Yep, that's how I did mine. The factory cables are only long enough if your battery is right back with the engine, mine is up front. Had to splice in more cable to reach. Now you know for next time.

What you need is some penetrating epoxy. There is a local company called Smith I believe that many of the boat stores carry. (Fisheries should have it). It has the consistency of water and will flow easily into the wood or whatever is the core material is on your boat. Maybe get some small...

Ventana: I'm with you. We just avoid anywhere where a stern tie is necessary. There was one on the boat when we bought it but has never been used.

You better lay off the sauce there buddy..

What OC Diver said. I too had to reboot my inverter awhile back. Found the procedure in my owners manual.

So far, so good. I have it hanging outside of the hull.

For the past three years we have been carrying around a hummingbird feeder so Tuesday we decided to set it out. Put it out at 10:55 am and had our first customer at 11:00 am. Been up hill ever since. Have had to refill several times already. Sometimes there are up to 8-10 at a time. These...

Westiculo; Are you sure you want to sell the boat? The first paragraph of your post says "thinking about listing our boat" and "might be ready to move into a house". Like everyone is saying, you really need to remove all of your "stuff" and get the boat staged to sell. You go on to say...

I would find a marine escrow service and hire them to do the paper work for you. They will do the necessary leg work to make sure everything is on the up and up. You really don't need a broker at this point if you have already made a deal with the owner. He would just turn over the paper work...

You probably should clean up that diesel before you paint it. Something that does not leave a film behind.(brake cleaner works good, no film, dries fast)

What Ken said.

Hydronic heat can be plumbed into your hot water tank (need the correct type of tank), and into your main engine(s) Also keeps the engine room nice and toasty all winter. Also only need to run small diameter heater hose instead of large 3"-4" hot air ducting.

You can polish them up with Mequires plastic polish. I did mine two years ago.

Unless it is a very small pilot house there will always be seating for others. We can seat four people directly behind the helm and everyone will have good visibility.

I have had some luck finding old manuals on Ebay.

Used to add oil to engine if you had limited access above the engine.

You will find many different types of machines. The older ones use quarters, some use tokens that must bought in one of their vending machines. The newer ones use credit cards.

3/4 cup bleach 1/4 cup mild laundry detergent (I use Deft) 1 gallon of water I use a sponge that is covered with a nylon mesh (like a bug sponge) Rinse thoroughly and let air dry. I find that it may look like this is not working but as it dries you will see the mildew disappear.

Those kind things are pretty common place in the Pacific Northwest. Especially bad when the rivers run high and dump lot's of junk into the sound, or when we have very high tides (king tides) in conjunction with a wind storm that will suck really big logs off the beach. That's why I never ever...

If you are now in the US, I wouldn't worry about it. Unless of course you can convince them that it is essential you go across the border.

I cant imagine that everything would be fine but the cooling system is blocked. What did you open to drain it? Did you open the coolant reservoir cap so it would drain faster? If you were draining from the heat exchanger there might be two drain cocks, for for the fresh water and one for the...

Got our checks today also. Thank God I did not have to see Trump's name on mine!!

Just was reading on a Facebook cruisers page that the Coast Guard is telling people that are in the San Juan's to go back to there home port. Anybody have any direct knowledge of this?
