There's more going on but I don't want to over complicate it. Short version is that a new autopilot pump was installed, and as a result I had no steering, or more correctly, sketchy steering at lower helm. Many turns some movement..... On a sea trial at WOT, but i digress. Air in the line. Yes...

I'm sure some of you were wondering where I went..... Everywhere and nowhere. I'm sure those of you a few years ahead of me are snickering as I confess that two years into retirement I am (still) working my tail off so I can relax. 20 gallons of "stuff" in a 10 gallon bucket. I need to slow...

2006 Avon inflatable, 10'2", model RIB 310 Lite, with 2000 model Tohatsu 9.8, all on 2014 Load Rite trailer. The dinghy is a rigid bottom, all in good condition with pump, trailer straps, plug and dock line. The Tohatsu is very clean and has been professionally serviced annually until 2020 when...

Don't know if he'll be posting here. I signed up for email notifications and it appears he's updating his blog again. Time for one of the setbacks..... https://1969chriscraftroamer46.wordpress.com/2022/02/06/1969-chris-craft-roamer-46-refit-2022-whooped-tent-model-xxx/

No not talking about the built in ones, that's a bag o' worms I don't want to open right now. Talking about how to get the water out of the myriad of low spots in our vast, rice paddy like network of bilges. I keep a dry bilge. When I do work there's spillage. Winterizing, cooling system work...

Or a different wet exhaust system. Genny is LOUD. Not inisde the boat, it's in a sound box, but outside. The exhaust and water noise is substantial enough where I would not be comfortable running it all night in an anchorage with other people close(ish) by. Exhaust goes into a simple standard...

No, not the name of my new band..... The number of 53 MY's currently occupying 4 out of 32 slips on my dock......... Love it. Sorry, couldn't get them all in one camera frame....

Finally worked my way to the last sanitary hose to be replaced. Had to cut a hole in the top loading cabinet next to the steps and then through the side wall behind it. A "picture frame" around the first cutout piece and it will look fine and be a permanent access. Then with my cheek flat on...

I'll just leave this here..... (and yes, I wonder about stability too....)

I have some scratches on the hull that are not going to "rub out". Thinking of grinding out slightly and then using gelcoat as it will sand and buff to a shine. (I will tape off carefully to keep it as small as possible. Color of course is key. Has anyone tried "oyster white" from Jamestown? Or...

So I got 4 nice SS swivel wheels for my Marquipt boarding stairs, alas the shaft of them is 7/8 and the tubes on the stairs are 13/16. They are worbled out a little at the end which is where I THOUGHT i had 7/8. So the new ones go in 1/4" and that's it. I have three choices. 1 Buy the correct...

Have had a slight "sanitation odor" in the forward cabin since we got the boat. It got worse after I removed the washer door and trim to install the new units. In fact that compartment was the worst. Turned out the vent hose that runs there for the larger centerline tank was automotive radiator...

Nice floating docks at Tolchester on the Chesapeake........

3 53's........More pictures to follow. This is cool.

There's a saying in aviation that checklists are written in blood. I have a checklist on the boat. It's flow is just like it was in the cockpit...... Before Start-After Start-Before Shutdown etc.... It contains items out of the Hatteras manual and my add ons. It is updated regularly. I print it...

Just bouncing this off the brain trust here. Trying to decide if there is an issue, or that it's normal.... The new Rolls bank is warm. As in 95ºF warm, and it's bubbling (Barely audible and not overflowing). Ambient in the generator room is 83ºF so a Delta of 12ºF. New Analytics Systems...

In the heat (as in 93ºF) of the battle I didn't take a picture, but it was pretty slick. Docked the boat at low tide on a bulkhead right next to the sliding side door of my van. Two 2"x6"x9' (They were damaged 12' shortened to 9'.....Home Depot from the "cull pile" 70% off) between the step on...
