I was looking at a 53MY today and I mentioned to the broker that I would be thinking about putting in both bow and stern thrusters. He said there is a brand new thruster that works like a jet drive on a seado. He called it a bubble thruster. It attaches to the front of the hull and the only hole...

We keep burning out the Cruisair 250 electronic t-stats. I would like to put on a cheap manual t-stat for testing purposes. It does not seem to be compatible...I could be crazy, Any suggestions?

I have a resettable 70 amp breaker and a 100 amp ANL fuse in the engine room both connected to my windlass. It turns out that the 100 amp fuse has been blowing frequently (and, while I am not aboard). In other words, when I leave the boat and raise/lower the anchor to make sure it is straight, it...

I have a nice set of Steiners that I keep in the pilothouse on my 43 SX. The larger openings are always covered by the cups but the eyepieces remain uncovered. Despite this, they really do not see any weather. However, the eyepieces have started to film over and do not appear to want to clean up...

I am interested in a boat located in Miami but am not sure how to start this process. I have done a lot of research but not sure if it is better to deal with the listing broker or get one of my own. Also, I do not know any surveyors in the Miami area so I need advice in that department also. I...
