This sign is in Sister Bay Wisconsin, my favorite marina in Door County.

Both of mine work but they are so rusted and the white paint showers down on me each time I get close to them. I had to remove them to clean the engine room intake air filters so now I just want to replace them. They appear to be similar to these Navy certified fans: TPI N-12 12" 2-Speed Low...

Just staring to think about an inverter install. I’d like to power at least 1 fridge, microwave, Starlink, a few outlets for charging and 1 tv. Most importantly the Kuerig. 3000 watts to much? Separate battery bank? Separate Breaker panel or only selected breakers on, on current panel? I have...

I’m not sure when my 20KW generator started producing high hertz but it is, around 65hz. I’ve always looked at the voltage before switching over power sources, but never paid much attention to the hertz. My clocks were running fast at times and for whatever reason I looked at the Hertz the other...

The Hobbs meter for my 8KW MDKD Onan generator stopped working. Not sure how to test the clock but I did put a voltmeter on the contacts at the back of the Hobbs meter. It’s reading 14V. This generator uses a 12V battery for starting. Should I assume that since there are volts and also assuming...

I love how my DD's respond to the block heaters. My 8KW has glow plugs and starts right up. My 20KW doesn't them and takes a little cranking to start in the cold water temps we live in. Has anybody installed either block heaters or pan heaters on their gensets?

Advice on dockage and indoor heated storage for our 60’MY. I’m more interested in docking close to the Clinton river as opposed to the nautical mile. Heated storage anywhere on the lake. Preferably the US side would work. Thank you in advance.

I took some pictures of you headed up the north channel today. PM me if you would like pictures.

53’ Named Adventuress Took some pictures of you today headed up the North Channel. PM me if you want them. By the way, she’s a beautiful boat.

Sailorman has what looks to be a Marquipt Tender Lift Classic 110V for sale. Can't remember the price but around $3000, needs paint but looks serviceable. FYI

Now that I have the proper tow bridle for our tender I’m wondering what’s the best procedure for docking when towing the tender. We dock side to on the port side. Also, when coming in from Green Bay we have to go under two bridges (Michigan and the Oregon for you Google people) but they are 30...

It’s time to replenish my supply of Racor fuel filters. Anybody have a source for the best price on these?

I just purchased an unfinished SAPELE wood table to go on my flybridge settee. What would be the best finish to put on it?

We had to replace the glass on one, so we replaced both of our pilothouse door windows. There's plastic trim that pushes into the channel between the glass and the door to lock the glass into place. That plastic was original so it came out in pieces. The company that made our doors was called...

We have a 14' Gala RIB that I'd like the option of towing for short stints. I would prefer to purchase the complete rig ready to go. Any suggestions down here in FLL of where to buy?

We purchased the platform in July 2022 and used it for two weeks. We then moved from a narrow floating finger dock to a wall so we no longer need it. The catch is it's in Wisconsin so I need a little flexibility to get it to the purchaser. Paid $1900, I'd like to get $1700 and for that I'll...

Had a strange thing pop up today. Put the boat away for the winter. I turn off all of the battery switches, the main breaker at all three DC panels and all but light and receptacle breakers for the AC panel. The last thing I do is turn off both main AC breakers (on the hard I only use 1 shore...

While doing a routine engine room check I noticed water dripping from the bottom of our air compressor storage tank. Obviously the tank is rusting through. I’m in northern Michigan so replacing the tank is not an option. Suggestions? Can I just disconnect the lines from the tank and allow the...

I’m finally getting around to redoing the sound system in our boat. One stereo system runs the galley, VIP stateroom and the crew’s stateroom speakers. Two speakers per location. There’s another stereo that runs just the master stateroom speakers. The midstate, galley, and forward crew’s room...

Looks like there is a good chance both my kids will be living in Nashville. If so, we plan to move our 60MY to spend our summers there. Any residents that could shed some light on where to slip and any other details about keeping a Hat there permanently? Winter storage is of concern to me...
