Terrific, usually intermittent electrical items are the toughest to track down.
I've heard Scania's are good motors but there is very little support for them in the US. The CAT C18 is a proven durable long running engine with...
I've had good luck with the Cetol marine teak color, 2 coats of that and 2-3 coats of clear cetol over it. That can easily be done at the dock....
It appears that the rudders were pushed through the bottom of the boat by touching bottom. I've met TJ from wicked Tuna about 10 years ago. He...
I've never seen dual rudders either. Those Wanchese one off builders do a lot of strange things from time to time. My guess is the single rudder...
Here's a weird one. A 59 year old mummified body of a German Sailor was found in his still floating but half submerged sailing yacht. Last...
I usually let them drain really good and clean them with degreaser and then give the 5 gallon buckets away....as buckets people seem to love to...
You got your answers on the first page. Basically, don't filter City Water. Shocking the tank/lines once a year (I'd say 2-3 times a year in...
Yes, your pans will go flying if you get waked enough on a glass cooktop. Searay puts a nice s/s grab rail around 2 or 3 sides of their glass...

The slight chirping can be a carbon monoxide or fire alarm warning of low battery and totally un-related. I would check all of those. As for...
Why wouldn't you stay in Flying Fish marina? Much more depth, always have fuel and great service?
Could also be gear oil pressure.
I prefer a seacock on the end of the hose with a short piece of hose to go into the bucket as it's a heck of a lot quicker to close it off. also...
On all of the yachts I've run, well 97% of them, the galley sink drain went directly overboard and I too have never had a galley sink drain clog.
I've seen garbage disposals on yachts and they work good. Get a 1hp Waste Kang, it will grind up anything.
For smaller yachts, West Marine sells one with a hook and short piece of seemed like bungee cord wrapped in stitched tough canvas, that was maybe...
No, in the tropics it has to be sitting about 5 days to start growing anything. If you're using it every other day you can usually leave them in...
