Eartec for us for the last 8 years... love them!

Well Ray, we will certainly be investigating working with American Tanks or a similar company here in the east. Just a few weeks after out first tank started leaking and its subsequent pump out, our second fuel tank started leaking as well. We had to pump out all the rest of the fuel while at...

Makes sense... We have isolated our leaking port tank and emptied it. For now we are using only the starboard tank and balancing the list by only filling the port side water tank. We will plan to cut up the leaking fuel tank in the fall and then decide about fabricating new tanks. Your thread...

one question... three tanks each side installed on top of each other... did you ever consider three taller tanks installed beside each other?

Hi Eric... Both tanks are 325 gallons and impossible to get out without either demolishing the tanks or cutting through the side of the boat. Our twin 135 Lehman engines are in great shape so we really haven't thought about moving them out of the way to get to the fuel tanks. Something to check...

We are having a similar problem. We just found a slow leak at the weld of the starboard diesel tank and the connector to a shutoff valve - luckily just before we were supposed to launch yesterday. We are now pumping out many gallons of fuel, then the discussion of whether a repair is...

Cancelled the launch of our boat yesterday... we just found a slow leak at the weld of the starboard diesel tank and the connector to a shutoff valve. Now pumping out many gallons of fuel, then the discussion of whether a repair is possible or how to get the 325 gallon tank out (and probably...

Glad to hear from another Sea Ranger owner... looking forward to photos!

No shoulda, coulda, woulda from us. After sailing for 10 years, we knew what we wanted in a part time live-aboard cruising vessel. We spent a lot of time looking and learning about trawlers and have absolutely no regrets about purchasing our Sea Ranger. There were no other boats in our...

Interesting that there have been more than 16,000 views on this thread.... I've always thought that our Sea Ranger has a lot of interesting and admirable qualities....it seems that a few of Trawler Forum's members are curious!

Gojumac.. If you google Passagemaker venerable trawler, you should come up with a link to a pdf of the article that koliver is referring to!

Dri-Dek tiles worked for us... a really easy fix.

We've used Eartec for the last 6 years with no problems.

You might be glad that you are not importing a boat built outside of North America INTO Canada. The charges for bringing a Taiwanese trawler, for example, into Ontario would be 13% hst plus 9% import duties!

You are correct about cruise ships (cash pasenngers)... but any one else is subject to the rules!

I missed the beginning of the thread ..but in Canada there is zero tolerance...no drinking on board by the captain or the crew or even the passenger... no one while cruising.. and I applaud that!

Everyone has different ideas about docking and the skill sets one should have... and yes, spring lines work very well in helping get the boat to line up with the dock. However, I will never regret the installation of both bow and stern thrusters on our Sea Ranger 47... makes our life so much...

Yes!

We have not been in touch with Ziz Zag. You are certainly welcome to come up and visit our boat... we can set up a time via a PM.

We used the gobius exterior tank monitor system on our steel tank.... Great system.... No fuss no muss!

We own a 1985 47' Sea Ranger. Our deck is teak, screwed and bunged, and it has never been treated with anything. We actually quite like the grey colour. We did have a water leak down the side wall of our forward berth and presumed it was caused by a leaking deck..... but not so. It was...

I would love to see pictures of the upgrades you have made!

A good and honest broker is worth his weight in gold. We have worked with several over the years, and have really only had one bad experience :ie... looked at a boat, came to a deal, did the survey, found out lots of problems, requested new deal with paperwork listing all the problems with...

We have sight tubes on our water tanks, but when we were looking for a monitoring system for our stainless steel head tank, we checked out the Gobius system. It was reasonably priced and having installed it two? years ago, can say that it works very well... and great customer support too! They...
