Obviously this is a little tough to describe clearly on a forum and even more difficult to give advice but any help is appreciated. I have a westerbeke genny on the 330 that is sending out 15.5 volts to the DC systems out of the blue. I had all the batteries checked ok. If I turn on shore...

ah, didnt read your post before I put mine on. i had work till noon yesterday but wow, what great wx for catalina, probably better than the wx we had almost all summer. we could see it on our way into lax but it had that perfect amount of haze that tells you there's zero wind, flat perfect...

80 degrees on the coast yesterday in SoCal..been like that all week. Finally global warming pays off, love it. Need it warmer though, the water is cold, around 55 to 58.

I hear you. Some people do go into that grudge match stage or get offended. That is where the seller loses alot more than the buyer in my opinion. You went out and found another boat you like. He likely still has the boat he doesnt want and is out another 20K by now. When it comes to...

I would hope the broker already brought that up but you'd be surprised how many dont, both in boating and realstate. As Ronald Reagan would say, "trust but verify." I figured there may be another offer but even still, that should be yet another negotiating tool the broker should use...

My take on this is the seller doesnt want to sell THAT much if you are within 6K or so. Yeah the buyer can come up 6K "if it isnt that big a deal" but what I think alot of sellers forget is the buyer isnt saddled with carrying costs while he looks for boats. That is in stark contrast to the...

Now it all makes sense! The mystery is solved. For years now I've been reading some very intense threads with angry posts and discussions that always cool down and conclude with a simple question or comment.

THAT is the truth. Sad but true.

Yes it clears it up, thanks. I understand what you are saying and I agree. The unions do get a little out of hand. I guess that may be a latent response from the years of management going over the line as well. Nontheless, yes it is a give and take, and we have to be careful not to kill the...

Some unions suck and some cars suck. You find one that works, you dont just stop driving cars. In the end you did keep representation. You obviously had a need for it. The pro-union guys here feel they have a need for it too.

You are confusing me here. I dont think anyone here sounds like they have a bad attitude regarding their company but you seem put off by a few guys here that are pro-union. Pro union doesnt mean anti-company by default. We know airline pilots would be making about $10 hour right now without...

Well said, well said.

Yes I would put one behind the anode too because over time the threads of the bolt will get little mini barnacles on them and when you try to remove the nut that holds on the anode, it may start to turn the bolt which will ruin the sealant you have on the bolt through-hull. My 330 has the nut...

OK I reflected.....I'm going with Ben. Should we give up our rights to bear arms? The government believes we, the people, would be safer without them so it must be true right? The last thing the government wants is its citizens armed to the teeth. If the government is so innocent and looking...

I think any rights we may have had were given up under the patriot act. We never really had too much in the way of safety regarding illegal searches anyway. Everything is 'probable this or that.' Probable cause is so easy for them to defend. "He was loud", "he smelled of alcohol", "we heard...

They need us alot believe me. If the US defaulted on them their economy would fall like a rock. If we halted trade with them they would be destroyed and we would pay $10 more for a toaster and $42 more for an Apple Ipad. Who needs who more? They loaned us billions of dollars, they need that...

Or maybe we can demand they raise the standards of work to an ethical level before we trade with them? Instead of lowering our standards to compete with their lousy conditions, how about they raise their standards?

Prices would not go through the roof. They would go up but not through the roof. An Apple Ipad cost over $550. $8 of that is labor in China. That same labor here in the USA is estimated at $50. So an Ipad would cost $42 more. That is 8% or so. Admittedly some items are more labor...

So we are afraid of the tarriff wars. Why werent THEY afraid of a tarriff war when they said we cant export hardly anything while they export everything? Because they had some guts. We run around scared and agree to everything they demand no matter what the cost. What do we export to them...
