    Been doing more research on Sat TV/internet on the boat. If I'm understanding correctly, internet bandwidth is rather limited - sending multiple uncompressed digital images like I do a lot - is essentially a non-starter. Is that correct as well? Anybody who actually has/is using Sat internet on...

  5. Batteries

    I need to get some new batteries, and I called Sams. They have an 8v battery that some previous posts have mentioned, but it is much smaller than my current batteries in size, so i am assuming that it is not correct. I only need to replace the starboard bank, and it is for starting only. Will...

  10. Steering too Stiff

    Once again, my 43 sx is new to me. Since I bought the boat, I thought the steering was too stiff. It is a hynautic hydraulic unit. Assuming nothing is wrong with the rudders etc. is there a way to make the steering easier? I am wondering whether simply increasing the pressure (now at about 35...

  15. What causes this and what is the remedy?

    There is discoloration around a number of our stainless stantions and deck cleats, as can be seen from the attached photos. What is the cause, how does one get rid of it, and what can be done to prevent it in the future? Many thanks, Paul

  17. Running on Old Gas

    A friend aquired a boat with 350 gallons of 2 year old gas. My suggestion was to have some extra filters on hand, top it off (holds 400 gal) with fresh 93 octane and run it. That said, I was wondering if anyone here has had any good experience with these miracle in a bottle gas restorers?
