Our marina, South Harbour Village in Southport, NC, was purchased by Safe Harbor in late 2019. I'm a slip owner there where only about 20% of the slips are privately owned. We slip owners automatically became Safe Harbor Black Card members that came with some nice perks including free (limited)...

When we got our Carbo bikes they were offering free fenders and rack which was a nice upgrade. We use these snap on Panier bags that can hold quite a bit of groceries and connect/disconnect easily. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KW2ZIMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We bought two Carbo e-bikes this fall and they are great. Carbon fiber (no rust), folding, belt drive & less than 30#. And plenty enough speed and range for us when we're docked. https://ridecarbo.com

You might want to check out this small company. They built a custom radar/GPS/lighting mount for me a couple of years ago and did a great job. https://nauticalcreations.com/

I have a 2007 Nova Kool RFS 6500 (6.4 CuFt) Fridge/Freezer combo unit in functioning condition available free if you come and get it. I replaced this unit with a new one two years ago thinking it was dying. While the freezer worked great, the fridge temps would never get below the high 40's...

Ted, I own a slip in that marina and have plenty of room for you to tie your dinghy up next to our boat when you're there next time. Joseph's is right at the end of our (B) dock. You're welcome anytime.

There is no designated dinghy dock at this marina and are actually very few dinghies that dock there as there are not a lot of anchorages in the area and no moorings. They used to allow people to use the transient dock space (if available) for temporary dockage of any small boat for dinner at...

South Harbour Village Marina (now a Safe Harbor property) is our home port and Joseph's is one of our local favorites. I didn't know they were starting to charge for short term docking but it doesn't surprise me. Bald Head Island Marina started charging $20 for short term docking several years...

I have a Windline BRM-3 bow roller. The specs say it fits up to 30kg anchors but I'm using a 33kg Rocna on it with no problems.

Sorry that I missed you. Saw your boat when I was there a couple of times but didn't see anyone around. Then on Sunday I saw you were gone. Safe travels and see you next time.

Chris, I may take you up on that :thumb: Just FYI, Joseph's (the Italian restaurant) just posted this but Rusty Hooks is still open and it's our favorite. Hello All, Unfortunately, Joseph’s has had a positive test result amongst our staff and we will be closing. While according to the...

South Harbor Village doesn't have the pedestal water hookups working yet but they have big, temporary hoses running down the dock with taps every 40-50' so you can get water that way if you have to. Don't know what Southport Marina has.

Safe Harbor/South Harbor Village - Transient dock is operating. Power and Diesel/Gas available but no water hookups or pump-out yet. Both on-site restaurants are open (and good!). Southport Marina - Transient dock recently re-opened and is operating. Power and fuel is available. Don't know...

I have a Fell MOB system on my center console. If the MOB alarm is activated due to wrist band submersion or distance from the base it shuts down the engines. After 6 seconds the system automatically goes into Override Mode which means anyone can restart the engines.

I'm in the process of removing most of the our original carpet and installing Nautikflor planks which come in a number of color combinations. https://www.nautikflor.com Ours is cherry and holly. So far, so good, I'm about 1/3 done and it's quite easy to work with. Can be cut with a saw or with a...

I replaced the kill switch lanyard on my 28' CC with a Fell wireless system a couple of years ago. It works great and can protect more than just the driver if using multiple MOB wrist bands. But I don't have anything like this on our 46' cruising boat.

I was planning to install the manual Seawise davit system. https://seawisemarine.com. It's a pretty slick set-up. I'm still on the fence with this install and am leaning towards not installing anything and selling the dinghy, motor, trailer and davit system. I bought it all over a year ago and...

I pulled it out today at exactly two weeks. It had some algae growth and a few dozen spots of hard growth just starting to form. But I was able to clean it off pretty easily with a car wash mitt. Thanks all :thumb:

I can take it to the ramp a few miles away and haul it out but I'll be putting it right back in next week to line up the davit latch points. That was the reason for my original post. Going in and out over the next couple weeks is a PITA.

It's a fiberglass RIB. Motor is locked onto the transom and does not touch the water when tilted up. Sounds like it will be fine. Thanks TF for the helpful responses :thumb:

I have a new AB Hypalon RIB that's going to be mounted on a davit system on my swim platform. It's going to take me two or three weeks to get all the davit components purchased and installed. I had to put the dinghy in the water to make all the necessary measurements and for the time being it's...

Exactly. Only the fuel in the line between the tank and the motor went bad. :confused:

I bought a new 10' AB RIB in early 2020 and put a new 15hp Tohatsu motor on it. Spent a month getting it prepped for the boat including installing a new fuel line and tank (with ethanol free gas) that was in a bow compartment of the RIB. Ran it one time on a hose in the driveway last April and...

The tank is just slightly larger than the standard Rule shower sump box. It is made from HDPE, not hard plastic and has an inspection port top that unscrews from the tank for inspection and cleaning. The non-contact level sensor is built into that screw-in top.
