That strap is a great idea for a ridiculous placement. I have heard that sound when an owner grabbed the gears instead of the throttles, throwing...
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're referring to I've never seen such a valve. In this case it it was a 45' crew boat with about 1 1/2' of...
Having run thousands of boats there's no end to the list of things I've found in bilges, especially nuts.
When I taught my ideal situation was on our south shore barrier islands during the week when there'd be plenty of empty slips. I'd drill my...
In boating there's nothing wrong with wearing suspenders and a belt. This looks really good as a backup to a paper log and to make sure scheduled...
That's a great backup that can be accessed from any computer, but there's nothing like a book at your helm that can be immediately thumbed...
Actually all you need get in is a few inches of one corner. Big mistake too many make is when they get that one corner in, their bow blows...
I've seen a few, but didn't find them useful for smaller boats. I think you'll find a sectioned spiral notebook (especially with pockets for...
On that boat 11' would be big, not only for fit but how it might affect handling. The davit being removed would concern me and leave me checking...
I hate when people refer to "bumpers". They're "fenders", meant to fend off not to bump like a "bumper" on a car. I've seen these wheels get...
What are you going to do with the extra 1 1/2'.:rolleyes: Seriously all you need do is get one corner in and you're home. They sell wheels that...
Fendering can be installed on the dock and would only intrude 2" on each side. So depending on how good a boat handler you are you can get by...
Very cool. Would sure rather watch them than the "Masked Dancer". Maybe they could be cheerleaders on Battlebots.:D
If I read the posts correctly the heads have not been removed and the bolts are one-time-use. If they weren't damaged I understand not replacing...
Learned something new. 1950's? I've run them built in the 60's and up, and yes they're run hard and keep coming back for more. The big problems...
Some? A lot, along with a lot of workboats and even CG vessels. I'm not aware of issues with salt water.
Had an employee who wanted a raise. My supervisor told me to give him a title instead. Cheaper, and he then gets to charge customers more for...
Going bow to the current the eddy coming off the dock could push the bow out where the current would have caught it, followed by a grinding bow...
