Phractal and others - bing or google yachtworld Australia. That site still uses the “old” search interface and results in much more accurate results and has more flexibility to set up your search.

Thanks Scott. Good advice on the scissors - I imagine I can find something on Amazon. I’ll get templating material at TAP Plastics thanks to the suggestion here. The texture note is a good one.

A couple quick notes. Abrasive cleaners like Comet et. al. may scuff the smooth surface making it likely that the fenders will collect grime more quickly after each cleaning. I would avoid them for this reason. We use Spray 9 for a lot of cleaning chores and it works well (most of the time -...

In an amazing coincidence I just stumbled onto these replacements while making an Amazon purchase...

Good question - one that I've asked myself more than once. We had the Detroit "fuel misers" that had all the required updates and a mechanic who is a local Detroit guru (gave them a clean bill of health). The boat had Sidepower bow and stern thrusters and a Roskelly pickle-fork davit. We had...

Also check Blaine WA. It’s part of the Bellingham port, but often has openings and is low cost. Skyline Marine on the west side of Anacortes might have some openings as well - or at least a shorter wait and it, too, is less expensive and allows some overhang.

We just swapped our old Rendova for a newer used AB aluminum with a Euro helm. This base was installed and Guyer Boatworks in Bellingham fitted out the remaining kit. Haven’t used these yet but seems to be very high quality...

Pulling cable on a Bayliner 4788 is worse than a root canal with no anesthetic. But I just realized I do have easy access to 12v power so now I just need to find a 12v wireless camera. I have two iPads on board so no problem with displays. With multiple cameras I can monitor the cockpit fo...

I’m going to bite the bullet with a DIY decking project for the swimstep and the cockpit. Some of the EVA material has “raised planks” with beveled edges and some is flat like carpeting. Any experience or preferences (based on experience) out there in Forumland? Also what material did you use...

We have the Magenta 55+ unlimited plan from T-Mobile (probably the best carrier in the San Juan Islands). $90/mo total with taxes for two phones. Coverage in US, Canada, and Mexico. 20gb 4g lte hotspot in the US and 5gb 4g in Canada. For each phone. They also have Three different modems...

I was ready to pull the trigger on a couple of these - especially for use when towing our RIB. But I was put off by the admittedly few Amazon reviews. I went to the WP site which then redirected me to the CW site. I tried to access FAQs and the Knowledge Base but both links dead end. I got an...

Re Pau Hana and fuel - My thoughts exactly. Not the best time of year to head south - but if the OP has time to sync with the weather vs a schedule and has the bank balance to run at planing speed then why not. Maybe investing in a weather planning service for the cruising window would be...

firehoser75 - I hope so! We have a class B AIS transceiver so keep an eye out for us if you have an AIS receiver!

Looking forward to making some new friends. Might even need to spring for a burgee! Bacchus - to your question: Retired tech sales, marketing, ops, management both hardware and software. Made a whopping $1400 in startup tech stock options. Per Patti, the shirts lasted longer than the...

Interesting (although somewhat predictable) discussion - articulating the various pros and cons is helpful. Can I ask the OP, Hammer, for an update?

If you have the room and budget for 12 GC2s (Assuming a battery watering system) for use as both start and house and also have concerns about starting - why not just buy a spare G31 and keep it charged and in reserve? With that and a generator batter plus jumpers you’d have great redundancy...

We have dual 330hp Cummins 6bta plus an 8kw Onan. Previous owner had Magnasine set wrong, fried four Full River 6L AGMs. Had 2x 8d starters on 20 year old crappy charger and fried those as well. Replaced 8ds with Grp31 AGMs and new smart charger. Replaced 6L AGMs with 8 x Costco Interstate 6v...

I hope I don’t get bashed - seems to be an assumption by some others that being a Bayliner owner is the equivalent of submitting to a voluntary frontal lobotomy. I beg to differ. We take care of a Bayliner 4788 based out of Skyline Marina I’m Anacortes Washington (I subscribe to the POV that...
