Current events: Ms SC does it again! Check it out: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=16914127

I didn't want to steal JLR's thread (cleaning binnoculars) so I thought it best to start anew and ask what is best to clean electronic's screens (GPS, sunder, radar, PC, coke machine, etc.). Before you say read the instructions, I have. And no two suggest the same thing. Also, if I'm correct...

Anyone used this? I just recently downloaded the software (free). From what I understand it's a software that interfaces with ENC (electronic navigation charts) like the ones free at the USCG. Which brings up another issue: are USCG ENCs temporarily suspended? (I just attempted an attachment...

Shakespeare 407 Chrome 4-way. JMS Online sells for $69.95. Yours for $35.00 + shipping. (770-377-0295)

A rare find! Works like new! Very accurate! Requires no electrical power! $300.00 value! Yours for just the shipping cost to your front door! Don't pass this up! PM Capt'n Bill NOW! (measuring tape not included)

It's a 12V air supply device and snorkle for "shallow" diving. Seems good for cleaning props, etc. (I used to be NAUI certified but got out of it long ago due to a bad ear. But this thing is tempting in that I would only be going down about 5'). Maybe there's something else out there at a...

After many years of chipping small bits of gelcoat, creating fractures and otherwise manifesting poor workmanship, I have finally reached the conclusion that really don't know what I'm doing. Ok. That admitted, (I'm embarrassed to ask) how do you drill a small hole in fiberglass/gelcoat, about...

Hope everyone is out on the water today and that the weather is great wherever you are. Also that your 4th is a safe one. Oh, and BTW, thanks to all American service men and women who fought over the years so that we as a free nation can have this day to celebrate. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I removed an OEM battery box which was bonded to the flat section in the bilge floor between the engines (the box was old and starting to break up). To tear it out it ripped up a section I wouldn't call gel coat but was a section of coating over the original floor matting...

Talk about taking over. (we were in New Bern, NC last week). Note the make of boat in the first pic! Then look close behind the ladder on the second pic, one egg can be seen.

Did the plant tour thing. Impressive! (Didn't make any deposits though) Sorry I was not able to hook up with other Forum users. Did however stop by the "tabernacle slip" and view the "Shrine"...(hope this connects..

I first spotted her last February somewhere in upper South Carolina. Saw her again mid April and made these pics. Don't know the history behind her but possibly owner could have fell ill or whatever. Maybe she's tied up in an estate. Regardless, we all see this time to time. It's a shame it...

As a preacaution I am having my raw water engine pumps rebuilt to include impellors, seals and ball bearings (Jabsco 7420-1001). Originally I had ordered new impellors and seals. Then when a friend with the same series Hatteras and pumps as mine had a bearing seize I also ordered these as well...

can't seem to remember what it was. Ever get that funny feeling that you are forgetting something but are not sure what it was..... Oh! I think I remember, something about that Pollock boat guy out in Sneeds somethingorother...., N.C... What was it???? YES!!!!! . . . . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

Re: 40' DCMY. Bought el cheapo 12V pump for ship's general fresh water system last year. The local WM only had a weak unit that served to only get me by. Now I want something that will deliver decent pressure - at least 40 PSI (or better) and can service two heads, galley, wash down, etc. (but...

This coming July the "Admiral" and I will be attending a meeting in Albequergue, N.M. While the meeting will last only three days we are taking a whole week so as to enjoy visiting N.M. We have this idea that the area aroung Santa FE perhaps has a lot to see and do. What I need advice on is...

Can anybody recommend a security system for a boat. I'd be interested in what some of the members are using and what works (or seems to anyway). Thanks,

Anybody know what is the normal operating temperture for 3208 CATs? (no response from boatdiesel.com or gregorypoole.com (CAT dealer). Also, not in owner's manuel either! I would just like to have a general idea exactly what the cruising temperature should be (or range). (Hell, maybe they have...

(I started to combine this Thread with a previous one but I wanted this particular one to stand so as to get as much feed back as possible) Just this morning I spoke with a Freightliner Service Manager about what he recommends for engine coolant flush. For 27 years he has been using....(sit...

In Feb. 2004 (Nobody You Know) engines were flushed and refilled with Dexcool Extended Life Coolant. While I'm sure the running time per year is way under the life of the coolant a Freightliner dealer and a CAT dealer (not the same) advise that the coolant is good for 5 years. The litmus strip...
