It's a stupid design because the gangway on the several I've seen have like the opecmare paserelle design where the safety "railing" consists of a...
It's possible, 5000 watts is 20.8 amps at 240 volts. But the problem is depending on what kind of a/c pump you have. The oberdorfer style have...
Because if you look carefully, the hause pipes are on either side of the door on the deck below the top deck and there are no cleats on the deck...
That new big Feadship that was at FLBS with the Axe bow has the same setup.....Form over function seems to be the norm these days.
GUYS, it's to throw and retrieve the bow lines, if you look at both sides, there is NO other way to tie the vessel up.
So you can catch and throw lines as there is no other way to do so. Very stupid design, to have a mate standing on a weenie gangway as you're...
Yeah, you should be fine unless in the remote chance one of the checkvalves went bad (rare) or you took one down to change it. I'd prefer to T...
I spray all metal fittings on engines and engine room with Corrossion Block (the name brand) monthly down here in South Florida. It works very...

Yes, I agree a spare a/c pump is good to have. The dinghy stuff too, if you have a dinghy. Ohhhh, and make sure to have a spare macerator pump!!!
Dockwise and Sevenstar will get you VERY close. Ft. Laud or Palm Beach pick up/drop off and Victoria, Canada. Also Ravens shipping does that...
I own a Yacht Management business and prefer an SUV over a truck. Climbing in and out of the bed of a truck is a pain in the rear. Not to...
If you're spending 2-3 months in the Bahamas this is what I'd recommend. Engines 2 sets of secondary fuel filters 4 sets of Racors or primary...
How far and how long are you going to be in the Bahamas for on each trip? How well maintained is everything now?
Yeah, generally there's no water up there, and a usable inlet is far.....
Over the years, I'd say that 2 out of 10 charter yachts or even large yachts operate this way. I have known 1 Captain for a long time. The stuff...
I was the person OB was referring to. I went into the store in March and bought a few parts. Then went in in April and ordered 14 aft deck...
