I would absolutely do an oil sample before replacing the oil
We did about 15 years of weekly charters mostly in the Exumas along with a few in New england early on. Out of about 100 week long charters I...
It depends where you are are what kind of charters you have in mind. 48 is small for multi days overnight charters but can work for day charters...
9PM Demopolis Alabama…, hot as hell… smelly as hell outside… humid as, not hell, but the worst swamp in the world. Glancing at the electrical...
Did a “fly by” yesterday morning on the way to Tn. What an incredible sight, like a ghost. Obvious chance is the removal of all the glass and...
I use the built in anchor alarm in Aquamap. Works well. I used it maybe 100+ nights a year
It s about 1400nm. I planned the stops, as much as possible. We ll probably come up every 5/6 weeks for a week and yes keep running the 110 in...
As I have mentioned we ve decided to move our 53 Hatteras to eastern TN, on Watts Bar Lake part of the TN river system 9 days into the trip from...

Well the one good thing about VF is that that while they may have issues and run on or whatever they will usually pull enough vacuum to “get you...
It only affects the charging rate in bulk mode. I checked again today after we anchored and started the generator. Sure in enough amps shown on...
The 53YF looks a bit odd as it is chopped off to make space for the cockpit. Maybe I m just so used to the 53MY the 58 YF is a great boat but...
Thanks for the detailed post. Very useful. I did see there was a new version I don’t mind using my phone or iPad for various things like cameras...
I don’t think that s accurate at least on my inverter and remote, maybe the US version is different. right now we re on shore power at a...
VF were superior 10-15 years but motor technology has igreqtky improved and so have macerating heads
I wouldn’t go back to gas except maybe the newer large center console style boats. But as a cruiser to spend night on board? No. It s not just...
