I'm no expert but I also don't get enough info online (that I can find) to help me select the best product(s) for my boat. My goal is to ultimately boost the reception of all the electronice (other that GPS which is working fine). First priority is HDTV because the Admiral wants to watch the...

When I put the starboard engine in reverse, I hear what sounds like an alarm (continuous tone) coming from the engine compartment. I hear it from the helm while docking. Any thoughts on this?

So year after year I have washed out and saved the various little and medium size plastic containers for the damp rid. It allows me to simply purchase the refills at home depot and save a few bucks. So where the heck are they? Arrrrgh! Can't find them anywhere. Poof! Gone. Disappeared...

A work assignment will have me in Baltimore and throughout Maryland for the winter. I'm hoping to find a 45' slip to use through March as a live-a-board. Cost is a concern as this will not be my primary residence and not expense reimbursed. Any suggestions and referrals are very welcome...

Based on some posts I read here, I downloaded the "free" Garmin Home Port software. Unfortunately, it appears to require that you purchase a $160 chart to use it. Am I missing something? I just want to have something much less expensive or even free to plan cruises at home so I can estimate...

Moved to a new marina this year and already have issues boarding the boat at certain tides. Best I can tell so far is that I need a two step option. That said, it would also be great to be able to take them with us when we go cruising to other marinas as often this problem exists away from...

http://youtu.be/msP-yHaU1Ts This popped up on my LinkedIn account today. Its long but well worth the time. This guy does a great job explaining why (as is said by CEO of MarineMax at the end) I am sooooo glad I own a SeaRay. Unfortunately, I also had similar experiences with MarineMax.

In the "2013 Chesapeake Gathering" thread, several of us indicated an interest in a raft-up. So let's do it. I'll update this original post as we go with additional information but want to get it out there to start the discussion. So far we know: Place: Conquest Beach Date...

Well, looks like I won't be squeezing another year out my aft deck canvas enclosure. Saturday, Sept. 9 a storm blew through Rock Hall generating up 78 mile an hour winds. I wasn't there but my neighbors said it was pretty impressive. Blew my aft enclosure to shreds. :smt089 Others on the...

OK. So last year someone stole my perfectly good, 5HP, 2-stoke Merc. Ran like a top. Got my 9' inflatable bottom Achillies on plane and ran like a bandit. I am testing out a new (3-4 hours) 6HP 4-stroke Merc from a friend. Motor seems to run fine but clearly does not seem to have the punch...

Because its for a boat, new fenders seem expensive to me. Besides, If I buy a new one, it won't match the other 3 "weathered" fenders mounted nicely on the bow rail. So does anyone know of a way to repair a slow leak in the valve? The folks at the local sporting goods and the MM folks had no...

In over 20 years of boating, we have never had a single malicious event. Can't say that any more. Arrived late afternoon at Knapps Narrows Marina, docked at the east end of the floating dock. Great view. Swam, had a few munchies and beer and then went to dinner. Came back before dark, had...

I have bragged many many times how Sea Ray had the best customer service (800-772-6287). Over the years, I had called them on a few occassions and was always connected with someone who was extremely knowledgeable in my question and very helpful. Today, a recording told me to take a hike (go to...

This is the thread we all hope we never need to post. But unfortunately, my mechanic tells me the rings are bad and a rebuild is in order. Ouch!:smt089 So how much do I need to save? Anybody want to buy a Harley?

Saw this in another thread so instead of hiacking that thread - started a new one. Don't feed the ducks...I didn't know that :huh: http://www.liveducks.com/bread.html

Brand new roll (5' X 38') Got directly from Sea Ray to match the "tan" bimini on my 2000 380AC. It has the plastic backing that was used for many years. This would be perfect for someone wanting to match the original color as this is no longer available (I think) from Sea Ray or Sunbrella...

My dingy is dead! And no, not even Viagra will help :grin: So what is the best brand to look for in a Dingy? Also, what are your thoughts on fiberglass vs. inflatable bottom? We have a dog and anchor out all the time so we use our dingy a lot. We also like to just go for rides in it. We...

We're planning a short cruise for July when we are taking some family along (no worry, we get along great and the kids love boats). After we spend a night at St Michael's, where can we go to drop the hook for a night or two. A beach is very desireable because we have a dog to walk. Are there...

http://www.aquapalooza.com/Page.aspx/pageid/9271/eventId/81007/view/detail/Mid-Atlantic-Events.aspx July 31 at Conquest Beach. Anyone going? Last year there were rumblings (whinning) about how it was not that great. So what. Let's get a CSR raft going and we'll make our own good time.
