I second (or maybe third, fourth, fifth….) this!

Mike who?

Ya but can they work the foot flusher

I’m not going to step into the poop discussion :lol: but regarding training an adult dog to use a pad I was successful using a small piece of sod in that upside down rubber mate bin lid. Waited the initial hesitation out and eventually the dog figured out grass is grass. During winter here in NY...

If they activate on current input, what happens in an electric failure or interruption, does the valve then close?

Good thoughts. I like the idea of adding just an actuator.

Glad to hear some anecdotal input…. I’ve checked again, and even using extension handles on my current valves it would be very difficult to access, especially quickly. I’m inclined to try the evalves.

I’ve thought of that. It’d still be a contortion to get to but ya, it’s a plan B. They really are in an awkward location and buried. I see why PO never exercised them and they’re now frozen.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Groco E-Valves? It’s an electronic thru hull valve. My thru hulls are in need of replacement, and are very difficult to access on a routine basis. Found them at various vendors. Thanks, John in Port Jeff https://www.defender.com/pdf/e_valve.pdf

Count me in Second the suggestion for Sam’s Marine. But I get more worthwhile info and comraderie here :dance:

Same on Long Island I too received a 10% raise in rates at my local town marina. And honestly it’s due for a raise. But with no notice, no explanation , and no improvements forecast, it is just plain wrong headed customer service. Take it or leave it mentality. Sad.

I have a hydraulic swim platform...meant for easily loading and unloading the dink. Works great for dogs and people too.

Measuring the anchor I have I’ve determined it’s a 35# Delta. (They’re good about putting dimensions into a handy spec sheet). Sounds like from the combined wisdom my 40’ Hatt likely needs a much heavier anchor if I’m to continue more overnights with a better peace of mind. It’s a great day...

Well...correction....I think,it’s a Delta anchor? Will verify later today. Trying to submit a pic.

Thanks everyone...interesting reads all around. Biggest takeaways are to worry less, put out more scope with snubber, and keep watch electronically or otherwise. I have a Bruce anchor but am not sure of the size, so am adding a little research into the mix as well. Thanks! Stay safe.

Hi all, this may be a silly question here but.... I’m mostly a day tripper and always watch my ‘spot’. We have been doing more and more overnights on the hook especially recently with lockdowns. Typically I set my anchor and in the crowded areas I sometime frequent will use a 3:1 scope to limit...

Yuck Ok, some very good technical answers here. But come on, this day and age let’s not poo poo some good ole fashioned humor. The first few answers had me chuckling. Last few answers leave me wondering how I’m gonna get my tanks inspected. It’s all good brothers.

I'm looking for a replacement control head for my autopilot. Its a Robertson AP300DLX. I'm not sure if I can substitute the AP300DL but would be willing to hear from anyone that knows what the difference is. Have an old AP300DLX laying around and willing to sell? Thanks, John

Help, Anyone have any Robertson AP200DL components from your retrofit that are just laying around collecting dust? Please PM what you may have and how much you'd like to get for it. Thanks in advance, John

Anyone have any information on these boats? There are several on the market at the moment and I'm very interested in looking at these. However I can't seem to find any information regarding this line what so ever. Build quality, known issues, hull construction, etc. thanks in advance.. J

Looking at President 37s Hello, Interesting that you don't seem to have any replies to your very old post. If anyone is still reading this thread, I'm looking at President 37s, of which there are four or five currently on the market. Any info regarding these boats is appreciated, specifically...

Hello, I've looked at a PT Sundeck 35 a few days ago, really liked the boat. Beautifully kept up, lots of nice teak, 210 Perkins. I'be read a bit of your blogs and know you love your boat. Would you get the same one again, how does she handle maneuvering around docks, especially if when it's...
