I've got a Givens 8 man offshore that due for a recert/repack. Givens hasn't been the best at communicating regarding their services (i asked them for a quote and what was included - got neither back). Anyway, they said, "Send it to us or send it to USA Services in Norfolk". Has anyone used...

Decided to take the extended family on an abbreviated weekend cruise over the last couple of days. I checked the weather on Thursday afternoon and NOAA had posted SCA's for most of the Chesapeake. Same report on Friday morning (2' - 3' with winds 15 - 20 knots). I decided to go for it and we...

Human nature says that it's easier to complain about service issues than it is to give compliments. That said, I'd like to give a little positive plug for Nobeltec! I'm in the process of upgrading my navigation hardware (computer is 10 years old). While I've come across most of the install...

I just saw this on a 58' LRC listed on YW and really like the set-up. Boat is Kingdom. I'm trying to find more information on who made this product. Thanks in advance!

We're planning on heading south after the Charleston LRC Rendevous in October of this year and will end up in SW Florida (Naples to Fort Meyers). I've been toying with the idea of buying a slip in the area (or maybe even in the Keys area) to leave Kismet. We don't need real estate as my...

Need the 90* 5" elbows for my 4-71's. Anyone have a good source and know what I should be paying for these? Thanks.

The marina informed me my First Alert Smoke/CO alarms went off the other day. I have 4 of these units on the boat (outside the engine room door, forward berth, master stateroom and kitchen). The alarms were signaling high CO levels as follows: Kitchen 52ppm Guest 59ppm...

For some reason, I can't click the smilies or access the toolbar in the thread controls. Something I'm doing wrong? Posting rules seem fine: You may post new threads You may post replies You may post attachments You may edit your posts

I'd like to add a fish/depth sounder to my Novurania RIB. I'm planning on doing a little fishing from it and also need to keep an eye on water depth. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but will go with a thru hull transducer as the Novurania's are 2 part sandwhich fg. It'll be out in the...

Does anyone have a connection on where to find (buy) one? A couple of the on-line resources are sold old. It's apparently 9 manuals. Retails for $450.00. Obviously, I'd like to find a set a little cheaper, if possible!

This is a terrific video on WWII Ace Jim Brooks and his P-51. Definitely worth watching.... http://www.asb.tv/videos/view.php?v=1bf99434&br=500

Anyone know where one of these can be found? Just used my last spare! Can they be rebuilt?

Anyone have a good source? Can't seem to find any at the moment. J&T and Detroit don't have any. Not desperate, just need to add spares. Thanks.

Sea Shepard Conservation Society lost a really nice boat yesterday! These guys are totally nuts, but I admire their tenacity!! Good footage here on Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=24284897&newsChannel=wtMostRead Here's Sea Shepard's biased report on what happened...

Has anyone used a SPWS on their Hatt's? I'm looking to set some up for my 3 banks of 32V Rolls and would appreciate any recommendations. I've searched the Rolls site and the internet, but have only found systems for 6 and 12 volt. Guess I could "rig" something, but a pre-packaged system...

There was a good clip on CNBC this morning from Pat Healy (Viking Yachts) discussing the recent increase in yacht sales. Nice to hear the industry in rebounding somewhat. Here's the clip: www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1340920205&play=1

"browsing" Yachtworld this evening and came across this "LRC". http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/Hatteras-Long-Range-Cruiser-2146210/St.-Charles/MO/United-States A couple of things struck me to think it's not an LRC: - no stairs to the master in the salon - doesn't appear to be a port...

Stepped on the boat this morning and noticed the notorious clicking of the console hour meter humming along. Of course, my first thought was that I left the port engine ignition key in the "on" position last weekend (done it before). interestingly, it was in the off position. hmmmmm....so why...

Got a call from the marina today saying an alarm was going off on the boat. Got there and found the alarm was a fault trip on the 240 service. At first, I thought the shore power had worked loose (high winds over the last 24 hours), but after getting a good connection, it still tripped. I...

While hauling Kismet out for the survey about a month ago, the yard (Pleasure Cove Marina in Pasadenda, MD), cracked the port splash rail and caused a small stress crack on deck outside the pilothouse. Both were obvious and the yard manager quickly commented, "Bill, if you keep her I'll fix...
