May be moving and have to sell my beloved boat. I have lived aboard her for 3 years and loved every second of it. She's a 1969 Pilot House Trawler designed by Blaine Sealy and built in Japan. If you want to know more email me at nordicstar56@gmail.com.

Forrest Sherman Class Destroyer "This one" is the USS Edson. She's a Forrest Sherman Class Destroyer. I grew up on the USS Turner Joy DD-951. It was great being a "Tin Can" Sailor.

If it were me I would abandon the thought of building a boat due to both the cost and time. Maybe you can rescue an old boat and put your flavor into it? Or, email me at. K1955cj3b@cox.net. My circumstances have changed a bit and I may be selling mine soon. ?

Found the cause of the fire. It was an old 4 pin relay that had the coil fail or short. This relay is used to sound an alarm should I get a hi tranny temp, a high engine block temp or low oil pressure. These 3 alarm points provide the ground to the relay which in turn energizes an audible alarm...

Fire Extinguisher used I used the Powder. I know CO2 would have been just as effective and a lot less of a mess but nonetheless I used the nearest extinguisher. :)

That was a great deal! The pics show good workmanship too. I want to upgrade my electrical breaker panels on the bridge so I think I'll contact them. Thanks for the tip!!

The more I look at that harness the more I want to rewire. BIG job but better than fires.

I'm rethinking the cause Thanks to some great comments here. The starter wires run right through that harness so there's my first check.

Shrew What I meant by that was if my engine room had been dirty with oil, dust and grime the fire could have grown quickly. I keep a clean engine room so there wasn't anything else the fire could spread to.:trash:

That's a great question. I'll have to check on that asap.

Started up my Diesel for my weekly check last night and saw smoke coming out of the engine room within 30 seconds. A quick look revealed a small fire (looked huge but was only the size of a Brillo pad)) in the wiring hardness next to the oil pressure sending unit. Since I have 6 fire...

Thank You all for your suggestions/comments. Looks like I'm getting a grabber and fishing around this weekend. Wish me luck!

This specific area is directly under the Main propulsion diesel.

I need some ideas on how to get the rust out of my bilges. It started about 2 months ago and since my bilges are not accessible I didn't notice it until a bilge pump kicked on and rust came out. Cathodic protection-zincs? All help is greatly appreciated!!! Is it illegal to pump out my bilges if...

I have 300 ft of chain I want to mark. Probably every 50 feet. Should I paint or is there another way to mark it. I looked into those plastic colored inserts that fit into the links themselves but those are way to pricey. Thanks in advance for your insights.

Welcome a board. I have a 1969 Pilot House Trawler (Blaine Seeley) and I absolutely love it.

Thanks for the pic. She's beautiful.

Rookie question, my marine radio has its own antenna. My GPS map 182 has 2 inputs, one to the gps antenna and the other goes up to the back of the marine radio. Neither of them are getting a gps signal. I am confused as to why the gps map 182 runs to the back of the radio. Power? I am majority...

Love your priorities! GOD/Family/Career! Have any pics? What size Lehman do you have?

My Garmin has lost it's GPS signal. I have tried rebooting to no avail. Any ideas ? Thank You!

I have an old WF auto pilot model 15 that pulls to the right when I engage the clutch. I tried several times disengaging then engaging but still acts the same. All help and comments are much appreciated!

Forrest Sherman Class Destroyer I spent my first 5 years in the Navy on board the USS Turner Joy (DD-951). She is now a museum in Seattle Washington. Loved my Tin Can duty!!
