Ches, thanks for taking an interest in this. To address your questions... "Does that mean you tested the "C" wire and found 12 volts or does...
Ches, thanks. I don't have any meter anywhere. The shunt terminal was connected with a 2 conductor cable and the ground was connected to a...
Thanks. Yes, I've read this already and it's still not clear to me what this shut terminal does. If anyone here can clarify it's purpose I would...
I have a lewmar Concept 2. This is the breaker I removed. Reason being it's giant and takes up a lot of space on my bulkhead. I am doing a...
I have had the Lumitec SeaBlaze X's for 2 seasons on my Ocean. They work well and have held up. I think Lumitec had problems with the Seablaze...
I bought a couple direct from Ocean before they sold out to Egg Harbor Group. Maybe Egg Harbor group got whatever inventory they had. I would...
I live near Newport. The VOR event in 2015 was amazing and the turn-out of people was very impressive. It gave me hope for the commercial appeal...
That broken shear would seem to be a bit out of style these days although that rendering looks nice.
I'm no expert but agree with Trinimax. I put a 55lb (25kg) Rocna on my 43' Ocean. That was mid/heavy for a powerboat of my displacement based on...
Nice table. I made one for my boat out of wood. Interesting on the safety strap, that must be the Yanmar set-up since the Volvos are single...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's a couple pic's of the DC distribution panel I built this winter to clean up the mess in the battery compartment. I...
Interesting in the pictures looks like they didn't move the berth drawers or even replace the plywood base (no wonder given how hard it is). They...
Tashmoo thanks for the kind words. You hit the nail on the head. Good boat but some real head scratches in the design/build. Why anyone would...
Interesting. My wife and I are not all that big so no need for us to widen the berth. I too am curious of how they did that. Wondering if they...
$8-10k would be for an entry level model about 800lbs capacity with manual boom. A 1500lbs steelhead is an excellent davit but way to heavy for a...
Great looking 43'. Yours looks much cleaner and newer than mine. I'm heading in to my 3rd season with mine. It is a 2000 that I bought out of...
Great, I'm looking forward to mine as well.
Sorry I didn't reply sooner. But CaptJ has it. Same guy who is redoing my flybridge enclosure is doing mine. I've seen a lot of them on the...
Great first hand account. It helps confirm what I've kind of guessed at which is that in the mid-late 90's Ocean started to improve their hulls...
The best cruise I ever did was with my family from RI, up the Champlain all the way to Canada and back on our old Tiara a few years back. The...
