I agree - have whistle and several air canister horns if main horn fails

Bell Thanks - since the regs still say a bell will probably get one - been trying to find one on-line but all seem to be $200-$300 bucks - seems kind of high for a silly 8" bell?:nonono:

Can anyone confirm that the coast guard dropped the requirement that vessels over 39 feet are required to carry a ringer bell? Thanks , Tyler Temple

Appreciate it - will wait till we get to the gulf for the inspection

Thanks- will look up!

Think a yacht by definition is over 26 feet

Heading to Mobile and the Gulf very soon - any advice on getting boarded by the Coast Guard?

In reference to the primer, are you referring to the tar-epoxy? Thanks, Tyler

It's a 44' semi-displacement steel hull - two coats tar epoxy & two coats Pettit Trinidad. The sandblast is $1,000 - it's the damn paint that's almost $2,600 !! 8 gallons tar and 7 Trinidad ?

Thanks - labor at 20 hours - 8 gallons tar epoxy and 7 gallons Pettit paint, seems like an awful lot paint? It's a steel boat and requires sand blasting as well

Getting quotes for bottom painting 44'' steel hull, pretty good condition - running about $100 p/foot includes haul out, power wash, sand sweeping and two coats cole tar epoxy & two coats Pettit Trinidad. First timer, does this seem like a good price? Appreciate any advice .

Great link, thanks.

Any adventurous souls ever tackle a trip to Cuba from the Keys?

Looking at getting an AIS for my trawler. Vessel is primarily in river environments. Any suggestions, input would be great.

Just realized we have raw water intake for the two heads and an aluminum holding tank. Not sure what will happen when vessel is in saltwater, drawing salt water into head and waste holding tank that is aluminum. Any help is great.

Another issue - would appreciate anyone who can refer me to someone who works on heads and waste systems in Chattanooga

Just spoke with Teri, she's great. I think we are in the right direction.

Jat - thanks - did you install or a contractor, what was the cost?

Thank you!

Thanks RT - I have some odd sized port-lites, hard finding exact fit

Good luck! My hat is off to you, enjoy your new life!

Need help with sources for port lites for my trawler.ant suggestions much appreciated.

We just moved out trawler to Island Cove in the Chattanooga area. Brand new piers, swimming pool and full service marina with lift. Only drawback is they don't sell diesel.

Got it, thanks

A delicate topic here; would appreciate all points of view
