    Do I dump my Siren Marine Alarm

    Siren Marine just went up on the subscription rate. From $180 to $225 a year. For others that don't know. Siren uses a cell connection and no other. Without it, its useless! OK, not a BIG jump but a this could never end and like most people/boaters we are already paying monthly fees. I have...

    Door matt, a stupid question!

    Pacific Trawler logo removal

But there is a clear plastic backing that is not coming off. I tryed a heat gun and a few solvents. No go. For something that is over 20 years...

    Before I go to a graphics place, I thought I would put this out there. I would like to replace the logo the side of the smoke stack/storage on the upper deck. Would any one know where I can get two of them?

I greased the shift and the housing. I must have tried about 10 times. Putting it in and out. Just to be clear, I did have the...

Cost $1,100 just change the motor out. Bolts right in! The next model does 212lbs of thrust, but everything needs...

    bow thruster rating

    I have a 40' trawler that is around 28,000lbs. I bought it with an SP55 thruster. At 12V should put out 147lbs of thrust. At the Newport Boat Show a few months ago I was told that it too small for my size boat. That I should go with a the SE80 with at 12v 212lbs of thrust. There is a SE60 but...

    Pacific Trawler 40 rudder seal

    This forum lead me on to which seal I need and thank you! Now I need to replace it. The rudder arm needs to come off and more. This is no problem and it looks very starlight forward. But looking at a short distance 18". The seal looks even with the top of the fiberglass post. So before I dive...

    Twin Disk oil

    I did read up on some past posting on this. But no brand names were mentioned. I called Twin Disk to be sure on the type of oil. They did say I could use a multi wight oil. Also that I could use synthetic oil, BUT I would have to change it ever 500hrs rather than every 1000hrs using...

    Boom Winch

    I can't find much on this so I thought I would ask here. I have a Pacific Trawler 40 with a boom to raise and lower my inflatable. A past owner installed a electric winch to raise and lower the inflatable but not the boom. Right now the boom is on a 3 to 1 pulley system that I manual have to...

    free Simrad IS15

    I installed at AP44 so the IS-15 that was not doing anything was removed. The last owner upgraded things and left it in. Overwise, there would be a hole in the helm. I don't know if it works or not and I have no way to test it. Just pay for the shipping and its yours! I was thinking that...

    Bomar hatches

    I have a 2001 Pacific Trawler. With that said, my Bomar hatch has stress cracks in it. I called Bomar, they gave me a part# for a new lens/glass. Cost was $300 I called Defender and ordered it. Well it came with 2 extra holes. Long story short in talking with Bomar, they never should have made...

    OK, I have another question. Where to buy new and I could be wrong on the terms, new hawes pipe cleats. Defender has the outer part and at a good price $54 but not the inner part. The best price I found was $165 and the inner or cleat part. I would like to replace all 6 of them on my boat...

    A warning using C-map with TZ

    I bought TZ Navigator last December. On Feb, 17th I added C-Map to it for $250. Now C-Map for your MFD is not the same format so its treated as two different products. A little disappointed but OK. On May 3rd I receive an e-mail that C-Map for Navigator has been updated. Unlike Garmin and...

    Garden hose for boat

    Another stupid question. :banghead: Almost every 2 years I would have to buy a new rubber/vinyl hose for washing the boat or adding water. The hoses would break down from the UV and leave marks. The hose, other than that was good. I tried the expendable ones, but the cloth breaks too after...

    Water filter

    Kind of a stupid question. I have a Seagull IV water filter from General Ecology. We do use it and we only use it from drinking and cooking. Just an FYI, there is also a UV filter and a cartridge before this filter too. I can't see us needing a new filter by the end of the season. This filter...

    I have a question on zincs. I bought my boat last year so all this is new to me. The past owner left me with two sizes of zincs. The smaller one comes from the heat exchanger that uses three of them. The bigger ones, I can not find them on the engine or in the service manual. Would anyone know...
