If you go into your local West Marine, they can get them in usually the next day if you pay for them. They carry them on their website. Use the...
Well then you're stuck buying their parts for $4k. I'd go manual and not even think once about it. Once you get a watermaker going, it just...
Plexus works ok and is the easiest. If you want it to last longer, clean them with aquatech or imar strataglass cleaner, then wax them with...
I agree with Kiwi, go manual with it. You can always get it going and a computer issue will not leave you anchored without a shower. Usually...
My sentiments are pretty much the same as Kiwi's and Nycaps. If you have 2 children and a wife, stick with trucking. I grew up on boats and...
Your telephone rates are much cheaper than US cell phone roaming fees. Internet rates appear to be reasonable as well considering. Also, I think...
Such is true. There are pro's and con's to everything. With the old Bertram you'd have brand new machinery and have it pretty much your way and...

I agree it was most likely a computer issue. The location they mounted it in wasn't good either, under the helm, but there isn't anywhere else...
I think people in Maine in general are more honest and straight shooters, than AL. I haven't had any issues at any of the yards in FL with shoddy...
It's not a statement, it's a question. What condition is it in and how long has the boat been sitting with a blown engine? The OP is PURCHASING...
I found the opposite with Maretron. They were helpful, but the system they installed had a PC mounted underneath the FB helm on a 54' Bertram...
They have tenders in Rybovich that are larger than that!!!!!
I just posted because someone else did and it was in the new thread.......Wonder if he ever did get his own 70 footer.....hahaha
Don't do it. The new engines, the gauges are done through the factory computer and are powered by it and DC voltage. Any kind of add on system...
Just borrow a wheelchair or a hovaround and they'll let you through the front of the line!!!! hehehe
