Does anybody else have this divider in their forward locker? It doesn't look original, but I'm not sure if it supports the A/C evaporator. So I thought I'd see if it belongs there before I rip it out and have the air handler fall into the bilge.

I swear I have the WORST luck with air conditioning! I got a whole three days of running out of a brand new 16K self-contained unit (ran it in cool mode for 1 day, then heat mode for 2 days). Now, the compressor is seized. Everything else is working just fine - fan, pump, digital control,...

You guys are to be commended for being experts. Am looking to buy a Hat 54 MY. Come from a Silverton 40 and Californian 48 background (plus lots of small blowboat racing as a kid which I try to forget). I was wondering in reading the threads on range. I believe you said that 8 or 9 knots with...

I learned something today and I thought I would pass it on even though many of you may know it. WHen I bought the boat last year, the steering ram was leaking and the system would not hold air pressure. I had the local Hynautic shop rebuild the ram and after installing, everything worked fine...

I'm thinking about swapping out the sleeper sofa and loveseat in my salon, and I'm not sure what way to go. I want a large sofa (possibly L shaped) with storage under all of it) but I don't want it to look like it came out of an RV. All the boat furniture places seem to be stuck in the same...
