    Washer/Dryer Combo

    Our "new to us" American Tug has a Splendid unvented combo. The first couple tries were not very promising but we have learned that patience and reading the manual can pay off. The last couple loads went very well. Even the towels were fairly dry although it took a "LONG" time. The boss...

    Installing MFD

    Mike Run a fairly hefty wire, like a 10AWG from the main ground bus to a convenient location near your new installation and install another small buss for connecting items such as these as you add them. There is no problem grounding the AIS to the same location. The shield wire can also go to...

    SSB/Ham Antenna on American Tug 34

    I am buying an American Tug 34 and want to install a ham radio. What have other AT owners or Nordic Tug owners used for an Antenna? I am a licensed ham. On my sailboat I made an antenna by removing the core from some double braid rope and replacing it with a piece of wire. I won't have the...

    Removing Name from Transom

    We were advised by a sign company to use one of the plastic razor blade scrapers (yes, it uses a plastic blade that looks like an old single edge razor blade) and then remove the sticky stuff using rubbing alcohol. It's not a fun job.

    Roll attenuation

    I believe you have used both your paravanes and active stabilizers. In your opinion can a Krogen 42 be comfortable cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean with only paravanes?

    WEST Systen Six10 Epoxy

    I have used it to fill voids after removing rotted core material. It worked well for that. It tends to stay where you put it rather than running down the side of the work.

    Can I afford a KK42?

    Mike I think the fashion plates are the uprights between the side deck handrails and the boat deck. They look like they would be structural but I believe they are cosmetic covers over the actual structure. Is that right JDCave?? Tom

    For Sale: Norcold portable

    Think Twice before selling I got one of those 20 years ago when I bought my boat. After building in a refrain, I sold the Norcold and have been kicking myself ever since.

    Looking for port light parts for President 41

    They look like Beckson ports to me. Maybe the Becksons and the Bomars are the same. I'd do a search for each to find parts.

    KK42 Offset "Queen" master state room

    I have been interested in a 42 with centerline queen. However, we see some interesting differences when you look at the offset berth including the availability of 2 heads and lower asking prices. Can someone get me measurements of the width of the head and foot of the offset berth.

    Diesel electric fuel pump

    46 ft Durbeck Trawler

    There is a Durbeck Seaton Trawler named Borrowed Horse that goes to Georgetown in the Bahamas. I'm not sure what size it is but it does not have the large foredeck like the one in the picture you posted it. It was shaped more like a Krogen. Not sure of the correct terminology here. I'm a 35...
