I had a run-in with a pump-out dock this week, (it came out of nowhere)! After pumping the holding tank the wind was putting me onto the dock. I did the Pascal move of turning the bow into the dock, then backing off. It worked well except something caught one of my stanchions and bent it...

Tomorrow I am having the boat pulled and will be winterizing the boat. I have done everything myself before but the engines. They are charging $195 per for doing this so I thought I'd save the cash this year and do it myself. I am going to remove the hose going to the raw water pump and connect...

Does anyone know how to remove/install aeroquip fittings on the end of fuel hoses? I removed 3 fuel lines today to replace and can't figure out how to get the fittings off. Do you need a special tool? Thanking you in advance, Ron :confused:

Well I finally started to repair the deck area under the windlass this week. I noticed water dripping from the bolts when it rained. Removed the galley maid and pupit and cut a 12" square hole above the windlass. It took me 2 days to get this far. Each bolt took about 20 to 30 minutes to remove...

Ever since I bought my boat 13 months ago the Onan generator 6.5k gas has had difficulty maintaining constant speed. If I adjust the idle and main carburetor jets it gets better then I put a load on it and it'll run all day long in spec. Just when I think I got it the next time I go to the boat...

I am about to clean my heat exchanger using the method described by Genesis but can't find the Ph-Ospho-RIC anywhere. The Home Depots in my area (South Jersey) don't have it. Is there another source for this product? If you know of one I'd appreciate it if you could post it. Thanks Ron :confused:

I removed the overhead hatch in the bow of my boat today and used 3M's 4000 to rebed it. It took me 20 minutes to squeeze enough compound out of the tube to do the bottom of the hatch. It was very stiff and I had to use all my strength. I was so disgusted I went to another marine store and...
