Cleaning Racor 900 I changed my fuel filters (see photos below), and decided to give the Racor unit a clean too - for no particular reason. Have owned the boat for about 7 months now and put maybe 60 hours on the engines. 48 of those hours were non-stop from San Francisco to San Diego (480...

What a great adventure! Good luck, and safe passage.

Closing the loop With my Allstate boat insurance being cancelled, I searched around, and some of my findings were: - Geico are not interested, - Red Shield only insure in the Northwest (Oregon, Washington), - The Marsh Rep said they won't insure assets individually, and only write 'bundle...

And here we are a decade later! I have the exact same portlights as Forkliftt on the new to me 1986 Ponderosa 47. Mine are serviceable, but need new gaskets. The gasket profile is square with a round hole in the middle making them hollow. The gasket sides are 3/16" in width. 10 years later...

The Letter from Allstate Not so good at this attaching business, but I believe I got it now... Here is the letter I received.

Hello Everybody, I'm an annoying Newbie and got my new to me Trawler insured with Allstate earlier this month when I bought the boat. Yesterday in the mail I received a lovely letter from Allstate stating they are now cancelling my insurance due to the age of the boat. I feel bad for the old...
