Nice work! Care to share what that nice piece set you back?

Nice work. Care to share what that set you back?

I use a spanner wrench on mine. Not sure if that's the correct terminology but it works like a charm.

I recently took an old friend, who happens to be fighting a battle with cancer at the moment, to a day and an evening concert at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. While I was fueling up he slipped into the Marina office and attempted to pay the fuel bill. (love these kinds of passengers). Alas, I was...

Perhaps the good Dr. could clue the rest of us in as to the exact location necessary for each of the access panels....:grin:

Sounds great. Thanks for the info.

Well it looks like the City of Baltimore and Indycar have managed to work out the problems from last year and there will be another Baltimore Grand Prix this year. I'm wondering who might be planning to go this year by boat (or otherwise) and what your plans might be. Also, having not recently...

How about Marina seasonal rates? My Marina has generally been sold out for the season each year well before the season starts. This year there are a few vacant seasonal slips left at this point and I don't see much activity toward filling them. In my line of work most of my contemporaries have...

I'll do anything but transmission work. Not only is it very satisfying to do ones own work, it makes boating far more affordable. This way my annual cost of ownership is low enough that I can step up in size comfortably and not sweat the budget too much. And if I don't get as much use from the...

Pietro, I have gassers and with full fuel and water tanks the water line is just touching the bottom of the exhaust ports. (that's with me leaning over to see the ports so there's another big load in the rear corner) I would imagine the diesels make the difference. I have the original swim...

Hey, at least you can get a duck sound out of yours. My air horn hasn't worked since I purchased the boat (don't worry, I have backup) and when I disassembled it most of the internal parts appear to be missing. I assume that the PO attempted to repair it and just gave up, not that uncommon in...

Thinking of making a trip to the Inner Harbor and was wondering if any folks here have an opinion or recommendation for a transient Marina in the area. Any help would be appreciated.

The crazy part is that all these well screened/and otherwise unhappy people are all flying around inside a big metal tube filled with UNSCANNED cargo that is really the problem. If the TSA would focus their attention on this issue there wouldn't be enough time left for the them to look sideways...

Well now I guess we now know who dropped them in.....:grin: Good Luck on the search. I was cleaning a strainer basket last week and that slippery little thing jumped right out of my hand, bounced once and went swimming in ten feet of water. Off to West Marine I went and 50 bucks later I was...

I've recently done this project and many thanks to Frank Webster for pointing me in the right direction on this. There are two boards in this system on my boat, one mounted on the helm and the other mounted behind the helm accessed in the galley area. I removed both components and shipped...
