??? Good luck with your repair Tommy. Sometimes it does work and lasts a long time. However, if the 30 year old plastic tank has held up fine,...
They're not exactly the classiest guests! :D
No and most in South Florida do not charge by the day if the boat yard is doing all of the work or providing the guys doing all of the work.
20 years is the lifespan of a plastic tank. Welding it won't hold, a month maybe, and it will start leaking again if you can even get it to hold...
Are you NUTS??? Do you want to do that job twice? Do not weld a 20 year old plastic tank, even if the weld holds it will just fail somewhere...
I like a lot of chain like that but also like 100 yards of rope behind it. If it gets really windy you can let out more and stay on the rope...
Skip, they just seem to like to run that way. They also like the weight aft. Now, I know you always run yours a little slower, but I've always...
Yeah, I prefer Lifeline over Odyssey, just seen the Lifeline last longer. They're both very HEAVY, that makes changing them a pain. But great...
It also depends A LOT on what you have behind the anchor. A lot of SF have like 6' of chain and the rest is rope. If you have all chain it adds...
Sales on new yachts were very slow from what I hear. However a used yacht broker told me there were a lot less people wandering the docks BUT,...
Generally AGM's use the same charger setting as lead acid on most chargers, the charging profile is very close, compared to GEL which operates at...
It depends on location, charger and all of the things Capt Holli asked. AGMs are a safe bet for wherever they're mounted in the boat and take the...
No, rudders shouldn't have an impact on it riding bow high, that's a combination of props (how much lift they have and number of blades), shaft...
Yes, from Johnson. Look at the impeller chart on the Johnson chart thing and it will show which pump the impellor goes to, order them for that...
Why don't you just dry the boat with a shurhold chamois mop?
I saw in a rare instance where the prop shaft threads were improperly cut and that caused the nuts to always back off. I forgot who had this...
Quite honestly I like how some of the SF builders do it, with smaller diameter splined shafts instead of keyways.
Usually 10' but it depends on owner. An owner holding a Captain's license goes a long way to make the jump a little further in between. It...
I agree with Pacblues comments. The props need to be lapped, and the nuts in the proper order.
That is just outright ridiculous.
