I still have these 2 Raymarine 10" spotlights if any Sam's members would like to buy them, I'd be glad to ship them. Otherwise, I will probably put them on FB Marketplace and eBay in the next week or two.

If there is already a thread on this subject, I ask the moderators to remove this one and point me to the other one.... Anyway, having now successfully made it through Irma (2017), Ian (2022), Helene (2024) and numerous other Tropical/other storms - I thought it would be a good idea for those...

I had some guys working on the boat for the last few days. They were scraping paint from the underside of the covered walkways around the salon. Then they power washed the "ceiling" where they had scraped the paint. I thought of it too late, but should have had them cover the walkway drains...

I'd like to order a replacement and spare of these water inlet fittings, but not sure what they are called or where to find them. They are "expanding" rubber seal type fittings with a threaded PVC pipe. They are on the back of my GalleyMaid heads You push the assembly into the head, then...

A neighbor of mine here in Punta Gorda, FL has a 65LRC and mine is a 58LRC. We left for the Bahamas last week and were running from the Berry Islands to Nassau. We were running alongside one another when a 48LRC passed between us going north. Seemed to be a one in a million chance of that...

Our Master SR head went from working perfectly to not discharging virtually overnight. I thought perhaps the stator or rotor in the 32v pump failed, but when I pulled the vent plug and filled it with water, the pump sucked it right out quickly. So I figured that means the hose from the head to...

I thought I had a pretty much complete set of drawings for my LRC, but just discovered that I am missing CED38, referenced by another 32V Drawing. I believe CED38 is a drawing of the DC panel/fuse box in the engine room. From what I can tell the "Parallel solenoid" should be in this panel...

Hi guys, Today I decided that my pilothouse floors aren't looking too good and started to sand them down in preparation for re-coating with Polyurethane. I noticed that there are a few areas where the black sealant between the planks is missing. Is this black silicone, sikaflex or something...

Yesterday, we were out on the hook for the 1st time in a few months (a number of repairs and upgrades being done) and had an issue with my Victron Multiplus not charging properly. About 3 weeks ago, I had updated the Firmware on the Cerbo, Multiplus and BVM. Didn't notice any problems as the...

Today, I had an interesting problem when I went to start the engines (DD 471's). When I push the start buttons, I got a loud click click click from the solenoids on the starters, but neither engine would crank. I noticed the Sentry charger sounding a bit strange. It would come on (hum) for 1...

My Detroits (471's) have Allison transmissions. The Allison transmissions have, ever since I've owned the boat, consumed oil. I'd say they require my adding about 3-4 ounces every 18 hours or so of running time. No a big deal, but I should would like to know where it's going... The oil is...

Were are the Bud Light jokes?????

I am considering taking our 58LRC down to Guatemala to have refit work done on her. Why? I'm tired of paying for sub-par quality of work here in Florida at $120-150/hr. I'm on the West Coast and haven't had a good experience yet with any of the yards over here. This is a list of potential...

Looks like someone screwed up. At least she's not taking on water. Is this a Hat? https://www.yahoo.com/news/boat-hits-alcatraz-rocks-stranding-144156638.html

Has anyone successfully dis-assembled their Floscan senders to diagnose and/or repair them? Are they gear drive or optical? My starboard engine is reading only 2.4v on both fwd and return senders and I think the mechanism inside may be "gummed up" or sticking. Other engine, the senders show...

I have 2 large boxes in the engine room (see below) which I believe to be isolation transformers as well as possibly voltage boosters/frequency converters. Of all the documentation I have on board, I don't have any information on these. I've attached a photo of the top unit and hope maybe...

Does anyone know how the boats in Ft Myers mooring field have faired or have access to drone footage of that area? We sold our sailboat a few weeks ago and the owner was forced to take shelter there before the storm. He suspects all boats in the mooring area are gone, but I don't think so...

Well, here is the solution I built yesterday....
