As long as the bowl is holding water, this is what you need to do. Use a heat gun to heat up the sanitation hose to get them off and on. The...
The Rule shower sump boxes work well and have easy to find replaceable pump and float switch in them. They're a fairly easy install.
It's too soft IMO also sealant like 5200 doesn't like to stick to it.
I don't discount for the smaller boats. You get a heck of a lot more beat up (physically) running a 40-60' for a day at cruise than you do...
Those rates are way off, $75k a year for Captain and $35k a year for a mate to start. A good Captain starts at $350 per day or more. Mate 1/2 of...
Yeah, it seems like on a SF that there is always some part of the gunnel between the riggers and cockpit that is the right height to get on and off.
They're also just really comfortable boats. Very well insulated from noise, but air and water noise. I have slept on everything from a 176'...
I caught a 150lb Blue Marlin off of Provo on the 45' Sb St. Croix delivery. The owner then for the next 5 years used it to fish Marlin...
Your cruising area is a toss up. Central America/Carribbean. Pods could be trouble and you might be flying a tech in somewhere along the line....
I think you really need to figure out your cruising and usage. Are you leaning more towards sportfishing/diving and rougher seas. Or are you...
The Searay is a better choice than all of those. It is also much simpler and easier to maintain with less systems to break. The Azimut has no...
The Kenyons work good and heat up really fast. The glass is very fragile on them, but you can buy just the glass for them. I had an owner break...
Good point, but by far the worst advice for not having long term problems. Any vehicle sitting outside without being driven for 5 months at a...
Brian, Very interesting designs. Those Lagoons (43'/44') rode pretty good until you see 8'. (I've also run a 38' Lagoon and 42' Lagoon...
I prefer a raw water pressure sender just aft of the raw water pump, over the paddle type sensors for reasons already mentioned. The pressure...
What I am saying is. CDL is a commercial driver's license and they have different levels of licensing, from as low as only being able to drive a...
The easiest thing to do would be to put a pressure switch on the output side of the raw water pump, where if the pressure drops below say 3 psi,...
His first post was that he worried that one engine was running a lot hotter at idle, tied up to the dock, than the other one. But neither engine...
The CDL license he has is equivalent to a 1600 ton masters Captain's license for ships. The person I had in mind is retired 66 years old, owns...
