So "a friend" sent me a link to a video about a Hatteras M/Y. It's a very good video with lots of footage eh-hem (and frontage) of the boat and of "other interesting things to look at" but I really don't think I should post it here. There are quite a few people have a big party & it appears to...

Does anyone else have a Maxwell RC10? I am just about to install a new one but found something disturbing in the instructions. In the "operation" section, it says to lower or raise the anchor, I have to first walk out with a hand crank to lock down the clutch????????????? This isn't what I...

I just bought a windlass to install on my '95 50'C. I've done this installation on a couple of prevous boats & was not looking forward to running wires all over the boat. I just had a peak in the rope locker & what did I find? A very neatly bundled, heavy gauge wire set mounted to the...
