Can yall explain the theory of props on inboard boats. Why 3, 4, or 5 blades. In the outboard world, flats fisherman go to a 4 blade propeller for hole shot, but loose top speed which they make up with horsepower. How do you go about determining what is best for a specific inboard boat? I...

Is there a way to use a multimeter to test the senders that are on top of the tanks? I have sensors on my water tank and I do not know if they work or not. I dont want to remove them if I dont have to, but if I do have to, I will try.

I am having some trouble finding information and I am hoping yall can help. In June, we are taking our boat over to the Bahamas. It is clear to me what we have to do by purchasing the decal ahead of time and then what we do to enter the Bahamas customs. What I can't figure out is how to...

On my 50C, I have a forward bilge that has a false bottom. It looks as if it has been replaced at some point in the boats life, but I do not know why and by who. The bilge is isolated from all the bilges in the stern of the boat and it is where the anchor locker and forward A/C condensate...

I know that people have asked what type of bottom pain before, but I would like to see if yall can help me know the differences in types of bottom paints and their advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunetly when we purchased our boat we had to do a lot of work out of town in Panama City and...

In June, we will be taking the boat over to the bahamas. Our plan is to take the boat thru the Okachobee waterway to Stuart the week before and leave the boat there for the week before we leave. I have been doing some calling around, and I can't seem to find a Marina that can commit under...

I am going to start converting my A/C's to new self contained units so that I can get rid of the enourmous A/C shelf in my engine room. Do yall have any sources for Cruisair units online that is the best deal? Where do you all purchase your units from? I have 2 units that are toast and need...

Do you all have a source for Glendening Parts. I am trying to help a buddy who is doing some work on a Hatteras LRC. He has a broken tach generator.

Guys I need a little help trying to figure out the tach system on the boat in association with the glendenning. I am going to upgrade the tach system because the tach I have is a dual needle and is a pice of crap. The problem is that I can not figure out how the system works. Off i the...
