Yea, I wish I had to too! The repower thread got me thinking.....if you did, and it had to go into the boat, what would you do with it? Repower? Repaint? Add stabalizers? Full galley and head makeovers? A new dinghy, and remote controlled davit? Hydraulic swim platform and a really annoying...

Two Hats, tied up nose-to-nose No Name Harbour. If you were lookng at the right time, you might have caught Pascal doing something quite interesting with a large orange ball.... Ahhhh, talk about living. Maybe we can do a coordinated wave at a certain time to all of you online....

Hat vs. Barge.....think a Sea-Ray could have taken this hit and stayed afloat? "Vessel sustained fiberglass damage when a barge drifted into her port side. VESSEL DID NOT SINK OR TAKE ON ANY WATER. Vessel sustained exterior damage to the bow port hole, rub rail, engine vent, spray rail...

I really missed you guys this weekend...... Took a trip over to a friends dock. They have a lot way up by the headwaters of one of the rivers that feed our lake, where they've placed a dock with shore power. I ended up playing too long with a new toy (that's another story) and we went up at...

So we can all watch the storm! ;)

OK, I shouldn't have said a word in that thread last week about how reliable my vacu-flush has been....yes, it heard me, and now wants some attention. I've lost the seal in the bowl, which I've read isn't all that hard to fix, but not that I'm faced with it, I'm more interested in details...

I've noticed several times in my travels here how "the most users online" always grows, and has a recent date associated with it. So here it is, 10:40 on a weeknight, and here's our stats: 21 members and 19 guests Most users ever online was 63, Today at 11:46 AM My, how the forum has...

So, with the evening coming to a close, I've finally managed to replace the impellers on Sanctuary. I'm embarrased to say it took the better part of two days, but thought I would share the lessons learned. First, the impeller puller sold for this purpose leaves something to be desired...

This impeller is on it's 2nd season, so it MUST have some life left in it! Who wants to take a shot at putting it back together? The 'qualified mechanics' that installed it used a lot of goop on the o-ring, and some of it was still on the wear plate. New wear plate, cam and impeller going...

I'm putting new hoses on the 8v92's on Ang's 58, and FDD gave me the wrong gasket for the thermostat housing, which has to be removed to get to one of the hoses...in fact a lot of #@Q$ has to be removed to replace these little 3" hoses! Was wondering if anyone has tried RTV or similar in lieu...

While I'm down on Ang's boat next week, we're going tool shopping for the boat. Beyond the obvious (sockets, extensions, ratchets, breaker bar, wrenches, screw drivers, vice-grips, etc), have any of you found any "must have" specialty tools that have proven useful? How about tools that serve...

Looking for sources for 32v pumps that might be less expensive than West. Also, I'm sure we'll need other 32v bits as well, such as blowers, light bulbs, etc, so any sources for things or vendors to avoid, would be greatly appriciated. With regard to the pumps, will standard float switches...

The lower helm of my 41C was left intact when the boat was repowered, and I like the original look, even if the guages are non-operational at this point. Two of the temp guages were replaced with black guages at some point, and I'd like to find some of the aqua/green faced guages to fill those...

Looking for opinions on the motor mounts for a 58 YF we're looking at. The pics attached are of the port side mounts wich look pretty decent, but aren't through-bolted. A follow-up message will include the starboard mounts, which look pretty rough to me. -Ed G.

I've got a puzzling fresh water issue I thought I would run by the group.... I've been noticing that when I remove the cap to fill my water tank that there is a bit of suction that is released. The vent line is clear, as water easily flows out of it when filling the tank. I'm not sure what...
