make of stove, they don't seem to be made. I did find one generic style that looks like the rail mounts through the countertop, that may be the solution. Here are a couple of pictures at anchor on Tampa Bay...

    Pot Keepers

    We are the recent new owners of a 44' DeFever. We have had her for about a month and are enjoying her. There were a few things that popped up in the survey that we need to take care of, some just basic good sense and some mandated by the insurance company. But in general nothing too major. One...

    32 Volt System

    Thank you all for the responses, I appreciate the input and advice. My takeaway is that I should not be overly concerned about a 32-volt system, but I will need to educate myself on it. Thanks again and have a great weekend.

    32 Volt System

    We are looking for our next vessel and are seeing some that we think would meet what we want, but a couple have 32-volt DC systems. These are a little older boats and usually Hatteras. My question has to do with the availability of parts and the ability to maintain 32-volt systems. I realize...
