Charles Industries isolation transformer, 30 amp, 120v, 60hz. Model # 93-IXFMR3/6N-A. Was working great when I removed it from my previous boat, and it's been in the garage ever since. It's heavy (76 lbs), so local pickup would be preferred on Vancouver Island. Asking $500 cdn.

SOLD: Dual sender and gauges Sold

New in the box - never installed. VDO dual station sender and two Faria rudder angle indicators (black). 12volt. Located on Vancouver Island, but can ship with tracking anywhere in Canada or US (you cover the postage). Online the sender is $150 and the gauges are about $50 each, so I am...

As the owner of a Defever 50 LRC built in 1970 in Japan, I can attest to the build quality of these boats. Just know that the differential in investment, FRP vs wood, upon purchase will be spent regardless in order to keep a wooden boat in good shape. A boathouse and good skills (or deep...

If all goes well, the system will be gone at the end of the month. If not, I'll re-list it in December.

Looks like the system is sold. Will refresh the thread again if for some reason the sale doesn't work out. Thanks much, Alisa

Thanks - I've only got a short piece of the exhaust hose. Those thru-hulls are a spendy item. I've actually got one....but it's still attached to the boat it was installed in :). The new owner has promised it to me, but we just have to remove it. A bit of a PITA to do when the boat is in...

Hurricane II H2D 35,000 BTU diesel fired furnace with 1500W, 120 vac supplemental immersion unit. $3,000 OBO + shipping. Send PM or email me at adenduyf at shaw dot ca. This is a wonderful system for live-aboards - I lived on a 40 ft trawler and it provided more than enough heat...

Would this work for you?

We've been using a 15% bio blend for the past 7 years (in the PNW). Other than replacing one small section of old hose (most of the system is copper) we've had no issues. Power is a D330 Cat (circa 1970) with just under 10,000 hrs. A recent mechanical survey uncovered no problems. For the...

Must jump in here. While dimensional stability is very important, rot resistance is equally critical. You don't want to have to do the repair again - money down the drain if you use a wood not suiting for planking. Point in case - I have a 50 ft Defever (Mahogany) that a respected yard...

50' Defever LRC trawler for cruising (share ownership with a friend) 40' Converted salmon trawler for living on 22' Pocket rocket for sailing 13' Whaler 13' Inflatable 13' Sailing dinghy a gaggle of kayaks for guests all adds up to a lot of work

It would be helpful to know what kind of daily AC loads you anticipate for your inverter between charging cycles.* 'Normal cruising needs' vary a great deal amongst cruisers.* That inverter will require a pretty large house bank if the regular AC loads approach it's max capacity and you don't...

OK - time to start doing something about this.* Screw GOOGLE.* I like this forum, appreciate the input from all and don't want it to go away.* I'm in for $25 - just donated via paypal.* I get WAY more than $25 value per year....and I challenge all members/lurkers to do the same.* Let's keep...

Ditto on Eric's comment. Highly recommend against using epoxy in the joint. While wood dust mixed in with epoxy does create a bond that has more elasticity than straight epoxy, the wood WILL move far more than the epoxy putty will allow. Another thing to think about is the fact that all caulks...

Ditto on Bucksport Sausages...they are the best! Once in Charleston - really recommend the Marina at Patriot's Point. The USS Yorktown is amazing to tour and the marina (also nicknamed 'crash landing' because of the current - so timing is important!) is great. When I was there, the shower...

I'm assuming that all suggestions are related to naturally aspirated engines. The turbo adds a wrinkle....from experience loafing doesn't generate high enough exhaust gas temp to allow the turbo to do what it's designed to do. Higher rpm can actually generate a more efficient fuel...

A very*good idea.*There were no*warnings in August or the end of September 2010 but*I just checked*the DFO site, and area 16-2 to 16-13 inclusive is closed to*butter clams & horse clams.**...

Pst....it's up in Hotham Sound just past the Harmony Islands Marine Park (great anchorage BTW).* At the end of the sound you'll see Baker Bay and Lena Bay on the chart.* The point between them on the Baker Bay side has a small indentation showing a drying section.* It's actually an intertidal...

Jealous!* Heading up towards Princess Louisa?** There's a fabulous clamming spot near the Harmony Islands .... just scoop them up by the hundreds!* Be happy to share if you're interested.* Have a great trip, Alisa.

So, the bawdy line "come up and see me sometime" fits, doesn't it? * Ok boys...I'll bite How about* "A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up."

Killick's pretty much like Mae West.* All lip and attitude and she's definitely got a wiggle on when she's underway!

We always tuned in to Herb Hilgenberg on the SSB - he's very accurate and regularly provides crossing info to the Bahamas.* He also gets very grouchy if you tune in, ask for routing info and then don't follow his advice.* Great entertainment value when he's talking to the offshore boats -...

Thanks - you are both too kind!* The camera did all the magic...all I did was point & click.* Digital SLR's are amazing.* Chatterbox Falls is best viewed in the spring with the run-off in full flow...thie was taken in early May and already the falls had started to moderate. I'll try to repost a...

I agree wholeheartedly about bolting it down. If you use a car seat, you get the slide mechanism, lumbar support and possibly more adjustments all thrown in. * * Definitely bolt it down securely - we've got the pedestal base lag-bolted into a deck beam and through-bolted with big washers...
