A big thanks to you, Rusty, for the fuel tank sending unit socket! I figure I’d keep it in my toolbox for the day I go to the electronic sending unit that Scott’s talked me into. Little did I know I would need it for the current fuel contamination problem we’re having. I’ve probably used it a...

We have a ton of water in our FWD fuel tank. We put 200 gallons from one nozzle into that tank and 400 gallons from a different nozzle into the aft tank at fill up. Suppling and returning to the FWD tank for 12 hours with no issues. In the morning noticed maybe an inch of water in the bottom of...

Anybody have a recommendation?

My starboard transmission has a leak where the shaft coupler bolts to the transmission flange. It’s making an absolute mess slinging oil everywhere but it doesn’t seem to be draining much fluid from the transmission, dip stick reading while warm and in neutral. What is being lubricated inside...

As I watch the post Fort Lauderdale boat show boat parade going up the New River I’m reminded of a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Is the number printed on the roof of the larger yachts it’s documentation number? I’m assuming it’s there in the event the boat needs to be identified from the...

Just changed out the impeller on my 8KW generator which was working properly the last time I used it. I’m using the right impeller, correct part number and it matches up with the old one, it sits properly on the shaft and I verified with the cap off that it rotates. I get some water splashing...

Cana Lighthouse has these waves in Baileys Harbor Wisconsin, square waves that is.

I’m looking for a boarding step across with 19” spacing for the pin mounts. Marquipt, YRM and UMT currently make them but was hoping to find a used one.

Anybody in or has been in this marina? We’re looking at leasing a slip November-February this year. I see they have 40-55’ slips for sale at 875K and 55-65’ for 900K. Must be a nice place, sheesh. Just looking for local intel.

While troubleshooting my panel with Less Anderson, the panel guru, I mentioned my AUX light was burned out. He said he makes up those lights which he did. I don’t need all of them so if anybody needs lights, PM. He charged me $35 a piece plus shipping. I’ll pass that on to anybody who needs them.

Moving our 60MY down to the panhandle in December-January. Looking for marina suggestions in the Pensacola area. Fort Walton might work but the closer to Pensacola the better.

Just an FYI for anybody interested. ICOM does not make a cover for these radios. I’ve already had one destroyed by the sun on my fly bridge (that was before we had a full cover made, but that’s beside the point) so I went in search of something to protect the new one. Turns out this cover works...

Any reliable source in Lauderdale for these old Onans?

Three days of 6+ hours of running and I’ve now verified my starboard engine Hobbs is running fast. I religiously copy down hours run after each calendar day’s run so I’m sure it’s fast. Anybody else have this problem or the solution?

While running the river today I decided to test my trim tabs to make sure they still go up and down. I always leave them in the full down position however when I did that, it tripped the bilge alarm and light on the systems monitor panel. I verified my bilge's are as dry as a bone, although not...

Cruising down the west shore of Lake Michigan headed to the river system. Boy these old girls are sloppy in a following sea. Thank God for stabilizers but I’m very envious of Sky’s new digit control right now!

Finally wired both of my transformers for boost. Thank you Sky!! Weird symptom, loss both of my ammeter read outs when shore power is selected to monitor. With the either generator running and selected to monitor, the meter works and reads 60hz. My boat had the 120V in option but we had to...

With many thanks to Sky and Scott my portable boost transformer is up for sale. I bought it from a forum member for $500. I have an additional hundred dollars in it so now it’s up for sale for $600. Currently in Wisconsin and headed south to Nashville shortly. If you happen to be in the Detroit...

Drop down ladder off our 1989 60’ MY. Not pictured but included are the teak treads which were made new 3 years ago. Make me an offer or it goes to the scrap pile.

I see a lot of damage on the west side of LSC and I heard Anchor Bay got hit. How’s everybody doing up there?
