It’s salt water so it freezes at a lower temperature anyway so you are fine with the engine. For inside plumbing you can use an air compressor to blow out the lines on if you are worried but I wouldn’t be.

Radar and FLIR are complementary. If I had a choice to pick only one I would choose radar. Radar does not work well in close quarters such as coming into a narrow marina. FLIR does not work well in fog because it cannot pick up the temperature differential as well. I don’t have any experience...

Here’s the way I’d look at it. If you can afford the risk that you will have to plow money into the boat for the unforeseen issues you will experience down the road, I’d consider it. You might make out but you might not. If the discount is the only way you can financially afford the boat...

Thanks for the tip! I need to do that! Zip tie for me.

Agreed. I bought an electric fuel pump at an auto parts store and used that to pump old gas from my boat. Placed it in 5 gal containers and added a bit to my car’s gas tank slowly over time. Issue is you need a lot of 5 gallon containers especially as the OP has a much larger tank than I had.

Measure the voltage at an outlet. If you are at 110V or higher, you are fine. 108-109 maybe. 107V or lower, no bueno unless you are using a super low amount of amperage. Take a 1500W appliance. At 120V, you will draw 12.5A current. At 110V, you will draw 15A. So there lower the voltage...

I have a rail mounted Magma propane grill and galley stove/oven. My galley stove is plumbed from the exterior propane locker with a solenoid. For the Magma grill I purchased a 6’ flexible line that attaches to a standard propane tank with an adapter that fits the grill which is the same thread...

Imagine calling over the VHF radio to a marina or draw bridge operator?

You must have been at my marina :-). Only a few slips down from mine is a boat with that name. Another is Knotty Boys.

With the supply shortages, I’m fearful that if anything breaks, my season will be dramatically impacted. Fortunately, my vessel is newer.

Short cycling an A/C won’t remove sufficient humidity. You need the A/C to run for a period of time otherwise if it cycles and and off to maintain a temp you will not dehumidify. I would get a small compressor type humidifier. Some come with a build in pump. Otherwise you can buy a...

Depending on where and how you use you will use it, I opted for an Engel fridge/freezer. Love the flexibility, works in ac/dc and run it off a deep cycle battery in the bed of my truck, as well as on the boat...
