The good thing is that no one seems to have gotten hurt so another way to look at this is that 10 years from now it will make for great bar talk. Of course there will be at least nine different versions as to how and why it happened depending on who is telling the story. Like any story there...

Next time you are coming through let us all know. There are several folks on this site that are a short distance from Oriental and a couple that are right there in Oriental. We really don't need much of an excuse to have a party. Right Bess.

Agree.

My guess is that the person that told you they were looking out for toy boats would refer to a 65' Trawler like in your picture as a toy boat as well. It is all in their frame of reference. 1,000' RoRo and a 90' working or pleasure boat. Both the same as far as the big ship is concerned...

I think the Costa Concordia just had some experience doing almost the exact same thing. They didn't fair as well.

Wow, so many one liners could come from this grounding. The Black Duck. Really! A training vessel runs aground. So does that mean they all have to go back to class of some sort? Did they all fail? To be fair it says it was a clear day. Did she have a mechanical failure? Maybe they...

Here is the Mainship site: Mainship Trawlers - http://www.mainship.com - A Division of Marlow-Hunter, LLC. It is maintained by Marlow and they will help with parts when they can. Contact: Breeden Eddie (aftersales@marlow-hunter.com) Also that I know of there were no stern drives in the...

Let us not forget Capt Ron "if it's going to happen it's going to happen out there" Also let's remember they were all actors and none of them believe that BS.

Have seen some of these, but this is really a funny list. Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Give him religion and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. Timothy Jones When the white missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let...

I sent this to you because I know you're interested in finance. TO MY FINANCIALLY FOCUSED FRIENDS: The Question of the Day is.... Will the Dollar fall or not? Always Remember, The Key to Financial Survival is to be a Tight Ass "THIS MESSAGE IS SENT OUT OF FRIENDSHIP" AND CONCERN...

So let me see if I understand this. The water vapor in the air is going to displace the film of oil on the bearing journal to the point it will be detrimental on start up. Couple of things come to mind. Chicken fat or lard can stick to the bottom of a fry pan in the sink under water (not...

Thanks The new replacement Deckhand Dimmer 7507 and 7508 will also work with the LED's as well. http://bluesea.com/files/resources/sales_sheets/DeckHand-Dimmer.pdf Thanks again

If only that were true. But they do have the expertise and they are the largest boat diesel mobile repair shop in New Bern NC. The major truck diesel repair shop is less that a couple of miles away. Just tried to be rip off artists. So I help them out when ever I can.

That looks like the switch except it is a plain rocker on / off. But that looks like the size.

My 2006 34t has several switches on the 12V lighting that I would like to use a dimmer control. That being said here are a few obstacles to overcome. One is that the light switches are Vimar 250V 3.5cm long x 2.1 cm wide x 2.6 cm deep rocker style. On the Vimar site they have a dimmer that...

Try some of the sail consignment shops. MINNEY'S YACHT SURPLUS - WE MAKE BOATING AFFORDABLE Bacon Sails & Marine Supplies Bacon as well as others have a search by Luff and Foot. Can't get any easier than that.

Nice. What is that white stuff on all of the boats??

I agree. There is no way I would do that deal without the transmission up an running and no cavitation problems. BTW there is no Luhrs off and on anymore. They are gone completely. Marlow Marine has bought the Hunter, Mainship and one of the other brands out of the Bankruptcy Court. They...

My guess it won't. So far no one has jumped on this as he has posted it on the Mainship site. So if that had been a problem in the past it is a lot like here, you can't ask a question without three different replies and sometime for the same person.:)

Anyone that does not believe in the EPA and what they have done needs to spend a couple of days in south China. I was there just a couple of weeks ago and it reminded me of the steel mills in Ohio when I was young. We didn't know any better and didn't know that the reason we had a sore throat...

I'm interested Don, not trying to be a smart ass. Why the difference in what you use on the road trucks vs what you use on your baby? Would it be that the trucks are company trucks and if one fails it is paid for out of the company check book and the Sabre isn't? I realize the money belongs...

I think the guy said that the next week he was putting it on Ebay. That was 11 months ago. I'm just guessing here but I'd say it was gone.

I don't want to get into a long discussion nor do I think I can change anyone's mind. This has been discussed before. The facts are that yes no engine company makes their own oil filter, as no car company makes their either, as no car company makes their own tires, as in no car company makes...

That is because it is a cheaper filter. Cheaper is not always as good or better. To save $10 you could put a $20k engine in danger. West sales Fram which may or may not be the best for your engine either. I use Racors in the Racors, Yanmar fuel filters on the engine and GenSet and Yanmar...

If you really want to know join the Mainship group on Yahoo and then ask the question. I can think of at least three folks that will chime right in. mainship : This list is for Mainship Owners and others who want to own a Mainship.
