We are visiting daytona for a week in November with our friends who have a condo there & have a couple of questions 1. I believe the Canadian operators card allows me to operate a boat in Florida also....just want to confirm it 2. We want to rent a boat there but not a pontoon boat or a...

89 340 express cruiser...the bottom stair to the galley is hinged & I am getting water in the compartment under those stairs. It can come in from either side & i know it isnt the port side where the fresh water pump is located as that area is reachable from the top & its always dry. It really...

Thx a lot, will check them out

On the main sliding door from the cocpit to the galley there is a latch that locks it in the open position to prevent it slamming open & closed when in rough water. Mine is broken & if anyone has one new or used please let me know & thanks! 89 340 Express cruiser

I had one running hotter than the other, switched gauges & same engine ran hot. Turned out to be the temperature sending unit. May want to check that first

Probably too late now but you might have liked this one Mataxi Maybe some of you know the greek shot Mataxa

Don't wince now..... a soaked SOS pad works wonders. It doesn't scratch the glass, just clean it normally afterwards. We use it in the auto industry also for removing overspray from glass after a vehicle has come out of a body shop....you know that fine stuff that creeps under the paper. On my...

I had low pressure & it ended up being the faucet in the galley sink. It was plugged inside. I just replaced it & all was fine

I had exactly the same problem with mine, it was only the kitchen faucet that was very slow to a trickle. I replaced it & problem solved

This one was really close to home....the next marina to us at the gas dock. I believe it was an older carver, just fuelled up & blew the lid right off the boat, propelled two in the water & one on the dock causing serious injuries I was told that he had engine work done the day before & was...

When I operate the windlass it will initially start feeding the anchor downwards but it stops. The motor stays running but it stops feeding. Now it takes two people....one to operate the switch & the other at the bow to assist by pulling the rope out. It will come all the way up by itself but...

Look at it carefully from various angles & make sure it sits level in the water. If it doesn't that may also be a clue for stringer rot. It may only be varying levels in the fuel tanks if there are two of them, or even an empty fresh water tank or a full holding tank. Any of these can make a...
