    Propane Bottle Location Requirements

    I have been sitting back watching this unfold. Here is what happens when a surveyor puts something in that is pure bogus. This is fact and not something that was told to me over a drink at the bar. When I bought my 1990 Hunter 40' sailboat it was in South FL. The boat looked good so I...

    Over Powered Boats

    The original hulls that got the steps off of the transom or in fact through the transom were referred to as a sugar scoop. Like the one mom had in the big bin of flour or sugar. They added water line under sail.

    Hard Bottom Paint

    So let me see if I understand. Using that logic don't brush your teeth everyday because it makes it easier for your dental hygienist to keep your teeth clean and she needs to earn her money. Makes sense to me. If it makes it easier for your diver then it must be working. Am I missing...

    Hard Bottom Paint

    We have used the Pettit Trinidad SR as well. We are in the same marina as Skinny Dippin. Our last sailboat was three years when we hauled it and it had three barnacles on the whole bottom. Stella now has 2.5 years and will need to be done this spring.

    Seats (looking for swivel barrel seats)

    Has anyone run across this particular chair in their travels? I would love to see one in person or get the name of the builder.

    Aqualarm Wet Exhaust Overheat Alarm

    I agree, 200* is probably a good temp. I was responding to the one sighted not recommending 150*.:) The Borel at twice the price uses 175* compared to the Aqua alarm. But I'm sure 200* would be plenty of time for one to react. But before or at least at the same time I got to get around to...

    Aqualarm Wet Exhaust Overheat Alarm

    From what the Therm O Disc site says the circuit is closed up to 150 and opens at 150 Close again at anything below 115. So the circuit is supplying a Grd to the oil pressure switch the same as the as the oil pressure does switch. Not sure how that would work unless the Grd to the oil indicator...

    Satisfied with your railings?

    Railings Mainship has done a pretty good job for a production boat. 1 1/4" stainless above the gunwale and all the way around the exposed upper deck. Upper deck comes to the waist and the lowers are a bit higher. Strong and bases are well mounted.

    single vs dual engines

    Were not both of the problem relays supplied by Yanmar? The one relay has been a problem with the 4JHT series Yanmar for over 15 years now. Ask Hunter Marine how many sailboats had the same problem. Now if we want to discuss why Yanmar over something else that is a different issue. But there...

    Humor

    Seems to cover a lot of breeds. Some just are not big enough to enforce the rules.

    PNW boaters...varnish, Cetol or oil?

    Agree 200%. It does take a bit of a skill set but the more you use the product the better you get. Also as you will learn you will have a redo in the first year at a couple of spots. The trick we found was that if you let the redo spot go to long it gets harder to re do. So jump up and do the...

    Another one bites the dust...

    Now this makes less sense. The Vinson has to go to Norfolk to have reactor work done and the E has to got to Bremerton to have reactor removal done. But let's be clear I'm not disparaging the E just the system. Al Thanks for thr reminder.

    More profitable I'm sure but for whom. Who tows these ships the Navy or some sub contractor. Let me guess.

    Another one bites the dust...

    So am I to understand that if she were off the coast of Seattle and somehow she had a mishap with another vessel which destroyed some of her gear as described she would have to sail to Norfolk to be repaired. Bremerton couldn't do it? The point being sail her to the west coast and dismantle...
