    The website Ignore feature is your friend

    Like all public free web forums, there are always a few that will piss you off on a regular basis, some even target you just because they can. I recently used the Ignore feature to, well, ignore them. I was hesitant to initially do it because it felt rude. I also appreciate what I learned...

    I like boat project's almost, maybe as much as, maybe even more than, boating

    I think about this from time to time, how much I enjoy the challenge of fixing something, a project, etc. and the reward when it's done. If you have ever taken Clifton Strength Finders assessment one of the themes people have is called Restorative...

    Chasing down a slow Vacuflush leak, what to check next

    The boat has had a Vacuflush leak of some kind for the 2 season/years I have owned it. I had it looked at, and worked on, in Kent Island, MD, before I brought it home. The Vacuflush cycles for about 10 seconds every hour or so. The duck bills were replaced then, same issue. The seal at the base...

    All the stuff/crap we accumulate on the boat

    Finishing up the 2nd season with the 380DA. Decided to do a little decluttering yesterday. Good grief, the stuff I have already collected in a short 2 years. More spare/new parts (I never installed), bolts, nuts, clamps, hoses, stuff I don't know what it is, towels, cleaners, sprayers, waxes...

    Kenwood KAC-M1814 4-Channel Compact Bridgeable Marine/Motorsports 400W Max Power Digital Amplifier

    I purchased this amp a couple of months ago while I was upgrading and tuning my stereo system. I was planning to replace the one in the cabin with this one. I am very happy with the way everything sounds now and no longer need this. It's still in the box, never unpacked, never used. Kenwood...

    Chirping noise when shifting into Forward

    When I put the starboard engine into forward, I'm hearing a chirping/ringing noise when I go back to neutral. I think it's only when putting the starboard engine into forward gear, and then going back into neutral. You can hear it in this video https://photos.app.goo.gl/pBzhGnAEReyj3pHt6 Any...

    Streaming options for an "old" home stereo

    I own this kid: https://www.denon.com/en-au/shop/avreceiver/avr1312 I no longer use it for home theater, I am surprisingly happy with the sound bar I bought. I have 4 Polk bookshelf speakers in 4 rooms downstairs, with a powered sub next to the Denon AVR 1312. I plug my phone into a 3.5 25'...

    How does AC DC work on the boat?

    Like this: I was tuning the new amp more when I noticed this, reminded me of the 1980s Hi Fi stereo components we had with needles.

    Drain, flush and fill coolant on westerbeak 7.6 diesel generator

    Ugh, Subject should read Westerbeke. I've been trying to learn how to do this.I found some posts on boat diesel.com but they didn't help a lot. I've searched here as well with mixed results. Does anyone here know how/where to drain, flush, and then refill the coolant on this generator?

    Look at these 8.1 440HP rebuilds...

    Maxum's were on my short list of new to me boats in my last few searches. I looked at a couple of 3700/4100s. Fit and finish was not for me though. Because I have nothing better to do I left the searches turned on. This one showed up recently...

    Bring a Trailer (BAT) Thread

    I recently discovered BAT, and for shits, grins and giggles I watch some of the bidding and comments. I'm curious about a particular car as well so I may end up buying one. And, I am considering selling one of mine on there as well. Does anyone have personal experience (bought, sold, or both)...

    It may be time to replace the cabin refrigerator

    Possible/Probable winter project: The original/factory cabin refrigerator on my boat is not keeping the beers nice and cold, the cockpit one is. I searched here as well as the internet and get mixed results on how to remove/reinstall and what make/model to go with. For those of you who have...

    Crutchfield does know marine, and they are awesome

    When I first started researching upgrading my stereo components there were a few folks here who snubbed Crutchfield, and said they don't know marine, don't buy from them for their technical expertise. Well, they do know marine, and their tech assistance was exceptional. The tech I worked with...

    For those of you who have replaced a faucet

    After trying to fill a water bottle in the cockpit sink this weekend and realizing I can't, it's too low, I'd like to replace that faucet with something taller. I am not looking for a major project thought no cutting, no sawing, drilling, etc. Is there a plug and play replacement? This one:
