    What to do when someone anchors too close

    If someone anchors "too close to you" it's not "too close for them". That means YOU should move.

    Generic Products, Batteries, filters, etc

    I use Sams club golf cart batteries and Wix filters. Wix and NAPA are the same. The filters are great and the batteries are cost effective.

    Bluetooth GPS

    I have a Garmin Glo2 and it works great with my ipad and samsung galaxy phone. The ipad runs Time Zero. I also have a Windows tablet with OpenCPN and a USB GPS. The ipad and Time Zero is much better.

    Anyone Cruising These Days?

    The president didn't shut boating down, state governors have. It's a slippery slope.

    The Great Debate

    It's been written in blood that single is better for a cruising trawler. Marina hoppers may prefer twins. Thought that debate was over centuries ago.

    We wont know an accurate fuel burn until he fills up. Of course that's just my opinion.

    To turbo or not to turbo?

    The aftercoolers are the maintenance issue with turbos. Not all turbos have aftercoolers but most do.

    To turbo or not to turbo?

    It depends on a lot of factors and the answer will be yes sometimes and no in other situations. It comes down to application.

    Displacement vs. Semi Displacement, Plaining

    ^^^^^^^^^Yes, opinions will be all over the place and what's best in one situation may not be best in another. Even with quotes from the engine manufacturers reps, a few anecdotal arguments to the contrary have been offered as "proof". The waters are murky at best and no consensus is likely...

    Identify this dripless seal

    Things like that will make you a better surveyor. Lets just hope the dripless shaft seal doesn't sink it. I guess you might be able to find parts in the Bahamas but they will be 10 times as much as they are here. Good luck.:flowers:

    Could the shaft tube be shortened? That would give you more room to work with.

    Identify this dripless seal

    Maybe only certain sizes had the "step" in the plastic disc. The cooling water hose clamp looks like it has a non-stainless adjusting screw. You might want to update your blog instead of dealing with stuff like this.;)
