I’m also jealous of your galley sliders. Broadus Rose talked me out of those when I replaced my galley windows.

Oh for Pete’s sake Sky, please tell me you spent time cleaning up the area before you shot those pictures. I can’t believe your boat is that clean.

Looks beautiful! I got lazy and had starboard treads made. They’re functional but certainly not as beautiful as those. After refinishing my flag post masts I regret not taking the time to refinish my swim ladder treads.

Trust me when I say if your port lights aren’t leaking, don’t mess with them. As others have said it’s just a trim ring that can be removed, purchased from Sams and reinstalled. Take the time to caulk around the port light when you remove the trim ring and then re-caulk after installing the trim...

Our boat was built to the original owners requests for Med cruising, which included the holding tank being converted to an additional fuel tank, 240V outlets etc... The boat was never cruised in the US, it was immediately delivered to a ship and sent to the Med for five years. When it came back...

Selling my spare now for $165, contiguous US shipping included. I'll have another one for sale soon, same deal.

Scott to the rescue again. He diagnosed the problem. He said it was tinnitus. Thanks again, Scott for the help!

Sorry, I should’ve clarified. It’s the original AM/FM cassette radio. We don’t use it and I had planned to pull it out and put a Fusion radio in its place but I’d like to know why it’s ringing.

After being gone from the boat for a week, got back to the boat this evening, and there was a loud tone coming from the master stateroom radio. I was able to isolate the tone by using the breakers. It's only coming from that radio. It sounds like a warning horn at the radio itself whether it is...

+2 on the Walbro just replaced a leaker myself. I believe it was a standard 1/4 thread.

I guess one is being delivered today didn't work as an excuse.

I have a similar problem. My port engine-room blower runs for a while then shuts down but doesn’t trip the breaker. It resumes operation on its own, assumably after a cool down. I replaced the blower motor but the new one does the same thing.

So sorry for the grounding Those that have and those that will, right? I’m looking to switch to State Farm and I’m concerned about their claims process. Good to know you’re having a good experience from a claims standpoint.

Phasma2128, sorry to be nosey but may I ask what your claim was for?

I would reconsider using balls for locks, I’m sure Freebird will chime in here as I know he agrees. OWW locks are not a big drop like the TenTom but the balls do tend to bind up, hence my comment about how durable they are. Cylindrical fenders positioned on the rub rail are much better then the...

MegaFend or Fort Lauderdale sells the balls.

Most are filled with air. The ones Sky and I are talking about are more like tender/dinghy skin with a spring loaded air valve and significantly much lighter. They are surprisingly strong. Most super yachts use them

That’s why I ask. Years ago we had a hail storm roll through and damage everybody’s roofs. The people with State Farm by far had the most problems getting claims paid.

So I reached out to a different broker. Apparently the quoting tool used by the agents, won’t allow them to input anything over 999hp. However, the tool also tells the agent to call underwriting if the horsepower exceeds that for more information. This broker did some more digging and was able...

You’ll spend a lot more upfront, but I can guarantee you the the benefits far out away the cost of inflatable fenders. Even the frailest of people can handle them and deflated they take up so much less space. They’re incredibly easy to inflate, you could probably use a hairdryer on the cold...
