My vote is find the boat you like. Slip assignment is between management and the renter, and your marina has already told you how they view it.

Heat helps a lot, so I second that but maybe use an electric heat gun. Is that upper nut part of the pipe? If so, consider a hammer wrench since impact also helps. But back the lower part as you are describing...

To expand on what Jim said, you should buy the LED bulb from Dr LED who actually have theirs certified by the USCG unlike most random Chinese ones. There was a contentious manslaughter lawsuit a few years back centering upon the illumination of nav lights--hate to be caught out for such a...

Thanks for follow-up. On my list to do also...

SOLD. Feel free to email if yours is broken; I managed to locate schematics and repair my original one...

Almost. Actually the number of knots slipping through a sailors fingers from a 30 second timer (hourglass) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)

Story of my life recently. (My contribution to Rusty's awesome efforts...)

7-Eleven spelled that way literally because his wife told him to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven

I bought this bulletproof Hatteras OEM DC-DC converter [32V input and 12V output 10 amps] from Max Marine Electronics in 2019 to replace a water-damaged unit, which I later repaired before I could even install this one. It was sold "used and tested" by them (see label) which I paid $105 back...

From a different thread: Does anyone now in a Safe Harbor Marina have any input after the takeover? DRB

In the marina where I am right now, I observe lots of boats turning 90 degrees to come in since I'm not too far from the entrance which is perpendicular to the main channel. Recently, like two or three times, I have seen boats coming in and hear their bow thrusters. My question is: do people...

This is an image looking directly down the transom of a 1970 53' MY at what appears to be the port trim tab. Some sort of recent event seems to have dislodged the (non-working) trim tabs placing one askew. I can only think the entire piano hinge must have let go at the pivot point and it is...

Also, Rusty many thanks for all of the humor over the years. I know not everyone is onboard, but it has generated many a smile for me... DAN

Left him behind?

Hatteras was generous with outfitting our vessels with spare props and shafts. My 52C still has the backup shaft, but the spare propellers were not with the boat when I bought it. Recently I scored a new set (a story which I will share later). Could someone kindly tell me where to stash them...

All, For those who have converted to the small form factor GC8 eight volt golf cart batteries (NON-Trojan!) there are a few NOS Flow-Rite systems on eBay. Basically, if you have the most common 2.5" cell spacing (US Battery) but not Trojan (2.3") the kits have enough parts for your eight...

Robert Clarkson, for completeness, my leak was stripped threads (dark area on right side stud where nuts covered it) due to overenthusiastic mechanics in the past. My fix was so nice I officially declare it an "upgrade feature". DAN

Sadly, it seems many lives were lost early this morning on a charter dive boat; 34 missing at last count. I have visited this area several times, and our member RonNP was moored at a nearby harbor for years. The crew of 5 were up early 3:30AM preparing breakfast when a fire broke out (possibly...

Please revisit Rusty's thread and read my post #73 on page 8; your hull number is probably wrong. https://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?31780-Hull-numbers-wanted/page8 I understand the privacy concerns, but it would be useful to start a database of all the known hulls depending upon...
