Hello All, I have not posted here in quite a while, I hope everyone is fine. On our last trip, some threads gave way on our aft cockpit seat. Only around 5 inches. I would like to remove the seat and take it in for to have it re sewn. The problem is I cannot find a way to remove it. It appears...

From "Bahamas Chatter", I heard that the Bahamian Government will be confiscating guns on pleasure craft when checking in and returning them upon departure. Has anyone confirmed this yet? Secondly, I would be curious how they will be able to inventory and properly return them? Please don't...

So, I am not going to trash anyone specific...yet, but are there any brokers out there that have any ethics or morals? A few of you know I have been in the market for a late model 2007 or later 58 Sedan Bridge with low hours 250 or less. A year ago we found one in Maryland though a broker in...

After three years I finally started doing my own engine service. $500.00 in filters and oil. It took almost all day today, but the engines and genset started up on the first try. Changed all engine, tranny and genset oil, filters and fuel filters. Filled the filters prior to install and the...

We went and pulled out ski boat out of dry storage today and were getting it ready for spring when we noticed the damage shown below. My first thought was that some water may have gotten in it and froze over the winter, but I cannot find any possible place water could have entered. There...

On our way to Bimini last week, the WIF alarms went off on both engines (540 Cummins) within about 15 minutes of each other. Sorry we did not make it Mike and Randy. We did make lemonade out of lemons in Key Largo and then down to Key West. We had a mechanic visit us in Key Largo. There was...

Coming back from our "Plan B" trip, we left Hawks Cay across the Florida Bay and along the west coast of Florida home to Cape Coral. About 10 miles north of the Keys, our port engine heated up to around 188 (typically 174-175). Paging through the Smartcraft, I noted the port transmission gear...

While heading to Key West Monday in 3 to 5 foot seas, we lost one of the three dead light windows (starboard side). It just popped out. We were only at 12 to 15 knots, not pounding the haul at all. In December, were were heading back from the Keys in 3 to 5's when we noticed water coming in on...

Have any of you had a chance to figure this new study out. The way I understand it, they are trying to designate areas as critical habitat limiting water depths and the number and sizes of docks. My main concern is when this may take effect as almost all of Cape Coral, Florida is in the...

I believe we have the Racor 75-900's on our 540 QSC engines. My searches come up with either the 2040 or 2020 filter elements. Does anyone know the exact filter element? Which specific filter should we use including...(2, 10 or 30 micron)? Any help is always appreciated.
