    Fuel debugging

    Hi guys. Can anyone forward me a copy of the user manual for the ESI-CLEAN fuel debugging system? Mine is a CFS-1000FRE. I've looked on-line but can't seem to find anything. Thanks

    What spare do you carry?

    SO very true. Electrics bamboozle me, mechanical not so much.

    Looking for rookie stories...

    Exactly the same with us. Our 2 1/2 year boat buying journey had ups and downs with lot's of almost buyers remorse and then bugger we missed out remorse. The emotional roller coaster ride is both debilitating and exhilarating. My wife was the positive one through it all. I would have dropped...

    Looking for rookie stories...

    It's sad listening to people laugh at or make jokes of persons who try and fulfil their dreams of adventure on a boat. Sadly it's not for everyone but until you do it you really can't properly judge if it's going to work for you or not. Some times the advice given is to try it out on a smaller...

    Finally ?

    Thanks to all the nice comments. It's much appreciated. Getting sick of people making stupid comments like "Best time you'll have boating is when you first buy the boat and when you sell it". Trying to not take any notice. Only positive thoughts for me.

    We're still in Peregian and will move onto the boat when the works are completed. Here's a list of some of the things that need doing: - - Single draw dishwasher install - Naiad stabilzer seals replaced and hydraulics checked. - Stabilizer fin delamination repair. - Flybridge top replacement...

    Finally ?

    Hi Peter B, I'm currently living at Peregian Beach and Adagio is a Selene. She's currently down at the Boat Works in Coomera getting some maintenance and personal improvements done, then we'll take her up to the Great Sandy Straits Marina in Hervey Bay where we'll live aboard.

    Hamish, mate, take it easy. There was no intention to offend you or to be silly. I understand and appreciate what this site is for. But it doesn't always need to be analytical exposay without being open to opinion either well intended or sometimes being humorous sarcasm. Like I said, never was...

    Hi Hamish, I was wondering what the installation cost were? Very nice job on the extras with the engine installation.

    53ft, 2 Hands, No Thruster - Crazy or EZ?

    I guess thrusters really get appreciated when you have a single screw boat.

    Well said and I totally agree.

    Stern design and safety in following seas

    Pictures would suggest that the platform is probably only about 1 ft or less above water line observed from waterline paint stripes?

    What type of boat?
