I agree with all the above, DO NOT buy the gsd 20, wasn't that good new, it certainly won't be better now.

If I could get the boat at a reduced rate to cover most of repowering then great, if not walk away...

There is a difference from scratches and that of sun damage, if you scratched it up say by a seat rubbing or strap its much like taking a scratch out of a nice car, light abrasive/polishing in steps. If its sun damage, which is all plastic after 5 years will have some, then there really isn't a...

If you are stating this because its noticeably worse then before it would be worth bringing into a good shop to get tested, rebuild is necessary.

Thanks for sharing your experience on this trip, certainly on my bucket list.

Welcome, sounds like a great setup for cruising, all the best!

I had a cheap transom mount unit that I plugged in and hung over the side.

Dawn soap/water, never used a protector.

I have that unit with the GSD 20 (along with a few friends), the GSD20 (black box) should be close to the display, we mounted ours under the dash, wired to main 12vdc term strip. The connections are within the one cable/connector, so trace that large black wire coming out of the unit. I will...

I've seen head gaskets leak after an overheat, not sure a minor leak would show up on a compression test... I would get a good mechanic on board first before you start pulling everything apart, I agree with OCDIVER.

Another happy ending!

This is what I was thinking, forget the insurance, get liability and call it a day.

This is just an educated guess, what about Mary Kate On-off, takes hull stains off easily.

just get the final - final cost before giving your credit card, a lot of "fees" that add up.

A lot of good info given, nothing lost with trying it, eventually you will either leave gray or put some type of coating on it.

Take a good look at Mainships.

I'll add 5' and call it even!

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed reading it, although I wish the blog software had a feature when blog is done to place in reading from beginning to end, but that's just me.

Your own personal sauna!

We pull the pumps and change impellers on the bench and re-install.

This is an excellent post below, been in that situation a number of times, sometimes its unavoidable like a multi-day fishing tournament. My closes mistake came when I was complacent and thought I knew the area well (even though I was only through there once before) and almost ran up on a...

Off topic, seen this same issue of not running right on our dock, and not exclusive to Tohatsu, basically any new outboard, personally think it comes down to the tight emissions and carb jets really lean, slightest bit of contaminant and runs crappy. I also vote for Weaver, also good company...

In most cases it's more beam related, so going from say the 30-37 footers which are in the 12-13' beam vs the 40' range which is 14-15' beam. Not to say some small marina's can only accommodate max size, I would go through Active Captain website and look at some marina's and see for yourself...

Well if it ripped off a stabilizer then yes, like others have said anything can happen and Nordhavn's in most cases are out there traveling, which increases the odds of something happening.

Congrat's awesome work, thanks for sharing.
