Interesting. The freezing issue hadn't dawned on me but makes sense. And the transfer of species is interesting but also makes a lot of sense. I do like the ease it gives in getting a fairly dry bilge. But I am also floored by the number of times this item causes issues for people. And it just...

Ok, so I admit, I started boating a little strangely. I went from friends smaller boats growing up to my own 1969 28' Owens sport fisher, which was an inboard and 10ft beam. No drain plug, just an inboard with a shaft seal I replaced for a dry version after packing it a couple of times. So...

Yep, that'd be correct! You should have seen all the jackets and jeans, people even put on shoes instead of flip flops, it was a sad point. :grin: I can't say I am disappointed that I moved out of the cold, nice to visit and see snow (even go skiing), just don't want to ever live in it again. :)

Ouch -32C, makes my back ache just thinking about it. And here I was complaining earlier this morning that it is overcast and around 18C here. I think I am going to try the 3M 4200UV. From what I found in searching around some more it sounds like Boat Life caulk and 3M both have their...

First I'd check the gauge wiring for +12v and for a good ground. Then next you need to determine if it is the gauge internals or the sending unit. Disconnect the (pink) wire from the fuel sending unit and ground it out, the gauge should now read full. If that works, likely the gauge is ok...

I am removing my helm and likely windshield so I can do some repairs and general resealing. One of the main reasons is I have to replace the door sliders both upper and lower and I noticed my helm caulking is brittle as is the caulking around the windshield frame. Not to mention it is all...

My assumption is you mentioned plugging in a SIM card so that if/when you travel outside the US service areas you can purchase a temporary SIM and plug it in and still be monitoring your vessel. Is that a fair assumption?

Totally understand that, no worries. Good luck to you as well.

Thanks! Noted on the service model, I think you have a real valid point there given we all pay quite a bit already just for the upkeep and dockage etc. I think there are some advantages, but I agree it shouldn't ever be mandatory just to use a product I already purchased. Twitter is actually...

First, just to be up front, I am not soliciting business just looking for input and ideas. My company (new to the recreational boating market) is looking to develop a few new products and are looking for boaters input. We are all hardware, software engineers and of course active boaters. We...

Not quite sure what you mean by this statement. But if I assume it means that the new gauge installed on either side does not work, it would seem to be either the wrong gauge or a wiring issue. To me that this is likely at least two issues. 1, the port fuel gauge has failed. 2, the wiring...

First, I just have to say I love your signature. I'd rather be slow and having fun than missing it all cause I am speed racer, personally. lol. Thank you for the advice, you are seconding my inner voice but I also have that nagging budget voice that keeps saying the more I look for things...

Hello, So new member, and happy to be so. I acquired a 1995 250 Sundancer 5.7 with Bravo II. It appears to have been reasonably maintained overall, but the prior owner wasn't a boat person and let the vessel sit for 3 years. I got it for a good price and so am in process of making it right...
