    Fly bridge windscreen material

    In 2005 I fabricated hail guards/deflectors for the house skylights (Texas). The first set of Lexan yellowed very severely at about the 8 year mark. For the second set I used factory treated Lexan with UV protectant. They are still perfect after 12 years. The boat had the original nasty...

    Liveaboard Recommendations?

    We lived aboard a 440 Ocean Alexander for 5-6 months every year for 17 years. Sold it last May and miss it dearly. The cockpit is a must for an aft cabin boat, as many docks are of the floating variety. Step off the dock onto the swim platform and then immediately into the safety of the...

    Liveaboard Recommendations?

    1. Don't write off aft cabin with aft cockpit configurations. 2. Look for fresh water Great Lakes boats.

    2023: biggest seas encountered this year?

    The huge blow on Lake Superior is over. A large segment of the "Laker" fleet (the largest over 1000 feet) has been sheltering in Whitefish Bay. A slug of them departed the anchorage behind Whitefish Point for Duluth this morning. The ice is coming, but the memory and lesson of the Edmund...

    What prop direction ?

    A Twin Disc MG502 is hydraulically shifted. The hydraulic pump in the transmission is driven by the engine. The clutches in the transmission won't shift without the engine actually running. The design allows the same transmission to be used with either rotation by simply redirecting oil flow...

    For Sale: Twin Disk Transmission. MG502 RH 2.0:1

    It was behind a 250 0r 300 HP turbo Detroit 8.2, but I believe other manufacturers used it with their proprietary flywheel/driveplate cover.

    Is this a failed bottom paint job?

    After a Great Lakes yard crew blew off much of a new ablative bottom job (17 years ago) I insisted on running the power washer myself for subsequent haulouts. Stand a goodly distance away and hit it lightly with continuous sweeping motion. Further, I would always launch the dink and clean the...

    For Sale: Propeller 24x22, RH, 2 inch tapered bore

    Price reduced to $250 plus shipping (I'll make a crate). I've spoken with two prop shops who say they can recondition/repitch up to +/- 2 inches at cost of about $275, b ut it's good enough to use as an emergency spare as is. If you're in the Houston area I'd deliver halfway...cleaning the...

    For Sale: Twin Disk Transmission. MG502 RH 2.0:1

    I purchased this as a spare nearly 20 years ago. It's been in the garage in Arlington Texas ever since. The transmission was a running takeout from an engine swap that took place in the late 90's. The oil is still in it. Both shafts spin freely. Includes the mounts and the oil cooler...
