My vote is find the boat you like. Slip assignment is between management and the renter, and your marina has already told you how they view it.

Heat helps a lot, so I second that but maybe use an electric heat gun. Is that upper nut part of the pipe? If so, consider a hammer wrench since impact also helps. But back the lower part as you are describing...

To expand on what Jim said, you should buy the LED bulb from Dr LED who actually have theirs certified by the USCG unlike most random Chinese ones. There was a contentious manslaughter lawsuit a few years back centering upon the illumination of nav lights--hate to be caught out for such a...

Thanks for follow-up. On my list to do also...

SOLD. Feel free to email if yours is broken; I managed to locate schematics and repair my original one...

Almost. Actually the number of knots slipping through a sailors fingers from a 30 second timer (hourglass) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)

Story of my life recently. (My contribution to Rusty's awesome efforts...)

In the marina where I am right now, I observe lots of boats turning 90 degrees to come in since I'm not too far from the entrance which is perpendicular to the main channel. Recently, like two or three times, I have seen boats coming in and hear their bow thrusters. My question is: do people...

This is an image looking directly down the transom of a 1970 53' MY at what appears to be the port trim tab. Some sort of recent event seems to have dislodged the (non-working) trim tabs placing one askew. I can only think the entire piano hinge must have let go at the pivot point and it is...

Also, Rusty many thanks for all of the humor over the years. I know not everyone is onboard, but it has generated many a smile for me... DAN

Left him behind?
