Now that Hurricane Season 2010 has come and gone, I have put my baby back in the water. I had a full engine service done and a new trim sender installed wheile she was out of the water. I also had some issues with overheating and so I had them check the impeller.
I woke up last Sunday and...
Great looking boat the tower really makes it. I love my 270 which I bought from a guy in St. Clair and had to test last October on the Lake. I have had mine out in 4-6 ft waves and with the right trim the bow stays nice and dry.
The only thing I am looking to add is speakers to the tower.
Hi, i had an issue with low pressure for my freshwater on board. The shop replaced the strainer and last weekend everything was working great. I went out this afternoon to give the boat a run and to get it set-up for a full day out tomorrow with guests.
I flipped the water pump switch on...
I got my first warning of low level of lube in my drive on the Northstar last weekend, thought it was very cool. Topped it off and now I am all set. I also like the fact that it keeps a history of the faults.
Not sure I will have a look as I had the dealer install the Smartcraft gateway into a Northstar 550 that I used to replace the Navman that came with my Select.
I have to say I love the Corsa on my 270 Select SLX with the 496 HO - given my boat is docked behind my home it certainly gets the neighbours up on a Saturday morning, it is my payback for my )(*&^% neighbour with the leaf blower.
Well, I am happy with my float, last weekend I waded into the bar at Rum Point and when I was returning to the boat with hands full of Mudlsides, I hear this guy call out "Dude, are those your keys?" and they they were bobbing along with the little yellow float. I am sure the crystal clear...
I was out on the water today, got back to the dock and noticed that the forward sump keeps running even if I turn off the battery, there is no water coming out from the drain. the engine bilge is fine.
I have no idea how to access this pump as I think it is under the fresh water holding...
SNOW DAY - after growing up in Ottawa and living in Montreal, Canada, I made my break for the beautiful Cayman Islands 10yrs ago and finally bought my first boat after staring at an empty dock space for all that time. The boat name came to me the first day I took her out as I got that same...
I dont have many options and I saw how boats got tossed around after Ivan in Sept 04. I will just haul it out and hope for the best. Last time I ended up with a 30 ft Century still tied to its dock in my front yard.

Thanks for your input on this, they just finished the install of my Northstar 550 to replace the Navman 5500 and so far so good except that the installer didnt hook up whatever is needed to get the depth data from the transducer into the GPS. Also it looks like there is a lot of...
