    running a little warm

    I don't want to be an alarmist an go straight to the high dollar item but I will anyhow. If it turns out to be your manifold/risers and they begin to send water to the block you are talking big $$$$$ if the engine hydra-locks. Over heating or no overheating I would replace them only because I...

    windlass question

    I have a simple question about using a windlass. The manual recommends you to tie the anchor line off on a cleat and not use the windlass to hold the line. How many people actually do this? I'm not talking about choppy water or high winds I'm talking about 4 to 5 ft of calm water, low to no...

    Would You?

    My oldest daughter worked at Boaters World for a few years when she was young. Those years exposed her to just about every boat part imaginable. To this day when I tell her I'm going to pick something up for the boat she will offer some advice. I love it. Today she is a Senior Graphic Designer...

    Service life of manifolds and risers

    That's about right IMO (Although I think the last part is a typo). I installed a Volvo Neutra salt system on my Bravo3. Went right on, no big deal. Now before I shut the engine down I induce a salt neutralizer into the raw water system it can't hurt and anything I can do to prevent having to...

    Barnegat Bay update

    I had the opportunity to talk to the people that search the bay for storm debris with their sonar equipped boat. Every time they find something on the bottom that should not be there they'll mark it with a small float. There is a barge equipped with a claw crane a day or two behind then that...

    Another disaster at sea...in Italy!

    I'm beginning to see a pattern here Pietro, it first began with Columbus, he set out for Asia and bumped into San Salvador instead. :wow:

    Sleeping on our cruiser

    Sleeping at the Marina is as safe as sleeping at a Motel but you can talk until you're blue in the face and it most likely wont change her mind. Try picking up one of these (click on the word these I was not referring to the photo below)and place it right next to where she sleeps, I know the...

    Purchasing 1998 270 da

    I agree with everything Jon said. I also have a 98 270da and love it. Perfect size bout for my wife and myself. Nice cruising boat but you will find yourself moving excess weight forward to help get it on plane. I would recommend a survey before buying, sounds like a broken record but you could...

    Quick question 1998 270da

    My boat is still shrink wrapped and a couple hours away which make it difficult to find the answer myself. I need a new riser arm for my Taylor made front hatch. There are 3 choices for hatch size 17x17, 18x18 and 20x20. I'm thinking 20x20 if anyone out there can measure theirs I would me...

    Insurance issues, Any ideas? (not a boat, Classic car)

    I've had collector cars for years and would always buy classic car insurance with a predetermined value. Haggerty insurance for example. Many times I would tear the car apart in the winter for repair, upgrade or whatever. Quite a few times I'd cancel my insurance while working on it figuring...

    Junk Lawsuit against a Yacht Club!

    I just came back from a walk, it's 31deg. and I was barefoot. My feet are cold...I'm suing the company that poured the concrete sidewalk! Why didn't I think of this before?

    9 month old March A/C fresh water pump dropped dead today.

    Don't start tearing it apart, I found this on their website: WARRANTYMarch pumps are guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of manufacture. Warranty will be extended for up to one year from the date of purchase, provided that the warranty card is...

    Did the Al-Qaeda kidnap KarenS

    She hasn't logged on since hurricane Sandy. I hoping for the best but a lot of folks in her neck of the woods are still a far way from putting their lives back together.

    Thinking about this boat

    You know the drill....if the woods dry, motor has life left, out-drive has not turned to powder etc... it could be a good deal, if not it could be a white elephant. Trivia: Where did the saying white elephant come from?
