    Why 220V?

    I appreciate the replies and while it does appear that there is a slight advantage to be gained by using smaller gauge wire a 110v 16K BTU unit puts out the same as a 220V 16K BTU unit. The 220v pumps and units are more expensive and less available than than the 110v units. In my case I have a...

    Why 220V?

    Its been a while since I've posted anything and it's clear nobody missed me. I bought a 2008 Ocean Alexander 48e June 2022 and sold my beloved Eagle 40 to a couple in Green Cove Springs Florida. She has a really good home now! Yes I bought at the absolute top of the market, maybe even a little...

    Who has/uses AIS?

    I’ve had a tx/rcv on my last 2 boats. Find it very helpful on overnight nearshore runs past ports like Charleston and Savannah. Also fishing boats which may or may not maintain a proper watch are easily avoided if they have their unit on. I vote you get one. Steelydon

    Rudder Appendage

    Steve, I am certainly far from a naval architect. However, I think it would be easier to reach the size of your existing runners by adding flat stainless to them.

    Rudder Appendage

    Imagine my surprise when I saw that my eagle 40 was the subject of a topic. I appreciate the comments that have been made regarding the appendage and would like to make a few comments of my own. When I first bought the eagle the marina that I kept it in had very narrow fairways. About 50 feet...

    Single engine, raised pilothouse trawler wanted

    Geoff, I purchased an Eagle 40 in 2015 and had it trucked from CT to NC. The cost was reasonable at that time, $5,540.00. The company was Express Boat Transport which is no longer in businessI had to remove the flybridge and mast. This was done by myself and my broker in less than 3 hours. The...

    Buying bolts without getting screwed

    I buy local as well with Barbour Marine in Beaufort NC. I ran into an independent sales rep last week who indicated his wholesale pricing was increasing over 100% on last shipment. He reps for Taiwan fasteners and indicated they manufactured up to 80% of SS fasteners used in the USA. Based on...

    Generator Exhaust Issue

    A friend of mine unaware of the days events asked me what the funky smell was. I replied it is a mixture of diesel exhaust, plastic and stupidity. Don

    Generator Exhaust Issue

    I have come to believe my life is a cautionary tale for you guys. So there I was On Saturday working on the boat, what else. (new blinds, HVAC high pressure error, wind speed sensor) you get the picture. It was a beautiful day but a little brisk but hey the first sunshine in over a week i...

    Bow Thruster vs Stern Thruster

    The reason that sailing channels on youtube are so popular is that so often sailors insist on doing things the hard way with very entertaining results. (I am a reformed sailor). I guess we like to see other boaters problems instead of our own. Some folks on this forum like to dismiss others for...

    Any ideas? Can-->US purchase with a side of Covid

    I know nothing about buying and selling across international borders however I do on an eagle 40 which I purchased in 2015. Personally I think but the boat has beautiful lines and the extension of the whole sides around the deck adds a level of security when moving around outside. The Cummings...
