Becky and I are thinking about Christmas in Belize. Anyone know of deals on bare boats down there? Sail or motor either is fine. Thanks in advance!:cool:

I am refinishing and cleaning hinges on the aft deck of our 43DC. There is a small cabinet that I took home to do there. while taking the doors off 7 of the small screws (#10X3/4 maybe) the heads broke off. What is the best way to get these out? They all broke about 1/8" under the screw head...

Has anyone installed these and how well do they work? If the answer is yes can someone with little or no knowledge of air conditioning install them? I can run the rack on the engines and I know where the A/C switch is! Big difference in price from cruiseair however I am more concerned with...

Greetings ALL, Does or would a bow thruster add value to a boat and is there a way to calculate that. We are wondering if it adds value, how much. The reality is we are going to end up with one but the discussion is ongoing with my bride. For discussion purposes lets use top quality electric...

The RIB has been setting in Charleston and the cover blew off. It appears to have mildew spots all over and some black streaks running down the inside. Tried Starbrite mildew stuff following the directions. Followed with pressure wash with a 900lb machine. It took about half of it. I know...

I need the door width and the length and width of the Starboard side of the Salon. Found some furniture on sale but do not want to pull the trigger without knowing it will fit. Thanks!!!!!:cool:

This question is for primarily the folks with 43 DC's. Both the main Salon and the master condensers are quite dirty and partially blocked by dirt, dust, crud etc. The PO removed the filters except for fwd vee berth. How do you access these areas and what can you use to clean them properly? In...

So far our trip from Charleston to Panama City has been flawless. Yesterday afternoon I noticed the Starboard temperature creeping up so I shut down to investigate. Bilge had anti freeze and coolant is pouring out the weep hole on the pump. Got on the phone and found a Mechanic and asked for a...

Good Morning All, There is a 41 TC on yacht world for sale in Annapolis named Miss Kathryn. Any one have any info on her? I have a friend who might be interested. PM if you wish. Thanks, Russ Appleton:cool:

We are moving "Slow and Easy" from Hilton Head to Stuart and the first leg of her journey to the Gulf coast. Leaving Saturday Morning and will give updates on the way. It will be a Slow and Easy trip planning 7 days or what ever it takes. See you in the ditch!:cool:

This question is for those of you with long shafts................................................................................................................Now that you have relived your youth. When we got our boat it had 1 Zinc per shaft. (43DC) When we replaced we stayed with what we...

We are moving our 43DC from Hilton Head to Panama City and want to do it in two parts. We are taking 8 days for the first part and looking for somewhere inexpensive to leave it for a month. We are looking for suggestions based on actual experience. We are thinking anywhere between Stuart and...

Does anyone on here have experience removing the shower heads from the exhaust elbow on the 6-71 TI? I have slightly reduced water flow on the starboard side and the engine has creeped up to 185 now that the water has warmed up. The heat exchanger was rebuilt and impellers replaced at the same...

We have seaworthy insurance now. Original deal was: no restrictions on cruising area, Stated value by survey, and normal contents coverage. Not a great deal money wise but we liked the no restrictions. The boat spent most of the year in the yard (and they knew it). Renewal just showed up: still...

We have a new Raymarine I-50 depth finder and Garmin 4212/4208 units. Cause I ain't the brightest bulb on the tree I did not ask about getting them to talk to one another. Our trip down the ICW and going back and forth like a dog watching windshield wipers has since changed my mind. Will they...

The morning we are to go home the water does not work. No circuit breakers popped. Open E/R and lights are out in there too. Check batteries and starboards are dead (three weeks old 8D's). A quick bit of trouble shooting and find the BUSS fuse located directly above the starboard battery switch...

Our old girl made it like a champ! 22.7 KTS @ 2100RPM just before entering Skull creek. Generator(ONAN MDKAL 9KW) 445 hours since new starts, takes the load, and runs between one and two hours and quits. Now a little hard to start. Fuel filter has 8-10 hours since change however tanks were...

We are splashing on 3/20 and hanging around Charleston until the weekend. Hilton Head for a month. Savannah for a month and then the trek to the gulf coast. My question is......How much time should we allow from Isle of Hope marina to Pensacola. We plan to run at 8 kts at least 10 hours per...

We want to paint our aft deck with a decent non skid. We would like something that would dry in 24 hours or less. Ideas, suggestions? Thanks! Becky and Russ:cool:
