I would rather doubt that a voltage spike from the marine caused your regulator to die as it's not hooked directly to the incoming power. Power spikes are filtered out by the battery charger as well as the batteries themself. As a side note when I had a BRS regulator it only last about 1.5...

Another possibility is with abit of current flow can cause some props to "sing". However, I like my original theory better. Dave

I wonder if you have the Monk 36 boat whos previous owner died while sanding the transom down preparing it for paint. I'd call Taps. Might want to do some EVP work.

RE: Looking to buy a 42 President (or similar Taiwanese) Sundeck trawler on West Coast I'd give Bob a call from Sunchaser yachts. See above. He deals with US/Canadian boat purchases all the time. Thats what I did and ended up with a Canadian Canoe Cove. Dave

RE: Looking to buy a 42 President (or similar Taiwanese) Sundeck trawler on West Coast It's not a President but is a Sundeck and Manufactured by Queenship. I look at it about a month ago. Not to many of these very well built boats around...

I've painted my last two boats and will be painting my third probably sometime next year. If you want a workboat finish go with the single part paint. if you want a yacht type finish go with the two part paint. I've used Sterling as availability here in Seattle is excellent. Painting your boat...

Dragging? Whats that? I use the SuperMax. I remember now, that what other anchors do. -- Edited by wingspar on Wednesday 30th of June 2010 04:58:17 PM

Forgot about this boat. This would be great if you have the money. http://www.northpacificyachts.com/content/north-pacific-28-specifications-0 Dave

Bayliner did make some 28' with a 8.6' beam but didn't sell alot of them due to the narrow beam. Here is an example. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatMergedDetails.jsp?boat_id=2178321&ybw=&units=Feet&currency=USD&access=Public&listing_id=60791&url= Dave

I got you new gas key and left it with Dick. Dave

Why not save a boat load of money and just do it yourself. (1) It will take five time longer then you think it will. (2) I bought all my marine grade wire over the internet. It was CONSIDERABLY cheaper then the local shops especially West marine. (3) It really helps to have a helper when...

Phil, when I had my CQR I sold it to another boat in my marina after it dragged in Oak Harbor after the wind came up to about 20 MPH and I ended up being less then 10 feet from the public dock. Dave

"no rational thought wanted" Gee, on another topic I'm a "rich A-hole" and in this one I'm not rational because I've found an anchor that has worked in this area for me very well after going through a plethora of other makes. Dave

Eric, so far I have had good luck with a rock bottom with my Super Max. Not that there is alot of areas here where i boat that would be considered rocky. The one that kind of stands out to me was many years ago was traveling up to Princess Louisa. We stayed the night in if I remember correctly...

I use to play that game. Which anchor for which bottom. I've tried them all from the Danford, Bruce, CQR and others over many years. I've also dragged all of these or they wouldn't set. Just wanted an anchor that would set every time and any conditions up here in the Pacific Northwest. Sorry, no...

Weight is around 700 LBS with full internal fuel load. It was setup for a Seawise davit system on my last boat. Dave -- Edited by wingspar on Thursday 3rd of June 2010 07:20:24 AM

I'm far from an "expert" but I believe on a AL boat you would not want to use the hull as a ground. I believe it should have a sperate DC ground buss bar. Running any electrical currents through the AL hull can to bad things to it. Dave

I've also had good luck with with Xantrex inverters. I just finished install the Freedom 2500 model with no problems except the electric blanket. Dave

When I was boarded many years ago i refused to allow them to leave until my bell had been inspected. After all, I paid alot of money for that thing. Dave

I'm in the Semiahmoo yacht club by Blaine,WA. As we live in the Seattle area we don't get to involved in the social activies. Having reciprical moorage more than pays for dues. We also have small signs on the dock that we are yacht club members and they keep an eye on the boat which is a big...

I have 42 Canoe Cove sedan whos flybridge ends right at the cockpit and I am going to extend it about three or four feet. If there is any interest I can do "How I did it" here. Dave

The accumulator tank is disconnected. The hot water tank is located in the bow. Try using only the FORWARD water tank as it is close to the hot water heater. The valve is under the lower step. The rear tank is right by the water pump and differences in pump pressure can be magnified do to...
