whatever....
I don’t remember the exact layout of the 76. On the 80 and 84 the stabs are under the master floor, about a foot aft of the head
no it s not simplistic. The actuators have to come off and the holes have to be glassed. These gyro gales compressed air stabs are not a good...
Your alternator should have recharged the battery, what is the voltage charger off but engine at high idle? the windlass shouldn’t cause a drop...
Yeah, we all know multiple pairs are used on large boats... not the subject of this thread.
An 8D should be fine, truck or marine. have you checked the water level? personally I can’t imagine why anyone would even think of raising...

All marine electrical devices are ignition proof. A marine charger or a bilge pump should not cause an electrical explosion. It s the second...
Whether the tank or a leaky hose caused the leak doesn’t matter. if every gas boat had a working gas fumes detector, and of people use a little...

Have you tried using the AP with the Garmin shutdown? Even at the dock, check if the AP heading goes back to normal with Garmin off
The pulpit is pretty small and the roller is very close to the hull so the efforts while anchored are minimal. No leverage. but considering the...
I agree 100%... but I believe that without the pulpit the deck wouldn’t have been ripped up I wonder if the catastrophic failure of that new...
Well the pulpit added leverage to pull the deck. It wouldn’t have pulled without the leverage
