Yes, I realize that is not a word. However, I just wanted to share some thoughts and express my appreciation again for the HOF folks here. As you may know, I recently bought a 2001 56 Ocean. I had the pleasure or running it a total of six hours before needing to winterize it. Aside from an ECM...

The PO used clay to secure lamps etc. on tables and night stands. I'd like to remove the clay residue. What should I use that will not scratch the wood surface or remove the wood stain. Thanks.

I am usually pretty good at this but I am stumped. I have a Garmin 5212 chartplotter feeding Nav information to my Simrad AP 22 autopilot which is interfaced, I think, with my Furuno Navnet Two display being used as a radar display. I cannot get the waypoint lollipop to show up on the Furuno...

Here's a new one. My air conditioning pump will not shut down even when the breakers to all of the AC units are off. Of course, I can shut it down with its own breaker. Any ideas?

Anyone know anything about a Cat 3406e overspeed sensor 2 fault. It shows a code 273. Sensor 2 I am told, has already been replaced. Thanks.

Well folks, as of tomorrow, my 43 Open will be under contract. So, my search for a boat to replace it for use up North will begin. I hope to prevail upon the fine members of the HOF to assist in this effort and to provide the sage advice I have come to really appreciate. It also means I might...

Just received the renewal on my 74. The premium literally doubled with no claims. Not happening. Just a word of caution for those of you in the Florida area.

Any thoughts on a mid '90's 54 convertible? I see a few with light hours and modest prices. I know nothing about this model. Thanks.

Well, it looks like I might have spoken too soon on having no damage from Irma. It appears as if the battery charger on my bridge used exclusively to charge the 4D battery 12v battery on the bridge which itself is used exclusively for my bridge electronics appears dead. I am having it looked at...

I am taking a hard look at the cell phone plan I have that covers the six lines I pay for. The only line that binds me to my current carrier is the expensive aircard that I have onboard that I use for my CCTV cameras both at the marina and underway. It took forever to get that aircard configured...

I am selling a Furuno FCV 582 CRT fishfinder with sun shade. One short power cable (2") and no transducer. It works perfectly and has been in the pilot house of my Hatteras since new. Never exposed to weather. $475 includes shipping to lower 48. If interested, PM me for pictures and any...

I have a fishing question related to my 43 Hat. When I fish, mainly for bluefish and stripers, I use wire leader. When I take the hook out of the fish and release it back, I like to grab the leader in my left hand and use a de-hooker in my right hand. The fish range in weight from 10-40 pounds...

I am trying to get to the bottom of an issue on my 74. The output of the a/c fan in the VIP stateroom is pitiful. Frankly, it has been this way since I have owned the boat but I am finally getting around to trying to find out why. I have received feedback from Bruce Morrison and I would like to...

Well, the outlets on the port side of my saloon were dead, as were the outlets on the bridge and the overhead lights in the saloon. All breakers were fine. After about an hour or two of head scratching, and with an assist from Bruce Morrison, it turns out a GFI in the pilot house needed to be...

I recently had my 6 point monitor rebuilt by Flights Systems for an issue unrelated to what is discussed below. In the course of the rebuild, Flight Systems replaced all four relays. My problem existed before the rebuild and remains after the rebuild. It is minor but annoying. In a nutshell, I...

I understand that the 75' Glendinning shore power cords are getting stiff and are difficult for the Glendinning motor to retrieve on one side. The cables themselves work just fine. Is there any cleaner or other type chemical that I can use to refresh the cords so they are easier to bend and...

I was having problems with the systems monitor on my 43. It is a six point not a 12 point monitor. Steve at SAMS was very nice and offered to discount the one remaining new board that SAMS had. However, the price was still about $1,000 for the board. So, I called Flight Systems who had done the...

It looks like the documentation for my 43 expired two months ago. I never received the renewal but know that it is my responsibility to renew. Now the Coast Guard wants $450 for a re-authorization. It occurs to me that my vessel is not used in trade and will not leave the US. Also, it is fully...

I have a Clarion CMD4 head unit, a JBL 4 channel amp and four speakers plus a sub woofer speaker. The problem is the fader knob on the Clarion will only produce sound out of the five speakers when turned all the way one way. Without that, I get no sound out of the sub woofer speaker or two of...

The china bowl on my 43 has what appears to be hairline cracks on the inside of the bowl. The cracks are cosmetic in nature only and do not go through and through. The head works perfectly. It is a vacuflush head. Is there anything I can do to fix this cosmetic blemish? I'd rather not have to...
