Careful. Those of us who spent 15 or 20 years in the 70's might get offended.

Is anyone else getting logged off regularly? I've had to sign in several times in the past few days. Always on my desktop. So far not on my phone.

C'mon Derek, don't be going all THT here

Say what? 4:30 am Thurs morning...

I'm installing an old Pipewelders dinghy davit on my boat. Its a bit clunky but appears suitable for the job. I've already sourced a good Warn 12v 1000# capacity hoist motor for it. My problem is that I'm having problems obtaining a replacement bearing for the unit. This piece sits in the...

The Harborside Inn in Old Harbor was pretty much totaled in a fire last night. Word is that the local volunteer fire department did an outstanding job of getting all the guests out safely and also containing the fire to just that building. I can't seem to be able to post pics from my phone or...

I installed a new Icomm last year and have determined that its not transmitting or receiving well. I changed the Pl-259 connector and it didn't seem to make much difference, so I'm planning to just bite the bullet and install a complete new antenna. I spend a lot of time offshore, so I want...

None of us here are particularly young. Have you considered Lasix?

Post it for all of us

Low profile. I'd prefer the Marquipt but open to suggestions (E.G. Atkins and Hoyle).

My son recently bought a 31' Stamas with twin 250 outboards. The anchor looks like its sufficient - not sure of weight, but its a substantial delta style. Rode is 1/2" stiff crap nylon with a splice in the middle. Probably 15' of very rusty 1/4" chain. I plan on replacing the entire rode...

I've been considering mounting a dinghy lift on my bow. I'd like to know what you are using and your likes an dislikes. I prefer a low profile unit. Thoughts on 12V vs 120? I'm starting with zero experience in this arena. I've been looking at the Atkins and Hoyle cranes. Nice website, but...

Apparently I have once again become a DD mechanic despite having replaced my DD powered 43 with a Cummins powered 45. My kids' boat has a pair of 6-71s that have the old style foam covers on the air intake instead of the Airseps that I am familiar with. I presume that these require regular...

I'm helping my kids find their missing rpm. 671TI engines only making 2000 under load. 2500 no load. I replaced one bad injector. They're all firing now. Intercooler cleaning next but I think the props may be wrong. It was difficult to read the stamps on them, but they looked different on...

My daughter and son in law recently bought an older convertible (38 I think) with 6-71s. We suspect that they are J&T 671TI engines but aren't sure. Only one engine plate is present, and its damaged, but we can read the S/N which is 6A0380585. It also shows a model # 10633303 or 10633309 for...

CruiseAire system. The SMX II controller may have failed. Couple days ago I went to turn off the heat and turn on the AC (typical New England May day). The system would not turn off or switch directly from heat to AC. The only button on the display that did anything at all was the Fan Down...

I just put up a post and the font was quite small.

I'm trying to help my son in law with a weird electricak gremlin. He cranked his port engine for 30 sec or so while holding the parallel switch trying to reprime it. Subsequently hit start again and had no power to the starter. Tried cranking the stand engine and had no power there either. I...

My sister sent me this pic this morning. These are the guys that inspired me to learn how to play the guitar.
