    US Couple in Caribbean feared dead

    That was really sad , I am sure the bad guys will get justice , on travelling with a gun , Jamacia used to have a special prison if your caught with a gun , it was built so you could not stand up in it , owning a bullet could get a life sentence , cheers

    Are lighthouses still useful?

    I see them as useful landmarks for night and daytime running , a good one to point out would be Cedar Point light just south of Solomons Md at the mouth of the Patuxent , it guarded the long rocky out crop for a long time , until the building was heavily damaged at some point ( from sand...

    Although mine may not need a waterlift it has one and the water exits 3-4 inches above the waterline from a pipe that has a small amount of down angle and out the back , maybe a 6ft run , how high above the water is your exhaust outlet ?

    Hello there! I have a question about a trawler

    I would reccomend a survey , even if you need to replace the motors you need to be sure the hull is worth it , there should be a lot of trawlers or boats in general from the last hurricane in florida if you want a project

    Cutting an 8D battery

    Think of the corrosion that could happen , just a drop of acid on jeans will leave a hole , you could be starting a corrosion issue in important parts , look at it like this -the water heater could use a good flushing and anode replacements anyway . best of luck

    JD coolant system service ballpark cost

    I was floored on your initial price ! it makes the revised price sound like a deal , it just seems that service prices are really getting crazy , would a perkins or a 6-71 detroit ever need 5k in "service" not repairs , but service ? end of rant : )

    Boat buying debt

    One thing I have not seen posted is the insurance implications if the boat is financed , or can you afford or be able to comply with the insurance company , they can dictate annual surveys , where it is docked during hurricane season I even saw a post of them wanting a full time captain (...

    Diesel in SS water tank. Now what?

    I agree with getting it thru an access or right at the tank nipple to keep it out of the pump and piping , a cheap fuel pump should pump the fuel off the top , put it in a 55 gal drum to separate it the rest of the way , some one will want it for home heating , then pick your poison to clean...

    News article about derelict boats after Ian

    In the past the insurance company would auction them off , I have seen they would group them in lots (25 to a lot for example) and you got the whole lot and had to move them , for the private owners I suspect the city or town would condemn them to get title , I saw one auction that was selling...
