It's not as difficult as it looks if you simply look at the markers. They're close enough together that there's no guessing. Unless you're a new...
No, but a physical class with an instructor is the first step in making people aware of the laws, safety and issues. I cannot tell you how many...
I've seen the new Garmins I have been dealing with still have the good Garmin charts. I did have a recent Navionics chip in a Simrad and it was...
I agree and disagree. Many of these serious problems are reckless behavior, BUT that is because a lot of boaters aren't educated in the danger of...
The advent of detailed chartplotters, auto guidance on routes in said chartplotters, and joystick docking have really further exasperated this...
I agree with everyone here. With Pascal that there are a lot of even Licensed Captains that don't know the basics or are idiots. I also agree...
Nothing is required as far as having an opening there. Usually they have a lip and a drain to keep water out and only let air in. Some have...
Cabo's are some of the best built boats, bar none. The 45' is a great running boat and one of my favorites. No issues with the MAN 800's as well...

What is the price of the extended warranty and is it transferable to the next owner in the event that you sell the boat?

How are you hauling the boat? I managed a 63' Ocean SF that was a 1987, owner owned it since 1988, the first couple of times the owner hauled it...
Well, you need to get it fixed ASAP and then see if the boat planes and then get the manufacturer to remedy the issue. It would be a HUGE issue...
Well, it's ALWAYS nice to go back in the water after sitting on the hard for so long. I too look forward to seeing sea trial results. Very odd to...
Yes, some boats need full tabs to get on plane, then back tabs off once it's on plane. That being said, if boat was purchased new, it needs to...
The warranty claims and amount of FICHTS blowing up under warranty put OMC into Bankruptcy. Remember, every OMC brand had an OMC outboard on it...
Evinrude and (BRP) destroyed themselves by committing themselves to a poor and cursed design (Ficht) and sticking all bets into it, rather than...
It sounds to me that the joint is too tight. I'd slice the joint a little wider and then fill it with a material that expands and contracts and...
