Since I've owned the boat...I really have never seen any water in my starboard bildge. I never seem to take on even the slightest amount which makes me nervous b/c I know that the shaft logs are supposed to drip a little bit...especially when running. So, I started loosening the shaft log...

Hello, I recently added a fleetguard filter to my existing fuel filtration system. I have VT8-370s so my set up is prob different than most. Originally I had twin racor 1000's set up which then fed into a big blue canister on the side of my engine. Inside the canister was a drop in type...

please see attached! I'd love feedback!

Has anyone stayed in Stamford Harbor? Any recommendation as to good marina? I was thinking of Stamford Landing Marina. Also, I know Stamford is pretty large city...and kind of industrial, but most of my trip is going to be in quaint towns...thus I was going to go to Stamford for a little...

I thought our limit for posting pics was upgraded....I am at 326.9kb and when I try to upload anything more, it says I have like 15k of upload space left.

I recently had electricians aboard doing some work on my boat. I think that when they work working inside main helm (opening & closing helm station) that they somehow screwed up the seal inside the steering wheel box b/c I have had hydraulic fluid leaking out of front of steering wheel where...

Well, in October of 2005 I started this project....the existing 2 bunks in the second stateroom were in bad shape so I removed them and had a new bunk built on the left side of room (as you walk in). It still has water tank underneath so I had bunk built a little higher than original to...

Was down in Deep Water Cay off of Grand Bahamas (not on my boat) a few weeks ago and saw this Hatteras living on the hook....didn't know if Andeamo was a member of this forum (didn't find name in member list), but thought it was a great example of someone enjoying their Hatt & a great Hatt...

Can anyone post how to check the amount of "charge" left in your coolant? I know there is a certain tool that is used and was wondering what that was and what correct levels were (does this change based on engine type)?

hello, I'm ready to install the snake river ultra 8 system for my 2 diesel tanks and 3 water tanks. First question is does anyone who has installed this remember the measurements for the cutting of the sensor / senders (..actually, on that logic I wonder if snake river keeps on file)? Second...

Hello, I remember awhile back seeing someone post pictures and an explanation of how they built ductwork over cruiseair output vent on their stern salon AC unit. I think the intent was to repipe the airflow so that they could either have it come into salon, go out through the wall into stern...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a quick tool or easy solution for sighting in a satellite tv dish to acquire signal? I currently have a dish mounted on my vessel for while in the marina. I was looking into getting a Tracvision system then I saw the price tag. So, now I'm back to keeping my...

Does anyone have any suggestions on a scooter or moped that is relatively cheap but that they've owned for some time and had a good experience with in terms of functionality and being able to handle life on a boat? I was thinking of getting a knock-off of a Vespa and putting it up on the...

Has anyone worked with or heard anything about New England Marine Electronics out of Norwalk Cove Marina? I have some large projects and need an excellent ABYC electrician who is reasonably priced and will travel to weehawken, NJ. I have been speaking with New England Marine about the projects...

I recently left my Cruise Air running for several days by accident. I have a 3 dial control (original type) and had the top dial turned off (the one that has off, start & run), but I had left the 2nd dial on which I guess kept the water circulating through the a/c unit (even though fan upstairs...

Does anyone else feel like their boat is bankrupting them? :)

Hello, I had two questions would like to solicit advice on: 1) does anyone have any recommendations on type of galvanic isolator to use and where best to buy? For those who have, do you have any feedback on their use? 2) anytime I'm off the boat for more than a day, when I flush one of my...
