I have a different ryobi inflator, a bit slower than the heavy 120v

We have a few of these on the 110 I run. Very light, easy to store and easy to inflate although you really need a high speed 120v inflator. Down side is the price… I ve never seen them in a round shape though but the 24” tube diameter would work just fine...

I have three 34” for the 110 I run, they are monsters… very hard to handle. We have them permanently attached to our home dock which being a tee head requires heavy fenders. For my 53 I have 24”, that’s plenty and easy to handler. Beware of the Taylor Made fenders, I ve had issues with them...

Hate is politically incorrect, didn’t you get the memo? Snowflakes can melt when they encounter hate.

You call them on the phone or VHF? Is fog an issue in June? Do, I still have two months to practice my southern red neck accent?

What time of the year was that trip? Makes sense to keep it unrestored… a car is only original once! A little patina can actually add value to these cars. Fewer and fewer of these original owners are left and so are unrestored specimen. Mine had to be restored a couple of times since I bought...

Lithium batteries made by the chicoms. What could possibly go wrong? I ll stick to traditional batteries, its not like space and weight is a conc rn on out hatts

I converted my 53 MY to Raritan Atlantes’ a few years ago. The master head is at the back of the master about 10’ from the stern and the holding tank is under the floor at the bow. That’s about 35’. No issue. You should probably had a pump out fitting close to the tank which will easier than...

Interested in tips and advice for our upcoming trip to eastern Tennessee thru the Tombigbee and Tennessee River I have logged tens of thousands of miles along the east coast from Cape Cod to the Bahamas and a single run in the gulf to Tx Planning on leaving Miami early June, big change since I...

I m not a big fan of check valves but sometimes you have to choice. If you do resort to a check valve use a good bronze one The bilge has to be really small for the pump to cycle on and off just on the water left in the hose. Very rare on a Hatteras

the only way fenders can get caught hard is if someones get in and out of a slip with pilings and fenders deployed. A big no no. That’s why we have these run rails…. Other wise against a sea wall or a floating dock the fenders will just roll around.

I used them to get a heat exchanger for my norpro gen a few years ago. Fast and reasonable

When I click on a thread in the “New Post” page, it opens with the first post in the thread, not the first unread post like most forums do. That’s using IOS (current version)

Why would you want two compressors? They re pretty reliable so no need for a back up

Both banks cannot be connected to the windlass or that would basically parallel the banks. I don’t understand how you could burn out the motor. The only way that would happen would be if one the foot switches is corroded and turns it on. Happened to me once but I caught it in time. Now I...

What year is the boat? On later boats like Sky said the power comes from a box in the ER. On the earlier boats, power to the windlass comes from one of the battery banks with a battery switch.

Check with Rick at Galley Maid. He got me one a few years ago.

Very nice. Much more mobile friendly !

Forward hatch… finally! I have always hated the original forward hatch with the scoop…. It took me 20 years to finally do something about it :). I saved most of the hatch, cut a 24x24 hole getting rid of the scoop and installed smoked lexan. I cut the lower fiberglass skin an inch smaller so...

Am the only one who since yesterday can’t stay logged in and have to login every time I visit? I tried two different browsers (Safari and Edge), same issue. I have to log in every visit. That’s on my phone which I just updated to IOS 18.1 Haven’t tried from a computer but never had this...
