I have some wires on the sundeck on each side, port and Stbd, on the stancion in between the wing door and the aft corner of the sundeck. Actually the wires come through the stancion and it is 12V and maybe used for a light or something. Also there is a little hook on the stancion like...

I have searched but couldnt find any results on window caulking. I have a couple of small leaks that I found around two wiindows. I dont feel like re-bedding the whole window. It looks like the rubber seal has a few cracks in the corners. I believe I could just dab some caulking in the...

Last week I started my engines and noticed the strb not pumping any water. I turned it off and checked the sea cock valve. It was open. Started the engine again. It then belched and started pumping a little. Eventually it started pumping water but not the volume it normally pumps. It also...

My Sea strainers are mounted horizonally. Most of my friends in the marina give me a funny look when I tell them this. When I clean them out, it dumps water all into the bilge. I just dried the entire bilge and want to keep it dry. Is there a good way to open the side door of the strainer...

I hauled out today. My nerves are shot !!. Started with pulling out of the slip with 15-20 mph, gusting to at least 30 mph. The cape Fear river had 3-4 ft swells. I took the waves on the nose with spray coming over the bow. The 43 MY did great. Pulling it into the American Fish Yard lift...

I sanded the teak on the pulpit and re glued the hause pipe cover. Thats where I thought it was leaking from. Now, I took off the canvas that covers the entire pulpit, and it rained today, it leaked like crazy. Where the heck is the water coming from? Can the water go in from the winless? or...

Just a note to how cool this site is.... Its was a first for me. I read that Ron and Charm on their 53' MY was coming up the ICW last week, so I put out the welcome at Deep Point Marina in Southport, NC. They stopped in Sat. evening, tied up right next to me. We went out to eat in town and...

I know this subject prolly has been beaten to death, but here goes. I'm going to start cruising trhe ICW in a few weeks and do not have a plotter. Thinking of using the laptop but cant see it in the sunlight. Standard has a 7", the Horizon CPF 390i from Anchor Express for $860. Internal...

I'm currently working night shift (1800-0600), so when I arrived back at the boat this morning I heard a clunk, clunk, clunking noise coming from the ER. I turned one of the units off, then heard the other unit clunking as well. I figured my AC seawater pump was broke. The motor was running...

My Co2 bottle is in the Hydro shop and I was disapointed that the heat sensor wouldnt fire. Thanks to the people around here, I learned that the fittings might be loose. I tightend a couple of them, then went to the place where it connects to the main firing Mechanism. Hey, it was loose. I...

I know this is a dumb question. I have looked in the owners manual and drawings and have not found the locations of the motors to the 3 ventilation exhaust ports to the galley and the two heads. The ones with the little screens on them. The one in the fwd head works. The galley and the aft...

Here's the story.... Bought the Hatt last month. Surveyor noted all fire ext. and Co2 bottle in the ER needs checking/tagging. All FE's gages are in the green (but 14 years old). Now the insurance Co. wants me to fix all things on the surveyors hit list. I have conflicting stories from all...

I just got an e-mail from the insurance Co. stating they want me to fix items on the Surveyor punch list. The surveyor states, the outlet plug outside on the sundeck must be gfci protected. The outlet is located on the Icemaker cabinet just outside the salon entry door. Its looks to be...

I'm chillin on the Bayou Watchin LSU play Texas A&M, when all of a sudden I hear a great roaring sound. The Boat starts rocking voilently. I still cant figure whats going on (new sounds on the 43'). I run from the salon up to the bridge and see a 25-35 kt wind hitting me on the nose. My...

Here's a cool sunset/moon rise at Deep Point Marina, Southport, NC Hope its not pixelated. I'm trying to find a happy medium. Well, I guess its bad enough. I'll find another setting or another place to practice. Sorry if I wasnt supposed to do this on everything else.

First time picture poster here..Hope it works after a very long time resizing the photo. What a drag...... I think I got it attached. OK what is this round thang in my aft closet? Sat TV module, escape capsule, barrel full of monkey's? (not the damprid) pate

Just a small note to say hello to everyone. I purchased an 1985 43' MY that looks great. I went on a training run today with the Broker/capt. so he could check my skills out for the insurance co. The 43' handles great. Easy to drive in the marina too. At 1200 rpm's, the cats purr, and...
