Given that it's over 20 years old, your best bet is probably to replace the generator rather than dumping $5k plus into it. If it only needs a...
Why would you want to upgrade the electricity and how? There should be nothing wrong with the electricity. If you're going to change the bulbs,...
From what I've seen the chair manufacturers use s/s U-bolts in the appropriate size, then they take Nylon tubing and split it down the middle and...
The Exumas are exponentially more beautiful than the Abacos. Abacos have the exumas beat with land based things....stores/shopping,...
Yes, the water should back feed through the dripless seals hose barb.
Glad to hear it's working out for you. It might be wise to inspect the other engine and replace that part as well, before it breaks.
If you pull it off with nothing running, you should get water flowing out of the dripless connection at a good pace from the water under the hull....
Well, let me put it this way. IN a 50' yacht, doing a transatlantic could be the trip of your life, or the last trip of your life.
I have had issues on the tidewaters where the composite section swelled into the shaft and locked it to the shaft. Next time the boat was put in...
I wouldn't. The BWS are solid seals as are PSS. I have replaced several sets of Tidewaters because they locked onto the shaft and then tore the...
I've run a few late 90's early 2000's Fairlines. They run pretty good, handle pretty good, build quality seems ok, interior is a little tight...
Not an owner. But I've seen people put a nice table where the fighting chair used to be with chairs. Also see an aft sunshade that extends...
He might have the same style cap on the top of the tank that Cabo used on their aft tank for years. I forget who manufactured it, but it was...
One would think it would be easier to hoist it right onto shore there, then lift it onto a barge or scrap it there.
There are VERY few non sail powered yachts in the 50' range that could safely do a transatlantic, something along the lines of a Nordhavn, and...
Back in the day the fishiest boat I know of was Bone Shaker, an old Whiticar that had 6-71 NA's in it. It was slow, like 13 knots at cruise, but...
To choose the appropriate thread sealant, look for it's chemical resistance to fuel (diesel or gasoline) or oil running through the line. Backyard...
Are these caps at the very top of the tank? Teflon will not work as fuel will eat it eventually. There are several thread sealants made by...
I too agree with fiberglass tubes. That is a long run with exhaust hose and there's a lot of places in that length of run for rubber hose to sag...
You'll be perfectly fine with Awlcraft on the entire boat. There is nothing wrong with the Awlcraft system. Everyone has their preferences and...
