I think the grandkids were messing around and turned the Port Ignition Switch to the "off" position. I cannot get it turned back "on". Thinking about replacing the whole switch (with new keys). Any idea on who might carry these. Thanks

ordered a new (and my first) Garmin NMEA Starter Kit and it's supposed to be delivered on Friday. If things line up, I may try to install or at least get started on this, this weekend. just not sure where to start: Mount in the engine compartment? Behind the dash? Underneath the dash? Should it...

My windlass fouled up the night of the 4th. Picture follows. Other than a sharp knife, any ideas on how to fix? Windlass will not operate from either the helm or the foot pedals.

Thinking about upgrading to a 2006/2007 44DA. Most of the "lake boats" seem to come with the 8.1's (or 8.1 HO) and part of me thinks I want the QSC500 diesels. Do I trade the torque of gas for the care and feeding of diesels? Would be interested to those of you that have wrestled with this...

Thinking about getting a YETI TUNDRA 105 as a fathers' day present to myself. Just having a hard time trying to justify this since it's 500 bucks just to hold ice and soft drinks for mostly the grandkids and occasional guests. Looking for any experiences (good or bad) based on your usage. Thanks

Was in the engine compartment yesterday just having a look. Heard something running and it was the fresh water pump. I checked all the faucets for leaks/drips, etc, and did not see anything. Since plumbing is not my Forte, should I pull this thing and see if it can be repaired, or just replace...

Galley refrigerator (Waeco Coolmatic RPD-011U) stopped working on A/C yesterday afternoon but seems to work ok on D/C. I'm guessing "power supply" and ordered the MPS50 from Amazon this morning. General concensus seems to be to go with the MPS50 instead of the MPS35. Anyhow, would be interested...

Got the oldest two out yesterday and they had a great time! Always nice to spoil them and then take them back to their parents.

Garmin(Airmar) B60. Never used. Purchased in February 2008, and still in original cartons. $100.00

In the process of cleaning out the basement, have come across some boat stuff that either doesn't work (maybe someone could use for parts) or no longer needed. What you see is what you get. Free to anyone that wants it.

Cleaning out the basement today and I have a Black Sunbrella Cockpit Cover that was made for our 2006 340 Sundancer. Good condition and includes 3 telescoping poles. Only used 4 or 5 times since the boat was in a covered slip. Stored in the basement ever since. $350.00

Dockmate has a 43DA and he is looking to replace the latches on the transom lockers. Have tried the usual sources with no success. Somewhere along Sea Ray went from plastic to metal and that's the ones we are looking for..

Thought I'd lost the impeller, but when I pulled the cover off, it looks ok. However the shaft freewheels so the impeller doesn't engage. Pulled that housing off and the gear looks good. So what do I try next?

Going through the boat this afternoon and it appears that the shower sump float switch has quit working. Just wondering if there's a "better" switch (solidstate?) that I could use as a replacement? Current switch is a Rule-A-Matic Plus with a 20 amp rating.

Have noticed that sometimes the generator start switch (remote) does not always work. I'm going to assume that perhaps the switch is going bad internally and not making the proper contact. According to the parts manual, the description for this is: 2 BODY, ROCK SW 2 CKT PROG W/IND LMP 758045...

Went by and picked up my dad this morning and took him to a local air show that had a fully restored (and flyable) B-17. My understanding is there are only 4 or 5 that are still flying. Since my dad is in his 90's (and he worked for Lockheed for 40 years), figured we may not have many days left...

You mention "boat", "dock", or "lake", and Leo is ready to go!

Don't use very much and I think this was the first time I've turned it on this year. The "Scanner" says ON, but neither the TX or STDBY options are available on the C80. I am guessing maybe the connector between the C80 and the radome could stand cleaning or one of these units are dying?

Looking at model JTV19DC to replace the old (dead) flip down in the mid cabin, and this looks (at least online) to be acceptable and at an ok price. Amazon has for $233.18 and My12voltstore shows $156.45. Anyone have any experience (good, bad, ugly) with Jensen?

Had to change out the satellite receiver box (Dish) and the new ones do not have a coax "out" connection, and the "modulator" box the technician installed just adds to a rats nest of cables. So I'm thinking that maybe its time to just run HDMI cables from the receiver box to the TV's. Right now...
