I spotted the Floridan at the Labelle docks on the Caloosahatchee River Wednesday night. On her way to the east coast for several months of boat yard activity. I spoke to a not terribly well informed passenger who was the only person aboard at the time. Apparently she sold for $70 something. New...

Some where along the way I lost the ability to have the text wrap to the next line and I can't figure it out. I'm sure the answer is simple, but not for me! Help please.

My newest davit design, folding boom with sliding extensions. Additional photos follow in separate posts. The dinghy is a Highfield 340, aluminum hull and a mind boggling 7 foot beam!

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to upload photos. Something is wrong with the site or with me. Need to contact the webmaster.

Trying to remove the original Cruise Air compressors. Each is held in place by 4 devil bolts. Originally thinking they were hanger bolts, machine thread on one end and lag screw thread on the other. The machine screw end it is double nutted. I was able to get them loose to the point that they...

If this was just another davit, I wouldn't post, and I do apologize to those of you who don't need to see another davit. This one is installed on a late 46' Carver aft cabin and is unique in that there were a number of design parameters. The pickup points had to be narrow enough for a 10'...

My latest davit getting installed on a Marine Trader 50 located in Key West. Owner has a 13' Novurania. Just saying:).

A few photos from my "beta" model. Although originally conceived for aft cabin boats, this was on a Mainship 40 sedan. A few challenges primarily due to a lack of material (strength) in the transom. The good news is that it worked beautifully, the customer is very happy, and best of all I got an...

I prototyped a couple of wrenches recently. These are for a 3.5" nut which is typical for a 1.75" shaft. Other sizes can be made. I'm thinking $25 each

I know that this is an ongoing issue for 43 DC owners, and because I couldn't find anything that I thought was appropriate, I decided to design and build my own. I used it this past winter, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out. It also has wired and wireless control.I thought that...

Has anyone replace the A/C units on a 43 DC, in particular, the salon unit? I'm finding it difficult to find a self contained unit that will fit in the current salon location, which is below the deckhouse bench seat. Has anyone been in there and removed some or all of the paneling? I am...

During the recent cold snap here in FL (and everywhere else) I managed to destroy one of the shore power 30A shotgun type fuse holders on my 43DC. I suspect it was loose wires the created enough resistance under heavy load to melt it. While Sam's has a replacement unit for $180, I felt that a...

I'm looking for an AP20 or 22 control head. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to embark on my first winter cruise around south FL (the mini loop) next week and I plan to do a lot of mooring. Anyone care to chime in with mooring technique for single handing a 43DC? I have the feeling I'm going to need all the advice I can get.

Anybody out there in HOFworld have a working AP11 or 22 that they would like to part with?

Anyone have any takeout Benmar AP parts? Attempting to refurbish mine and suspect I will need to replace pump, motor and compass binnacle.

Can anybody tell me what's going on here. A 500mf capacitor has been attached to the output side of the alternator[ATTACH=CONFIG]One of the peculiar performance aspects is that it typically takes 3minutes or more before the alternators begin charging.

I just aquired an MDJE for the back end and will be parting out the rest as well as my exisiting back end. Among the parts available is a raw water pump and a good voltage regulator board.

Does anyone have a 43 DCMY on the hard at this time. If so and if possible I would like to know the prop clearance distance to the bottom of the hull. I would also want to know the diamter of the installed prop. Measurement should be parallel to the face of the prop (perpendicular to the shaft)...
