    Second endorsement to Compass Marine and their"Bed-It" butyl tape. Also available from Hamilton Marine. About $19 a roll and is worth every cent. Unlike the black automotive tape, this stuff doesn't make a mess during install.

    Pilot House Window Weather Seals

    Pick up the phone and call Diamond Sea Glaze in British Columbia and ask them. They are the manufacturer of your windows. Replacing the interior rubber seals may require removal of the window to enable the seal to be properly fitted.

    Selling a boat with a broker questions

    Think about where the boat is moored and how close the broker is to the boat. Don't pick a broker in Florida who specializes in Trawlers and expect him to actively show a boat in Washington. Don't expect other brokers to go out of their way to view or show a boat that isn't their own listing...

    interior spaces on trawler types

    I don't believe American Tug offers a 29 foot boat. Their current models are 36', 39', 43' and 48'. I think the Ranger Tug comes in a 29 foot model.

    Forced Air Diesel Heater

    Thank you all. We will not be spending time cruising in 20 degree F weather but certainly at 30F. We had a Dickinson wall hung unit on a DeFever 44 a number of years ago and enjoyed it when it was working but found the morning ritual of wadding up Kleenex to light it and waiting for forty five...

    Forced Air Diesel Heater

    Our new boat, a Pacific Trawler 37, came from Florida by way of Tennessee. She has two Marinaire air conditioners and no effective heating. The reverse cycle on the air conditioners only barely works to heat the boat and requires more shore power amps than my marina slip can provide. We will...

    Which is better - WiFi or 4G?

    There is very limited 3G or 4G service north of Cape Caution in British Columbia, essentially at Shearwater, some of the first nations settlements and Prince Rupert. Same goes for WiFi connectivity beyond the various marinas in the Broughtons. We have found roaming charges to be costly. Our...

    mooring buoys and maximum length & cruising speed

    There Is no standard size restriction on state or provincial buoys. Some may be as little as 30 feet. Some could be limited to two vessels of 28 feet. Others may be 45 feet. You need to read the markings on the buoy to make sure your boat is within the stated limit. Enforcement depends upon the...

    Great Lakes Trawler 33

    My wife and I have owned hull number 7 of the Ontario Yachts, Ltd Great Lakes 33. Ours is a 1981 with a Volvo TMD40A. We have had her for eleven years. The boats are very high quality, Canadian built vessels. They are balsa cored, not foam. There is nothing inherently wrong with cored hulls...

    Galaxy Tab vs BlueChart app

    I have installed the Navionics Marine & Lakes HD app on my Nexus 7. Cost was less than $60 and includes access to off line charts for all the US and Canada. You do need to be online to initially download your specific cruising areas but once accomplished you don't need internet or 3G access to...

    Storm Damaged Vessels

    Good advice all, thanks. I think finding a surveyor who is isn't friends with either the owner or the listing broker and have him do a preliminary visit to the boat is the best approach to qualifying a boat from the opposite side of the country.

    Storm Damaged Vessels

    If I was interested in an east coast or gulf coast boat is there any way to determine, upfront, if the boat has suffered storm damage? I would imagine a survey would point out concerns but surveys come after an offer is made and accepted. Are brokers obligated to tell a buyer "yeah, she ended...
