Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil.

Not sure if the scratched anchor is included. At least she has Detroits. Actually not the worst looking boat I've seen. https://www.unitedyacht.com/used-yachts-for-sale/striker-convertible-1979-seafood-2792727

My daughter and SIL recently bought a '79 37C and are still learning the systems. Twice now the Galley Maid toilet has stopped flushing - no water in and nothing get pumped out. Both times it has happened were when they had the tank pumped out. They haven't found any sort of tank tender gauge...

Figured I'd check on the outside chance someone has a new, rebuilt, or good used gear hanging around before I have mine rebuilt.

I'm installing 2 new vhf radios on the boat. Do I need 2 MMSI numbers, or just 1?

I had a real eye opener yesterday. I was running slowly on radar in thick fog heading out to go fishing. I started to throttle up as I cleared the reef passage north of Fischer's Island and heard a growling noise so I slowed down thinking I had picked up a rope in on of me screws. I isolated...

My daughter and son in law are looking at a 79 37C. Any input on this model would be appreciated. 6-71 TIB engines. I'm presuming that this boat predates any hull coring concerns.

So, I just finished mounting all my reels back on the butts for the season. I have a pair of bent butts that I use for a pair of Tanacom electric reels for deep dropping. Well, after handling 14 straight butts with my Penns, I picked up the first bent butt with the reel mounted so I could...

Clearly you are not from New England. Chicken lobsters are small, just barely legal lobsters.

I finally got around to doing a service on the genny in my new boat. It's a NL with a Luggar engine. Basic maintenance, including oil change, fuel filters, air filter cleaning, impeller, and antifreeze change. It did smoke a bit more than my old genny and I found the air filter foam dirty and...

I recently bought a dinghy with a 9.9 Yamaha outboard ('06 I believe). I need to replace a transom clamp on it. Any suggestions for good, easy to buy parts online?

In Ireland, the 99-year-old Mother Superior lay quietly. She was dying. The Nuns had gathered around her bed, laying garlands around her and trying to make her last journey comfortable. They wanted to give her warm milk to drink but she declined. One of the nuns took the glass back to the...

Anyone know if Sams carries the Airmax breakers for my 12V subpanel up on the flybridge? If not, any other sources? I need a 40amp and a 50 amp.

Anyone need one of these before I toss it?

I've been poring over the electrical schematics but cannot find wire 313. I can find pretty much everything in the 300's except that one. That's my problem. I found 312 and 314, but 313 not so much. So today we traced the wires and removed the unit. And there was the answer clearly printed on...

Here's one more for the list. I've been in a temporary slip all winter as my regular one was on the side of the river that was dredged over the winter. On Sat, I had to move it to meet a fuel truck anyway, so after fueling I ran it solo across to my regular slip. As I stopped to spin the boat...

I'm installing a new Furuno system with a Micro backbone in my boat. I'm not experienced, but from research understand that I need a terminator at each end of the network. My question is this - I already have a couple 4 drop tees that I can put together. I need more than 4, but probably not...

This is mounted in my operating console on the flybridge. I don't know what it is. There is a red wire cut off and hanging from the bottom. I suspect that the unit is no longer required, and I could use the real estate for the install of my new Furuno system. Anybody familiar with this?

So, I dropped a turbo off with Derek a month or two ago as it was showing signs of an exhaust leak. He found that the turbine had had something significant blow through it previously, so we decided to replace it. Derek was able to source one for $3500 or so, but I found one online for about...
