I am ready to redo the stanchions on the flybridge in the back. A couple are leaking so I am going to pull out all 4, hole drill, fill with epoxy and remount using backing plates (on the aft deck ceiling). I was planning on using WestSystem products. Any tips on what filler to use? Essentially...

Engines started normally, pumped out and added fuel and went to start engines. STBD engine wouldn't start, but starter relay on wall clicked, but starter solenoid did not. After looking at it for 5 minutes, I decided to manually start it by connecting the starter solenoid (on starter) to power...

This is a really neat boat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7nuFjdIySE There is also a website that talks about their design decisions... http://teddibearboat.com

Here is the new outlet in the master cabin closet. Simply had to drill a hole in the bottom of the guest cabin outlet box and mount the new box directly underneath. Then ran an extension cord to the TV.

There are end caps (came with the wall mount) that cover the bolts that weren't in the image. I'll post some images of the master cabin in a bit. Essentially the same mounting technique, a mahogany backing plate and 1/4 bolts. I installed an outlet next to the guest cabin outlet and spliced from...

This turned out to be simpler than I originally anticipated. Here are some pictures of the guest cabin. These are 32" TVs. The walls in these boats are pretty strong. I used a piece of 1"x3"x8" mahogany as the backing plate because once oiled it blends in well with the teak. All you need is...

Thanks for the pictures. The breakers for shore power are there on mine. However, there does seem to be an extra vent on the STBD side of the boat, just forward of the engine room vent (that the fan in the picture goes to). I wonder where the switch is. My gen was replaced in 2011 and the remote...

The closet lights on my boat are 110, per the wire diagram and per my testing. As are my AC units, and air handlers. The only 220 circuits are the stove and washer/dryer. Even the HW Heater is 110. There is an outlet for the guest room in the closet, I could use that, however, it would be near...

I have been installing TVs in the staterooms and trying to figure out the best way to get power to them. The master television is mounted on a swing arm in front of the closet. I was planning on using the power to the closet light, but that may be harder than running power from the A/C unit...

I am getting ready to redo the galley. The countertop, sink, cooktop and convection microwave with integral vent. I have fallen out of love with the original ModernMaid oven.:) Probably going with solid countertop, not granite. The dishwasher (under cooktop) and fridge are pretty new and...

Is the agreed value set by the survey, or can it be lower? In my case, I would like it lower. Is that possible?

Just checking to see if I have the shore power / generator sequence correct... 1. Turn off generator circuit breaker (should already be off) 2. Start generator, let idle and stabilize (steps 2 through 4 are enough time) 3. Turn off A/C at wall controls, also, anything else big (not...

What do most of you in the south do for humidity? The flakes (DampRid etc.) or dehumidifiers? I know some just run the AC, but I am not on the boat all the time. I am leaning towards DampRid for now, because I don't have to stow a pair of dehumidifiers, but if that isn't enough I will just get...

On my 1978 8v71TI they are N90, but as kelpy said, you should get it for your engine specially. Also note the WOT (no load) figure at the bottom right of the plate.

Thus far, this storm seems dead on to me:( Fortunately, I can have some wide lines, if the dockmaster allows me to move my boat over one slip. My biggest problem is that the pilings are 17 ft apart in my slip, and my boat is 15'10" wide, which doesn't leave much room. The slips to port and...

I am replacing the gaskets on my sea strainers. Is it good practice to use anti seize on the end cap threads?

Any diagnosis of this picture and how to resolve it? Thanks

Anyone cruise to Fort Jefferson? We will be doing the keys in the winter and I was wondering if it is possible to anchor near garden key (which I understand is 70 miles west of Key West) and dingy to the fort? Or is it better to leave our boat at Key West and take the ferry to the fort? Probably...

Trying Not To Sink (I forgot their name here) posted a video where their bilge started filling in the middle of the night. Their theory was that the bilge outlet was under water and was siphoning water in. Evidently, the original pumps in the engine rooms were off because the previous owner...
