I also have a lewmar BT . I bought the boat last fall. My bow thruster did nothing but click when I hit the switch. I was talking to a friend in Mobile who was a marine mechanic. He suggested tapping the top of the motor with a screw driver handle. Bingo! He suggested that it might be the...

Do you know anything about the ABO group? I tried to join. They won't get back to me.

Do you know anything about this group? I put in to join the group a while back and have heard nothing. It gave an administrator button. When I hit it, it said that it was disabled.

Olddan you don't have your private message set up.

Doesn't look like much to change the engine. Small 4 cylinder engine in a huge engine room. If I can get it home I can unbolt everything disconnect every thing else and pull it with my backhoe.

I think that after I put some time and effort into it I will have something unique. I always wanted a little ship.

I am thinking that anything deeper than 1/8 inch needs a patch. That is 1/2 way through the hull

Google 32 ocean star Trawler. Look for the add Boats 4 Work. Remember that those pictures were taken 5 or so years ago.

The engine has not been started in years. It sat in the engine room year round with water in the bilge. I suspect it was a steambath in there.

For the most and best picture Google 32 ocean star Trawler. Look under Boats 4 Work. The head is in the master bedroom. There is no second berth. The forward is a little office type area. Some of the rust is either through the hull or close to it. I counted at least a dozen spots that I would...

What price did he give you? He started at 20k for me.

I am waiting for him to get back from Florida. I have the cash in hand. Interesting.

The guy I am buying it from moves boats for a living. He brought it up from Florida on the back of his truck. It is now on the hard on the west side of Michigan. I have a 45 ft. lowboy flat bed. I will trim off as much as I can to make it short. after that ???

Sorry don't mean to keep adding on. 2 50 gallon fuel tanks. No generator. I went looking to hook up my generator to a shore line. I am pretty sure that a shoreline connection is a no-go. funny because there are some shoreline cables on board. I just hope that I am not biting off more than I can...

the guy had some good batteries in it. it took a bit to get them both wired in just to check the starter. The started engaged and hit hard but the engine didn't budge. The seller had the marina come down to look at the engine. The report was that the engine was locked up. The wiring in the...

The boat is on the west side. It sounds like you know Michigan. I live in Lapeer. I am going to trailer it back to my property.

I feel the same way. The advantage of trucking is that I have it on my own trailer. I bring it to my house. If I have 2 hours I can just go out in my yard and work on it.

Boats4work still has an add listed, but it is on the west side of Michigan now

Thanks you are the first person to express any interest in the progress of the boat. It is still on the west side of Michigan. I am closer to Port Huron. My help to load it is still in Florida.

I guess chat room is an antiquated term. Forum, may be the correct term here. I am new to this type of boating. There are places to go and things I want to see. At this point I just don't know what.I am going to look at a marina in Harrison just off Lk St Clare. Is it a good marina? I don't know...

I am in the process of picking up this boat. It needs a lot of work. I don't see getting it on the water for a year or better. There are 10 to 15 places that need to be patched. The electrical is a mess. I couldn't get power anywhere. Looking like the engine is locked up. A major cleaning will...

I have tried to start a new chat room for Great Lakes boaters. I just bought a 32' Ocean Star Pilothouse Trawler. I will have to be working on it for the next year or so. From what I can see I will be home port in Harrison off Lk St Clare. I would love to hear about places to go around the...

Thanks a lot of work. Should be worth it.

I realized that I answered a question you did not ask. I am not understanding this page. By the way you, can't erase things after you post them.

Don't know anything about Bahi. She spent the first 12 years in Florida. She is now in Michigan. I have to go get her from the other side of the state. I am going to be using her on the Great lakes.
