I have a 1986 21 Mako with a 2003 200 HP Mercury Saltwater 2- Stroke engine. The power tilt/trim magically just stopped working last weekend. While I can and do wrench on my DD's and other systems, I'm not much of an outboard wrench. Plus I'm getting married in two weeks and just don't have...

I want to have a proper place to primarily store my large long fenders. On floating docks, I have the 36" round fenders that I deploy hanging from the rail. My home slip is a floating dock so these are the ones that are deployed most often. I also have four 12" diameter x 36" long fenders that...

Looking for a recommendation for a marina in Sarasota, FL for a casual 1-2 night weekend stay. Looking at Marina Jack, but they have only about 15 transient slips with no face dock for easy in/out. Not always easy to find a transient "slip" that can accommodate an 18' beam. Thoughts/suggestions?

Saw this boat at my marina, Riviera Dunes, Palmetto, FL last week. Anyone we know?

Looks like I will need to replace my main rear engine seal sooner or later. See other thread. Anyone know of a good DD 2-stroke mechanic in St. Pete/Sarasota/Bradenton, FL area? THanks!

Miss Maggie is a 1976 58 LRC. She has Allison Model MH30 3:1 transmissions with oil coolers. While checking the oil level for a recent trip I noticed the oil was dark in color on my starboard side. It does not smell unusual or "burnt". It does not have a gritty feel to it. Oil drive pressure...

Have only been in Florida waters for less than a year and am tired of cleaning my A/C strainer every couple weeks... or more. Came across this product and was wondering if the claims meet the expectations in real life. It's pretty pricey at about $6850 for the just cost of the equipment for my...

I need to have a car picked up and transported from Chesapeake, VA to the Tampa/St. Pete area. I definitely want to put it on a car carrier and not hire someone to drive it. Anyone know anyone they trust with a car with lots of memories? Thanks!

My steering has become very sluggish. I had bled the system and topped off the hydraulic fluid a few weeks ago. The steering was better but far from optimum. I have noticed a small leak at the lower helm and thought that might be the problem. However, it appears I have more than one issue...

Believe it or not... never had a zipper get stuck that I couldn't get unstuck.... I'm one notch away from breaking somehting..... Suggestions??... it won't budge....

Well... miracles do happen. Just got the word yesterday that my 20 kW Northern Lights generator finally made its way to the local distributor in Charleston, SC. Ordered in September... so only took 9 months. Now I have to start planning the install. My salon has carpeting and I can't see the...

The water level between Norfolk and Albemarle sound is down over four feet due to the low pressure system off the eastern seaboard. This will make travel a little sketchy between these locations... These photos were taken at Mile Marker 12 at Great Bridge, VA.

I have a 1976 58LRC and have the pilot house doors off for painting and refurbishing. The rollers don't work as well as they used to... want to replace them "while I'm there"... called Sam's Marine and they don't know the manufacturer or have these in stock. Anyone have any ideas??..

This yacht pulled into Atlantic Yacht Basin this weekend. As luck would have it she is in the same shed I'm in.. not a Hatteras.. but what a gorgeous vessel... I met the gentleman that did the complete restoration.... super interesting...I've been promised a tour at some point.... :o enjoy...

So I've been searching around the St. Pete area for an annual slip for Miss Maggie. BTW... not so easy to find a slip these days for a 62' LOA with 18' beam. One marina that may be able to accommodate me has a litany of "rules" that I'm just not accustomed to coming from boating in New...

I'm the new owner of some nice seats for my flybridge. The seat structure needs some basic refurbishment.... sanding and paint. Also need someone to make some custom cushions and seat covers. I'm new to the St. Pete, FL area and was wondering if I could get a referral for someone that can do...

So I haven't done any troubleshooting on this issue at all. When I recommissioned the master head from winterizing, the water does not pump into bowl when the foot pedal is pressed. Is there a small solenoid valve or other actuating device that allows the water to enter the bowl when the foot...

Due to my generator being delivered 4 months late.... looks like I will be heading south from Chesapeake, VA to St. Pete Florida late April-Early May. I'd rather not shotgun the trip with 10 hours running days on end. Originally planned to just take my time over several weeks, but now I have...
