A plastic bag covered the AC raw water intake (when I moved the boat we saw it float away) and the AC stopped blowing cool air. The fan runs full blast but does not get cold. The stateroom AC works fine. How do I start to trouble shoot this problem ? Thank you, Greg

We just purchased our dream boat a 58' YachtFisher 1972 model. I am having tons of problems with air in the fuel lines. Can bleed the air out and she runs fine.

Found great suggestions on the forum for refinishing teak (afrormosia) paneling and cabinetry but not much commentary on cleaning the surfaces prior to applying oil or other finishes. Would appreciate some input on what chemicals and/or abrasive materials (bronze wool, 3M scrubbers, etc.) to use...

I'm hauling the boat next week to complete various chores along with a fresh coat of bottom paint. After nine calls over several days to the company's technical department I finally got through. I needed to find out if its compatable with Micron Extra and to find a source in S. FL. They promised to...
