We are visiting daytona for a week in November with our friends who have a condo there & have a couple of questions
1. I believe the Canadian operators card allows me to operate a boat in Florida also....just want to confirm it
2. We want to rent a boat there but not a pontoon boat or a...
89 340 express cruiser...the bottom stair to the galley is hinged & I am getting water in the compartment under those stairs. It can come in from either side & i know it isnt the port side where the fresh water pump is located as that area is reachable from the top & its always dry.
It really...
On the main sliding door from the cocpit to the galley there is a latch that locks it in the open position to prevent it slamming open & closed when in rough water. Mine is broken & if anyone has one new or used please let me know & thanks!

This one was really close to home....the next marina to us at the gas dock. I believe it was an older carver, just fuelled up & blew the lid right off the boat, propelled two in the water & one on the dock causing serious injuries
I was told that he had engine work done the day before & was...
When I operate the windlass it will initially start feeding the anchor downwards but it stops. The motor stays running but it stops feeding. Now it takes two people....one to operate the switch & the other at the bow to assist by pulling the rope out. It will come all the way up by itself but...
There is a boat for sale, a 1992 440 DA. The lady selling it unfortunately lost her husband early this year
It has twin Cummings diesels & at this point I don't know much else about it exept that it is extremely well taken care of. Am going to make arrangements to view it this week
She is...
My mechanic has earned a recommendation here. Some things I do myself but other things are best left to the right guy.....& he is the right guy. Honest, more than fair & certainly knows what he is doing from the lift out to winterizing, storage & all repairs. He gets it done quick & right the...
Would like to share a story with a very positive experience doing business with searayman13 on Ebay.
I don't believe he is a member here but I sent him an e mail tonight suggesting he join, if he already is thats great
I removed two portlight windows on the port side as they were leaking. One...
Would like to give this fine gentleman a mention here on this board. Have had a few telephone conversations with him this week & I want to say what a fine guy he is. So willing to give of his time, so eager to assist & then goes above and beyond (should I say overboard ? lol)
Seriously Rusty A...
A couple of my blower vents are cracked & would like to replace them. Searayman has them on E Bay, he has white & black. What I would really love are chrome ones & he doesn't have them. It's likely a long shot but thought I would ask anyway, thank you

Have been looking for a double 30 amp into one 30 amp Y adapter & in Canada they have apparently all been pulled off the shelves as I am told they are not CSA approved. Anyone else run into this yet ?
They are on E bay & can cross to the USA if necessary to get one. Only in Canada eh ?

Maybe its just me & I shouldn't expect too much, anyway here's the rant. At the Toronto boat show a few weeks ago there was 2 types of food available, one being a few Pizza Pizza stands dotted around the place & a section they call " Meditteranian food". first of all I don't do Pizza Pizza as...
Trying to prepare for the buff & polish job before launch day. Need to buy a buffer, pads & polish
Looking at the shurhold dual action polisher....they say its foolproof as far as swirls & not burning edges & corners. Other people suggest a traditional style with speed adjustment like the...
Starting to get more excited about launch day & want to have the boat in perfect shape for the season
Not just cosmetically but under the hatches too
So....I bought 16 new spark plugs, wires & dist caps, am repacking all 4 stuffing boxes on drive shafts & rudder. Put a new water heater in at...
Hi everyone, Happy new year & I am sure everyone up here in the cold is starting to count the weeks to boating season. Aside from tuning the 7.4's & making a few other dry dock repairs, planning the buffing job etc, a major item on the agenda (for me anyhow as I don't currently have one) is a...
Well the 340 is out of the water sitting on blocks & stands for 5 very long months. She ran without a hitch for the last half of of the summer as thats as long as we have owned her. The worst thing with it has been water leaks & believe me they have been challenging. After asking on this forum...
Please if anyone has a pair of Clarion CM 262 speakers I am in need of a pair either new or in good used condition, or if anyone knows a suitable update / replacement speaker that will fit & sound the same or better without altering anything, that info would be greatly appreciated. I believe...
I hate the name of my 340 express that was acquired about a month ago & would love to change it. So many say not to as it is bad luck. Has anyone changed the name of a newly purchased used boat ? whats the general consensus ?
Just so you know why I hate it, here it is.. "Nasssty Buoy" (exact...
