One of the problems with owning the same boat for 12 years or however long it's been is that you become blind to the kind of thing you might easily notice and correct on a new-to-you boat...here's a case in point: The deck hatches on older Hatts are laminated fiberglass- in the center, they are...

Well that settles it. I was contemplating replacing my solid glass bow hatch with the type that provided passive light as you have. The plan was to close up the portlights for an updated exterior look & to obtain my lost lighting from the new hatch. Never considered the solar effect...that portion...

I recently purchased a 1986 Sedan 36 with 3208T 300hp. What fuel use should I anticipate?

The railing is brand new and the top is brand new too. The boat hasn't been moved like in 1 1/2 years.On the inside is the problem. Its...

I recently had my port trim tab lock in the down position, (trim tab fully extended). Since the tab is spring loaded to the "up" position, am convinced I have an air lock, and bleeding the system should correct my problem. Any advice on how to bleed the system? Cheers, Billy

When I had my 43DC shipped the flybridge had to be removed and all associated wiring disconnected. I have the 10" Rayline searchlight and now the lower controls do not work properly. When I move the "joystick" up/down the light turns horizontally and moving the "joystick" to the left/right moves...
