After over a year of chasing this same problem I'm at the same conclusion as you. I tried an inexpensive method but although the system works OK I'm not totally happy with it. For starters with the boat on my swim platform it gets really dirty as my exhaust is just under water at the port...

They are an induction transformer that keeps your boat isolated from the shore power circuit. When you plug into shore power you are connected by the power lines to every other boat on the circuit. So if someone has a dissimilar metal problem or a ground problem you in essence have the effects...

Glad you said that. Not really I do have other things to do today. Went to your site. The first two feature boats were a 1999 Carver and a 1972 Hatteras 38 DC. Went to Yacht World. You may have hear of them. Searched Carver 1999-2000, 45' Diesels. The least expensive one was in Pickwick...

Drug testing is a bigger problem than skill sets. When Hyundai built the plant in Mountgemery AL they went through five people before they could hire one.

My guess as well. Mainships were built with Charles Isolators. They are big transformers inside. There should be two of them one for each leg. My 2006 has them but I'm not sure if the 2004's did or not.

Anything and that's the truth.

Now my guess and it is only a guess is she "don't need no stinkn life jacket." One breath should last her all day I would think.

My thought is that it's something in the rain that is causing it.

That's a work of art on it's own. If I had made anything that looked that good out of wood I'd stain it and hang it on the wall in my living room.

Exactly. And where is it that you find all of these cash buyers. Because any loan company wants a survey and we are back to square one when the survey comes from Mr. Overzealous. Oh I know where the cash buyers are. In FL they are paying 50% of the real value. Now I get it.:banghead:

But they couldn't be on Eric's "Willy". He doesn't have a bow rail for them to hold onto. See bow rails do have a function.

I agree with everything you said. But I thought the point that was being made was that sometimes an overzealous surveyor can write up some dumb up grade and cause either a buyer to go south or an insurance company to require unnecessary up grades. In my example you would have lost the sale due...

i think they are moving it so we can't find it. Somewhat like Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls. "The only permanent floating crap game in Detroit." as the song goes.

Go work on your boat. It needs you.

We have a built in. I thought I was going to like it. Well the hose is like fighting a 30' Anaconda every time I use it. Also storing the hose is a PIA. I'm sure the snake would at least slither off and find it's own hole.

Get real. So a $300k boat in NC is selling for $175k in FL. Wow. :banghead: Tucker you need to move or get the listings and send them up here for me to sell. Easy pickings.

The top line of Sunbrella has a fine finish on the inside. This promotes mildew in some regions. The lighter colors seem to get it more than the darker ones do.

We were there in Spirit. Did we have fun??

It looks like she is protected from the cold water and you as well.

Mark, I'm sure that the damage can be real. It is a lot like slaming into a wall at 50MPH so as you can go backward. A lot easier to slow down then go the other direction. Think about the twisting force on the shafts inside the transmission, the prop, the drive shaft. Even though the damper...

So I'll play Devil's Advocate here. You have your GB Europa for sale. And the prospective buyer gets me to survey his new purchase. I come aboard and see that in some places you are compliant with the ABYC's "new rules". But in most of the other wiring being as you have had nothing to...

Rest assured that your gear box has clutches just like the automatic transmission in your car has them. They are in what is called a clutch pack and are either engaged, which means compressed together or not engaged which then allows the engine to turn without transmitting power to the out put...

I will be down to New Bern on the 26th and can come to Oriental on the 26th or 27th if needed. Only a 30 minute run from our boat by car. You could bring the boat to New Bern for Christmas and dock at the face dock. It would be great to meet up with you.

You notice I removed you. The Admiral makes the hat way more acceptable.:)

Don't be so sure about this. I'm just saying. You might be in for a shock if you found out who is really doing it. So when your friends leave You might just borrow the ugliest broke down piece of crap boat and paint it some obnoxious color of day - glow pink or green. Tie that puppy up to...
