found this video on Youtube, kind of different, got a few chuckles out of it, wonder if he'll make others. figured I'd share.

so I'm running the original binnacle controls on my 4.3/alphas and I'm having an issue that seems to be getting worse and worse of not being able to start my starboard engine. I used to have to occasionally wiggle the control in nuetral to get it to crank. now I have to wiggle the absolute hell...

So I've been doing a ton of needed rewiring on my 270, and its been going well but I have this odd issue with my battery charger. I have a cockpit stereo and amp that was added by the previous owner and placed on two separate breakers on my dc panel so that you can have the choice to run the...

so I'm redoing the panel around my stereo in the cabin to include my AC/Heat controls and was looking for suggestions of a good material to use that would at least somewhat match the rest of the interior. as it sits now the stereo sits in some sort of weird fake marble looking plastic that...

so lets start off by saying that 3rd graders probably understand electrical wiring better then I do. Basically I'm struggling with the issue that after many owners and lots of aftermarket spaghetti I'm trying to add a few extra accessories (lights, a cigerrete lighter, TV antenna) and I've run...

okay, so I've finally gotten to see my boat since it's been pulled out of the water (sad I know) and crawled behind the boat to see that it looks as though the outdrives have been swimming in acid all summer. when I bought the boat they were in rotten shape, I scraped them down, cleaned them up...

has anyone tried this stuff on gelcoat yet? as the sun is inevitably trying to reoxidize my hardwork I did restoring the red on my 22 I'm wondering If spraying this stuff on the side of the hull would be a nice easy fix to avoid any rebuffing in the spring while the boat sits all winter. looks...

so the wife is looking into replacing all our cavas (cha-ching!) and I'm sort of having issues of deciding what all needs replaced. nearly all my curtains have cracked isenglass, thanks to a hail storm) and all the zippers are toast so that's a no brainer but, the big question (and likely...

so although I hate to admit it, we decide we've found ourselves missing the ability to actually watch TV on board the 270. I picked up a SeaWatch 2030 (21") omnidirectional because I was worried the 14" wasn't going to be powerful enough, and I found a deal on one. now that this thing arrived...

so I'm worried I've got some sort of electrical gremlin living in my boat, since I took delivery last fall I've lost my fridge, the raw water pump on the A/C, and the freshwater system pump. all these systems worked fine prior to me taking ownership. lost the fridge on the first day of...

It's official I hate my boat. :smt021Since I've taken ownership of this 270 I have yet to enjoy a weekend on the water. after an extended weekend of nothing but more problems, more mishaps, more things breaking and digging deeper into my wallet I dont' know how much more I can take before the...

just so you can join me on the roller coaster emotional ride of my Saturday:smt101 good news: was able to fix all my broken bimini brackets with ease, the best part was for once I had a project that was on the cheap end of the scale:grin:. bad news: filled the water tank while still on the...

I'm planning to tow my 27' home for some repairs and side projects. trouble is the marina it's stored at doesn't "do trailers". I know a few tires don't hold air, and I don't think the brakes are working, but I've only towed the trailer once empty and that was a whole 5 miles. Can anyone...

figure it's a fun winter dreaming topic. While I should be more then thankful at my oppurtunity and good fortune of owning 2 boats (plus a dingy) that I truely love and enjoy, I find I do nothing but dreaming of "what's next". I'd put my boating addiction officially at "junkie" status. Surely...

so I'm thinking about installing some underwater LED's on my 88 Sundancer and it would require me to drill a 1/4" hole below the waterline to run the wire through. now I've read that the best method for doing this is to drill a larger hole (1/2"). fill with epoxy and then drill that to prevent...

well I've been a bit of a stalker for a while here, figured it was time to finally post and say hello.....especially since the Pachanga forums are down.:huh: right now just have an old 91 22 Pachanga with a warmed over 350 Mag....wanted this boat since I was 8 years old! finally got her about 4...
