There is a mechanical pump and a manual pump to empty the grey water tank- same for the black water tank

I tried digesters but to no avail.

Thanks- I'll try a snake and also the wet vac- the boat does not have option to pump directly overboard- only black water has that feature.

Yep- to a 120 gallon holding tank- there's no option to pump overboard

Good morning- one of the sink drains on our Nordhavn 55 is extremely slow to drain. We've disassembled (to a degree) and cleaned and used Zaal No-Flex and also baking soda/ vinegar. Sink is still super slow. What do people use to fix these plastic drains? Don't want to blast it with chemicals...

Thanks Larry- I've read that the Luperon anchorage is tough to get into and shallow- what was your experience there? Our draft is 6 1/2 feet

Good afternoon- we are in west coast of Puerto Rico. Our next destination is Turks and Caicos. I've ordered a guide to Turks and Caicos but thought I'd pose the question in TF: what are the options for overnight stops between PR and Turks and Caicos? We'd like to avoid overnights if possible...

Hello- we are in our 55 nordhavn in Cartagena, Colombia. Our next leg (God willing) will be to Punta Cana DR. This will be a 4 day trip with first night at Santa Marta Marina the direct to DR. Planning to leave Sunday 4/9. Winds look very good for these waters. Problem is sea state as the was...

We will be exiting the canal at colon and working our way to Florida. Thinking of heading east to Trinidad and then north up the island chain to PR and Turks and cacis and Bahamas- or avoiding the big trip east to Trinidad and just heading up to Jamaica and cayman and Cuba. Welcome anyone's ideas.

Good morning- we are just getting ready to transit the Panama Canal from pacific side- can anyone recommend some good cruising guides for the Caribbean waters? We will be ending up in Maine and need some guidebooks to help us out. Many thanks Jeff Nordhavn 55

Hi everyone- I want to add a simple depth finder or fish finder to my dinghy. Would be best, I suppose, to just hang it off of the transom to avoid drilling the fiberglass hull. Anyone have any recommendations?

I ended up buying the Go! Device and am thus far pretty pleased. I also use PredictWind's app in conjunction with the sat device and that works well.

Hello everyone- we will be taking our 55' Nordhavn to Mexico and Central America for the first time- what are the best books for us to have on board? Charlie's charts? Others? Thanks much.

We need an inflatable dinghy due to space constraints- and an electric motor would be good too

Hello everyone- we have a 50hp Yamaha powered Nautica dinghy but would like a much smaller (maybe electric?) dinghy for certain missions to shore- anyone ever seen a great small dinghy that might fit the bill?

I'd also be interested in anyone's experience with the iridium go product

We not remove the motor- and we've always raised the motor- at 8 knots it seems like a light load on the entire setup

We are traveling in the inside of SE Alaska in a Nordhavn 55. We've been towing our dinghy occasionally but the dinghy manual (nautica) says to only tow short distances without their "tow package" add-on. I presume that the ring on the dinghy that we connect to can give way- although we are only...

Many thanks for the feedback- sounds like we might spend the time elsewhere

Good morning- anyone out there ever been to Yakutat, AK? Worth making a stop at? Many thanks

Has anyone ever cruised into Skagway? We have a 55' Nordhavn and wondering how tight things are there. People have told us to take the ferry- just wanted to get other opinions. Thanks

What is best way to send yourself something (Amazon for example) when in a remote city (Juneau for example)? Will the marina office always be OK if we send something to ourselves at their address? Many thanks

I am looking for info on Alaskan fuel prices and can't seem to find anything- is calling each vendor the only way? Seems odd that no one has tried to assemble AK fuel prices

Is there a resource that tells us what the fuel prices are at various locations? I'm a pilot and in aviation there were some great websites that had fuel prices all across the us- thanks

Hello everyone- thanks for the help- our water maker high pressure pump died on the way to Juneau from SoCal- anyone know a good mechanic in Juneau who might be able to help get the hp pump rebuilt? Thanks
