That looks like built in obsolescence. An awful lot of stress for 2 little screws attacked to fiberglass to handle. I'd love to see a backing...
First you have to learn to ride the bike. If you only ride the handlebars.....
We now have a couple of generations of boaters who've never plotted a course on paper or tried to navigate by that means. How far are we from...
What % is OK to drink? What % will damage polybutylene tubing? What % will clean your water system? What % will kill algae or mold and what %...
I see a lot of people saying 'I can dock using gears, but thrusters are so convenient'. The problem is an old saying, "Use it or lose it". GPS...
Pics would be really helpful.
A full and accomplished life.

Better check into what it'll take and cost to reflag a Mexican boat in the U.S.
Why do I get the feeling that you'll spend on the top half of what a whole new cooktop will cost and then the wires will short out? Maybe after...

Remember this water system was installed in 1980. This is from an article in SAIL: "The polyvinyl (PVC) plumbing I pulled out of the boat’s...
I can't say, but I've seen it on crew boats and houseboats from that era. Regardless though, how many times since 1980 do you think people got...
Might want to ask what kind of water lines the OP has. From 1980 there's a good chance it's PVC or semi-rigid polybutylene tubing.
The boat is 40 years old. I might think about changing out waterlines. Cheap and easy enough job, although in Florida he probably drinks bottled...
Have you tried Sam'smarine?
Trying to remember that boat but drawing a blank. Some boats from that era ran all water through the tank in which case the water pump would need...
Run away fast.
Since the article referred to the Parker lawsuit, and judgement was rendered, maybe you'll find the judgement illuminating:...
