Use Permetex Urethane caulk. Comes in a blue and orange tube from Home Depot. Sounds crazy, but it cleans with mineral spirits, is white, sticks like stink. Not sure about plexiglass. Go to my blog, grandbankschoices, and see the process. I did 22? windows. It will never need to be done again...

Should be the same, mine were.

I think they are Red Devil, small peanut shaped.

I used a heat gun and a peanut scraper. Go to my blog, grandbankschoices, and dig around and find the write up. A heat gun is fastest but you must be careful or you can toast the wood. Scraper must be kept sharp. I bought about six cause they would get so hot they would melt in my hands. Use...

We too have decided to sell and try other things. I will restore several cars that I have bought for just this occasion. Good luck Ted. As many mistakes as your making there are not near as many as the other guys. Mike

The only thing not on an inverter is the AC. We converted everything to DC. House runs off an 8D. We have a generator, but could live without it.

Well, your going during hurricane season. That means you need to have enough boat to get to the US no matter what the sea state. I liked Chubb and Fresh Creek. The kids will go nuts. You could have issues with dogs. Be prepared to fish everytime you move the boat. Don't hesitate to hire a local...

I do not. I did size my refer with capacity to freeze it. My top loading can get so cold it freezes shut. Have silicone the gasket.

It is hard to diagnose because they fail gradually. It had not been replaced when I bought boat. Engine was noisy at idle, a lot of rocker clatter. Once changed, very easy, engine room noise cut in half.

New marine units are under $2k. And they can be installed in salon under a seat. Works for us.

We have a 5.5 kw Northern Lights. Perfect for the boat. I converted everything to DC and run a small inverter for appliances. Only thing on genset now is battery charger and AC. Could easily get by with 4 kw.

Everfor, why not write that up and post it for archives?

Take Drive Saver off, sldie shaft up till it makes with the tranny flange, and then align. If flange is not smooth you will need to rotate it around till all looks good on feeler gauge. Motor mounts are a cheap fix, and well worth it. Go to grandbankschoices, and dig around and find where I...

What kind of boat? Gotta give us a chance.

No way I would get on a 32 or 36 with 12 people unless they were Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. The boat is great for fishing but slow, so distance covered will be small. The inside will be nice compared to similar sportfisher. A 36 sedan is rare.
