FWIW, the charge profiles for Odyssey (13.5-13.8V) and Lifeline AGMs (13.3V are different enough that it suggests checking a battery...
The shower sump if often a culprit, but you may also just be faces with an accumulation of odors from several sources. You can do a test to...
A suggestion: learn to dock the boat WITHOUT thrusters first... then carry on to thrusters, then joystick. To the rest: it depends. For...
Thanks again, Heard this last year about Patrick; hadn't looked into that before, could be do-able for our conceptual trip. Been to Boca Chica,...
Useful to know; thanks. It's been quite a while (6-7 years?) since we went through there on a car trip to St. Augustine. The dockmaster at the...
I'd agree with all that: if flying, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah?, Jax, even further south... assuming the initial boat movement is do-able....
There's a blog out there from some folks who took a 42 Silverton Convertible from Boston (I think) to St. Thomas. Just about got their a$$e$...
Yeah, it was all over the map up here... but we were glad to be at least a bit further south. Would have been nice to be back near FLL but crew...
FWIW, Annapolis seemed generally colder than that, last winter. We wintered in Charleston, and temps were typically 10-20F higher than Annapolis....
We met folks last year at Tidewater in Portsmouth who had been there all winter. The few days we stayed there it seemed like a very nice place,...
Several owners in our group have said the Dometic Vector Turbo (or whatever it's current name is) is the greatest self-contained unit since sliced...
Peter Hartoft for hull. Can't speak to Volvos... -Chris
Got it, thanks. Just from reading, I thought all batteries in the series were supposed to age identically when wired that way. Thought it's...
Our two main battery banks are similarly configured... but we're 12V... What do you mean by "top" battery? Haven't heard that term before......
Nice! Good luck with the work! -Chris
I guess this is probably too late to be useful... but FWIW I'd guess that 42 Bertram weighs in the neighborhood of 10K lbs more than our 28K-lbs...
But the folks are friendly, and the fried chicken is pretty good. :) Docks are in good shape. The place is clean. Makes a decent staging point...
If no one else answers... You can do a little inspection yourself. First would be locating your vent opening on the hull, often near (or at...
Zen, have no way to judge whether a convertible could fit your requirements, but some random thoughts: The noise factor you experienced may have...
:) And remember there's a BS coming up in Annapolis in early October... so not a lot of un-spoken-for docking space available during that. :)...
