I'm fairly new to Galley Maid heads. After not using the head for about a month, the bowl filled but wouldn't drain when flushed. The pump motor sounded normal. I checked the ball valve to the tank and it was open. What should I look for?

My 1990 65 Hat has an Ideal windlass on the bow. I've barely used it (only to remove and straighten the anchor shank), but there is quite a bit of oil now on the deck around it. Is there a seal on it that has failed and if so, how bad is it to replace?

I noticed another recent post on these controllers and I hoped someone could help me with my problem. My boat has 4 old SMX's that sort of work. I assumed it was their age that made them finicky and unable to hold a temperature, but after just replacing the 5th one with a new SMX 2, I'm not so...

I closed on my 1990 65 enclosed bridge and am adding a life raft. It is a 10 person round canister and weighs about 200 lbs. Is it reasonable to put it on the flybridge roof? The bow is cluttered enough with a davit and tender. Is the bridge roof structurally strong enough and would the extra...

I just joined on recommendation from a member of The Hull Truth, which I've also been a member of for many years. He felt I should ask the experts. I am waiting to close on a Hatteras 65 with enclosed flybridge; everything was good until the seatrial. Boat survey good, engine survey (16V92's)...
