News 10 said he was headed south out of the pass. 600 yards wide . Arrest made!

Sold! Waterfront sold today to a person that has said for several years that he wanted to buy her. He had been out of town for a short time, but when he found out she was for sale he made an offer I could not refuse. Both of us are happy.?

We have enjoyed Waterfront for the past 8 years, but now it is time to move on to new adventures. Bucket list, next item. Perkins 6-354 135 hp na, 8kw westerbeke genset, bow thruster, windless, dometic hvac, all electric galley. ports replaced with newfound metals ports. lots more. This vessel...

To finalize the saga of the air conditioner re-do, I now have AC . I got the condenser coil from Dometic. I actually had to cut the aluminum housing for the condenser away from it. Bulled the old unit out and installed the new one. A friend in the ac business came over and soldered the new one...

Two years ago I replaced the hvac unit on my 35ft trawler. I bought a Dometic ecd16k unit from West Marine. Two weeks ago the air conditioner quit cooling. I had a tech to come and recharge the unit and he could find no leaks at that time. Two days later no more cool air. I removed the unit...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will send pics when finished.

This is the failed joint. Refinish is in progress. Advice needed.

Whatever the nomenclature :rolleyes: the wooden parts.I will get a close-up photo of the joint this afternoon.

I have a scarf joint that has separated on my caprail. My thoughts are to clean out the material in the joint, refasten , and then fill with epoxy. After it sets up, sand and fair the area and then refinish. Are my thoughts correct or is there another method to make this repair?

For anyone dumping raw sewage into the waters of Florida the fine is $250.00. The fine for noncompliance of equipment is $50.00 per item. It is actually cheaper for me to use a holding tank and pump-out. Most marinas have pumpout facilities if they sell fuel. Think about it the next time you go...

Sounds like you are looking for relief from the sun. I also have a stamoid bimini on the flybridge with clear isenglass enclosure. We had panels of a shade-cloth material made of phyfertex from sailrite that zip in inside the enclosure. It virtually disappears in the bright sun and you can...

I heard that one tea-spoon of gas was equal to one stick of dynamite if it were to explode. Just Sayin !!!

After chasing rabbits, I made sure that fuel was being pumped all the way through to the return line. Then I backed the fuel line off the injectors and turned the engine over... no fuel at the injectors... fuel at the input to the injector pump .... ((Make sure fuel solenoid lever pulls in...

Sorry about the confusion, the engine turns over but won't start. I can hear the fuel pump run as soon as I press the preheat button. I am going back to the boat this morning to bleed at the injectors. If this does not help then possibly jumper over the temp sensor and/or the oil pressure...

I have a westerbeke 8kw genset that shut down after my impeller went south. After replacing the impeller in the raw water pump, I decided to go ahead and replace the two fuel elements on the set. According to the manual this engine is self bleeding in that it has an electric fuel pump. What am...

Measure twice, pack once Packing is sold in sizes 1/8 inch to 5/8 inch and I am sure larger sizes too. Be SURE that the packing is the right size. To small and it will leak, to large and it will overheat if you can get it into the box. As was previously stated measure you shaft diameter...

I had exactly the same trouble when I first bought my Present 35. It seemed that every time I left the slip, went somewhere and used the thruster, then came back the thruster would crap out when I tried to get back in the slip. The problem was that the battery was only being charged when I was...

For peace of mind and heart get a towing policy! Boat U S or Seatow , your choice. Any tow you need will more than pay the premium

How many hours That is not a lot of hours! I just replaced the exhaust elbow on my 1984 Perkins 6-354 na. This engine has almost 3400 hours and the elbow was original to the motor.

Waterfront, my trawler is currently in Carrabelle. I had to come home for a few days for a Dr. appointment but will be returning to the boat next week. I have not done the crossing to Stienhatchee, but that is my probable course. Lots of people can give you their opinions but ultimately you must...

Another bullet has been dodged! It is still better to keep your head down. Hope my new exhaust elbow gets here soon so we can get back to cruising on down toward Appalachicola It has not been bad here though,right by the Oar House restaurant .

I saw you get hauled yesterday and thought I recognized the name. I am still in the water at Bahia Mar but the owner assures me that he can get my boat out if required. My exhaust mixer elbow went south, literally to have a new stainless one made so I am without a motor! Hopefully the new part...

We will be leaving our homeport in Fairhope Al. next monday on a slow trip to the keys. I am interested in exploring some of the areas of the Big Bend area to include Panacea, St. Marks, Carabelle and on down to Stienhatchee. I know from the charts that the water is skinny in most of this area...
