Coolant disposal/recycle Any suggestions for the disposal/recycle of used coolant?

Rialto marina? I thought I had heard the Realto marina had closed. The owner was going cruising. Can anyone verify this?

Krogen pilothouse window strut Hi Keith, Did you ever get the struts installed? How did they work? Can you give me the manufacture and model. Thanks, Glenn

Paravane question Are the paravane's original to the boat or did you install them? Who is the manufacture?

Our boat has a Vetus*electric bow thruster powered off the house deep cycle battery bank via a 15' (guesstimate) cable.* This does not seem a very efficient set up.* Wouldn't starter type batteries be more suited for the application? If so, how do you size the batery bank?* Thinking about...

Standard poodle.* Smart, friendly, non-shedding, agile to get on and off boat, water dog.* Awesome buddy.

What do you use to mark your anchor rode and what kind of marking?

Hi Scott, We used the service of William Gladding in Jacksonville to survey a 1987 Krogen 42 I don't know how far he travels. We recommend his service very highly. We are newbies. He were present during the entire process. He was very patient in helping us understand how the various systems...

Does an AC/DC fridge automatically switch power sources?

I am concerned that an airsep system would create a path for a potential runaway situation. Creating a path between the crankcase and the air intake, isn't this a possibility? On another subject, how effective is the fuelsep system? Thanks, Glenn

There are a couple of possible downsides to an island berth on a Krogen 42. You lose a head in that arrangement. Sure is nice to have his and her heads. Also makes for a nice backup when the inevitable head problem appears.

Hi Scott, We have the arrangement you described.* I am 5'9", my wife is 5'4".* Plenty of room for us. She sleeps aganst the hull.* Since I like to get up at nite that works out best.* The bed is a bit high and we use a stool to climb in.* Not having access to the hull side makes a little more...

Thanks Keith, You seem to be the only other Krogonite on the site , although I do see comments from Molly Blossom* occasionally.* Nice hearing from you. The strut only allows the window to go to about 45 degrees.* I am sure this is not OEM, so I have no idea what characteristics OEM had.*...

The center pilothouse window on my Krogen 42 has two lift struts.* When the window is in the open position the bottom of the window frame is right in the midddle of my line of sight.* I have looked for a strut with a longer throw, but have not had any success.* I am also concerned that if I get...

Hi Keith, I sent an email to Bristol Bronze and they indicated they have it in various widths in 6' and 12' lengths.* Have not ordered it as I am shopping for a cheaper alternative.* Take care, Glenn

Thanks for the reply. Jamestown does not carry it. The only new source I have found is "Bristol Bronze". Afraid to ask the cost+shipping. The boat is in FT. Myers. I am in Virginia. I think the width is 1.5 inches and 6' long. I would need to check to ensure a match with the existing.

Thanks again everyone. The engine runs great. We moved her 600 miles after purchase withou a hiccup. Starts immediatly. Burns 2.5 gals per hour @ 1800 rpm. No oil consumption. We had the tanks pumped and cleaned and fresh 700 gallons (ouch) of fuel. Treated fuel with a Valvetec fuel additive...

Thanks for everyone's input. The boat is new to us so we are learning its quirks. The boat is a Krogen 42 with a 135hp Lehman (no turbo). It has about 2600 hours. Max rpm 2550 under load. Never tried full throttle without load (afraid to try). Sat unused for about 6 years before our...

Is there a way to keep soot off the transom? If not, can anyone recommend cleaning product? Best regards, Glenn

Anyone know a source of bronze rub rail?* I have a six foot section missing and want to match the existing.* Thanks

Thanks for the input everyone.* I was actually thinking of purchasing the A200.* It is only about 10% lighter than the S140 ( almost the same as the S120) but has about 50% more surface area, as this seems to be important as well.** Great discussion.* Thanks.

Hi Keith, I am a new Krogen 42 owner as of May. A new spade anchor is on my wish list. What size and composition spade do you use? I was thinking of buying the aluminum version to get the the largest surface area for the weight. Thanks for the reply. Glenn
