Dude Reverse image? Why? Do you mean as in a photo negative? *

If you're going to be buying chain one thing that might be worth doing is ask the supplier to whack off a short length of whatever chain it is that you want to buy. Then take that short length and make sure it fits correctly into the wildcat on the windlass.* Or you can bring the wildcat (or the...

Yes, way too scary. I'm sure that their system can record the number of hits they each get, and probably determines what they have to pay Google. *

Tony, don't know if it would make a difference in your boat, but a four blade prop on a full keel boat can set up some vibration at higher rpm.* Two of the blades are in line with he keel.* The 3 blade props have more percentage of blade pulling water, so can be a little more balanced.* Just an...

We are paying $1,040/yr for our 36 footer, with Ace Recreational Boat Insurance. I did have one claim about eleven years ago for a major engine failure, and they paid off as advertised. I'm sure you all know that you must have an addendum for Hull and Machinery in order to cover that type of...

Carey, We use an "out of the box" forum software that is supplied by our host.* I am not aware of a way to keep a "living" document in a thread.* I will send those to our host as suggestions. Or, perhaps you could be the keeper of such a document and have folks private message or email you...

SusanIf you read Doug's posts, you'll see that I was simply reiterating his suggestions. Nearly plagarism.* Sadly, the points are Doug's and not mine. -- Edited by Carey on Tuesday 15th of February 2011 04:33:30 PM

SusanOne last thought. Why don't you edit your signature to include your home port. Maybe city and marina, and maybe someone in your area will see that.* It would be nice if everyone would do that, but I'm sure that many have reasons they don't want that information made public. Although I...

SusanDoug suggested another idea that you could try. Go to the Cruising and Events category on the home page of this site, and start a new thread, titled with your home area. Maybe title it "Lake Ontario Members", and ask your neighbors to step forward.* *

This is a great idea, however, I can see possible problems with it.* I'm really not sure what the response would be from the members in putting together such a spreadsheet.* Remember, this site can be viewed by anyone on this planet with an Internet connection. So you say, "restrict it to...

EricGoogle knows!!! *

SusanYou may have seen on the suggestion box, that I asked our administrator if there was any way to post an Excel doc for us each to open and add our information. If we could, then we could sort by any of the columns, whether it be boat type, geographic location or whatever. Between this thread...

JohnDo you know if we could attach an Excel spreadsheet to a thread, and have members open it and add information? I am thinking about a geographical locator for the group. Each member could open the document and add their name, city and state, and maybe even a boat description. Then one could...

That says it all John. *

Isn't that part of a stanchion / life lines??* I don't have one of those in my anchor locker. * I hear you, but West Marine calls it an Anchor Elbow. Who am I to criticize what someone else stores in their anchor locker.* Sigh.* These dang Tawainese Trawlers.* No anchor elbow in the anchor...

MarinI'll have to do that photo session next time we go to Sucia. It must be seen in all it's glory. When our forum friends see it, they will no longer question why I am resisting the addition of a gen set on my boat. *

My understanding is that water temperature less than about 80 degrees can lead to death by hypothermia, given sufficient time.

CarlFollowing your lead, I have changed my signature. Let me know if you think this will pass legal muster.* The views, opinions, impressions, understanding above are simply that, and should not be considered to be correct, politically correct, remotely correct, or in any sense possible...

Here's one.

Raw Water Impeller, fuel filters, belts.

I have a friend who nearly died due to the exhaust on her generator creeping in the bedroom window from outside her home. It just occurred to me that a neighbor boat with a generator running could do the same. I think I'll get my detector mounted.

Hear, hear!!! Not hear! I never go looking for the opportunity to hear an engine run. I go boating in search of peace an tranquility. There is really no time of day that I seek the noise of a generator.

Apparently MSN has replaced the news item to which you refer. Where did this occur? *
