Things are starting to come together nicely! Heading out to watch the Blue Angels Fly!

My brother had this done for me without me knowing about it. Love it!

Each year my brothers and I try to get together and do one offshore fishing trip. One of them lives in Houston, the other in Michigan. I'm in Georgia. Over the years the boats have gotten bigger, the distances further, and we have added crew members, mainly in the way of kids. So this trip...

One of the guys put together a short video of the trip. Enjoy!

Ok, so after the first couple trips in the boat we have a laundry list of 'to-dos'. A couple of these issues involve 12v products running on a 32v system. First of all is the windlass. The PO installed a 12v lewmar windlass and installed two batteries in the fwd bilge and a charger in the bow...

My god what an absolute TANK this boat is!!! With our weather window closing quickly and rough seas predicted we pulled away from the dock early friday morning. Made a little bait in the inlet then turned south for a 30 mile ride to a water break near the nipple. Seas were 2-4' and...

Well, the first trip is in the books! All in all a great trip although the weather and the fish did not quite cooperate! The 'guys only' trip was myself, a good friend and 5 middle school aged kids for spring break. Got to the boat on Wednesday and back to the dock Saturday Afternoon. Had...

Had these made back in winter, but just now finally ready to install. Replaced all hardware and installed some fresh hardware when installing. Think they turned out pretty good. Also replaced the rest of the bridge cushions but didn't really get any good daytime pics of them. Ignore the open...

posted this on boatdiesel too. Ok, so we lost a tach cable this weekend, when I was down removing the cable for replacement I kinda see why it let go, it is slighly bound right at the connection point on the trans pump. If I can rotate it approx 90deg it will be a MUCH...

Long story short, one of the items MIA on our boat when we purchased it was the cockpit door. The boat is a 1986 52c. Anyone happen to know if by chance this part may be available somewhere (maybe from a junk/sunken 52c)? Or, if you have a 52c any chance you could post a few pics of what...

Hello all, i've tried to register over at marineac.com to ask these questions on the forums there but can't seem to get registered for it, so I'm going to post them here. Basically I'm trying to go through our AC/Heat systems and repair/fix/learn about them. My goal is to become...

wow, that hits home!!!

Ok, weird question I know.... Wired up 6 underwater lights this weekend, went to run the supply line to an empty 32v breaker in the cabin electrical panel and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the wire into the panel? Is there anything special you can do to access the back of...

DIY: Rocket Launcher for fighting chair Been piddling with this project for a couple months now. Finally got some non-rainy weather to make some progress. The idea is to take an old fighting chair I had in storage with a ladder back, and convert the back into a rocket launcher with rigging...

Hello all, I'm wanting to replace all the copper steering lines below the cockpit. They are showing their age and I just don't trust them 100%. I meant to get the sizes when I was down last weekend but I just forgot. Anyone happen to know what diameter the copper lines are? My brain tells me...

Been assembling the parts for this install for what seems like forever. Finally most of the pieces on hand I began the install. These are racor ccv 4500's. One for each turbo. I already have walker airseps so my routing is going to be valve cover -> Racor -> walker airsep. During this...

Think this is my fav so far!! We not getting any younger and we can't take it with us!! Might as well enjoy it now!!

I'm so ready to be on the boat I can taste the salt!!! Got a couple more work trips planned to get things up to snuff for the spring and then it will be time for some much needed R&R and putting a few fish on the deck!

Occasionally the wooden spoon met the top of my head too.... new level of attention getting there!!

Hey guys, figured I'd post this as it may interest others. My goal was to get all engine data into a digital format for viewing anywhere in the boat (tv, ipad, iphone, kindle...etc). I've been wanting to do this for a while now and finally getting around to putting things together! First up...
