I usually buy the one gallon treats 250 gallons. I see now that they have a one gallon treats 1000 gallons. Has anyone tried this concentrated version and is there any downside to using this new and improved concentrate?

Under a separate thread, I have described the ongoing problem I had with an overheated Genset. I do not want to overreact to a once in 40 year boating experience. With that said, I was curious whether anyone knows of any wireless remote temperature alarms that I might strap on to my two Onans...

I needed two new Icom mic's for my Icom VHF's (602's) because the curly cords were looking ratty. I searched all over the internet for new matching Icom mic's in the U.S. No luck. I then found a site where two new matching Icom mic's were being sold but were in China. Since it was not a lot of...

I recently had/have an issue with my 20 KW Onan MDKAE genset. I must have sucked up a plastic bag, because the unit overheated and shut down. Unfortunately, it did not shut down before I damage most of the salt water hoses and some of the fresh water hoses, burning a hole in the exhaust hose and...

Sorry to post a simple question but here goes. On my Northstar 6001, I am getting a no heading data error. The heading data is fed to the Nstar by a KVH 1000 heading sensor. I know the KVH is getting power. I have ordered a replacement for the KVH. However, it occurs to me now that it is...

I just finished my trip North from Jupiter, Florida to Long Island. As I did when I went South in the Fall, I thought I would post some figures in case it might help someone else along the way. Here goes: Total Nautical Miles 1,089 Total Gallons Burned 4,709 Total Cost of Fuel $10,245.56...

As I prepare to bring the boat North in a few weeks, I reviewed my notes from the trip South. One one leg, inclusive of an overnight run from Charleston to Titusville, I was out of cell phone range for many hours. This is not an email about safety, as I have four VHF's on board as well as a SSB...

Planning return trip to New York from Florida. I prefer to avoid Charleston City Marina. Anyone have a good alternative for reasonable fuel and one night's stay. Anyone ever been to Toler's Cove and is it a suitable place to fuel up and then shove off the next am? Thanks.

From time to time, I like to listen to the chatter on my SEA SSB. However, other than 14.300, I have never found a frequency that I can receive reliably that has chatter. For example, I should be able to hear the folks out in the Canyon when up North but have no idea what frequency they might be...

Does anyone have a source for 5/16" stainless push pins used on the Marquipt ladders and to secure the ladder to the rail other than Marquipt or BOW?

Same trip, new issue. My KVH Sat TV is acting up. I think it is a Tracvision 4. Get perpetual searching for satelite signal and an RF Comm failure on LED on small black box. The marine installer in Jupiter seems to think it might be a faulty multiswitch. I'm pretty good with the satelite stuff...

First day of vacation in Ocean Reef and having a problem with my air conditioning. Any suggests on who to use in a pinch. Thanks.

For the last several years, I would take my 74 and stay at Monatuk Yacht Club for about one month in August. With what I suspect may be a change in management, I am having a really hard time coming up with a monthly dockage plan. While I have been to most of the areas mentioned in the title, I...

The Admiral and I will be at Ocean Reef in a few weeks staying aboard our boat. I plan on taking a car ride to Key West for the day since neither of us has been there. I know it is fairly touristy but are there any things not to miss in a short day trip. Also, any restaurants that serve a nice...

As I watch the snow disappear here in the frigid North, I thought I would post this as the Spring buying season (read winter doldrums) sets in. What are some of the items that you had to have, carried from boat to boat, and just never needed to use? While I am not really talking about hard core...

I know it's a long shot but does anyone know a source for the 1" rubber that fits over the Marquipt cradle irons. I would like to replace the rubber and Marquipt advises that it only uses two inch rubber now. I can have the cradle modified to accept the two inch rubber pieces but would prefer to...

Okay. This is not a Hatteras post. However, as folks pass us buy in their new, Clorox bottle looking foreign vessels with windows (not port holes) at water level, I am constrained to ask is new technology necessarily better. Now that I have tried to tie this to the forum, I just want to rant on...

My CCTV cameras on the boat are run through a server and connected to a router that uses an aircard to access the AT&T wireless service. This is how I have internet access on the boat and how I monitor remotely my CCTV cameras when I am not on the boat. After trying unsuccessfully for more than...

I am considering having the bridge cushions reupholstered. The boat is in Jupiter, Florida. It is a fairly large job. Any suggestions on who to use/not use in that area? Thanks.

This is an old/new issue and I could use some help before the boys with the computers come and plug in. While it is not major, it is annoying. Two and half years ago, I got a flash code 35 on my port engine heading North. That is a high oil pressure voltage code. It never happened again for the...
