I have finally had enough of the clarion xmd1 and using a transmitter to play music from my phone each weekend. I am going to replace all of the speakers and sub since everything is original and I want to update it all at once. I am looking for something that is bluetooth capable and that...

Their is a good chance that I will be relocating to the Charlotte area in the next year or so and with that we are looking for a new area to boat. It looks to be about a 3 hour drive to the coast if we were to choose that option, however we are also interested in other lakes around the...

We are starting to think about finding a place in Florida and with that we want a center console. We are go to keep the current boat we have and use it as a home base, however the CC will allow us to run around the bay and to restraunts and what not. We typically do a 1-2 fishing trips on a...

Today when I was returning back to the marina, my port engined seemed to not drop the RPM's when I throttled back. It was as if the throttle was still pushed up a bit and when I shifted to neutral I heard it clunk so I immediately shut it down. When I attempted to restart it idled perfectly...

I had found a solution around the non existent aux input on the clarion unit by using my IPod classic and a transmitter. However, my IPod classic just hit the dust and they do not make them anymore so I don't have anything that will hold all of my music anymore. Now I am looking to upgrade the...

I have always dreamed of owning an exotic car and am finally at the point where I can make it possible! I already am aware that it is a stupid purchase with deprecation, but so is boating! I looked at an 05 f430 and really liked it however I'm not 100% sold on ferarri! I'm curious if anyone here...

When we pulled back in the slip this weekend we turned the fridge back to shore power before we left. However, we noticed that what seems like the fan cuts off and back on after about 5-10 minutes of running. The first 5-10 it runs no problem, and then it starts cutting in and out. Each time...

This weekend we took about a 2.5-3 hour cruise up to the fireworks. Today when I checked the oil levels both were below the acceptable level for operating. Marine Max "claims" they changed the oil this past November when it was hauled an put on blocks but I am doubting that with how black it...

One of the guys on our dock just purchased a 2002 340. This past weekend he fired it up and it ran for 2-3 hours no problem. Then out of no where shutdown and didn't trigger an alarm for why it shutdown. When he went to fire it back up it will not turn over but you can hear it attempting to...

My son is 20 years old and comes out on the lake with us just about every weekend! He knows how to operate every system on the boat and can take it out and park it in the slip no problem. However, every time he has done this it's when I have been on board. This past weekend he asked me if he...

After removing the bathroom hatch and pulling it out of its spot I noticed in one of the corners about a 2inch spot of wood that was wet. The rest of the surrounding area is dry as a bone. What should I do before resealing the area around the hatch?

http://s1056.photobucket.com/user/gator1116/library/?sort=3&page=1 We came back from a night on the water and while I was in the bilge noticed some oil and water coming from the generato. The more I looked realized the oil was coming from a hose with a cap on the end that just seemed to need to...

I have a Garmin 5212 chart plotter and my vhf and depth sounder are the original Raymarine pieces that came with the boat. Does any one know how to have my chart plotter display the depth as well as the Raymarine depth sounder display it? Also, I am not very familiar with AIS but wondering how...

I am looking at buying a dinghy and have found one online that looks relatively new, however the owner does not know the year. Does anyone know if their is a way to find out the year of the dinghy? I know the model is the Zodiac C310S but have not found out a year.

The hatch over the head seems to be leaking! What's the best way to seal this up? Unscrew it all or just reapply a sealant around the edge of the hatch outside?

Anyone know why some boats I see have 2 vhf antennas on their boat? Only thing I could think of is they are running 2 different vhf's but was wondering if it was for any other reason.

My wife and I are sick of being land locked on Lanier. We are considering moving the boat to the Fernandina Beach area or near Mobile since we have family in both of the general areas. Does anyone boat in that area that can give me some insight on either area? We really like the Fernandina...

Today when out on the water I fired up the genny and turned on everything. About 45 secs in to using the microwave the breaker trips, so I flipped it and tried it again, got the same result. Then I tried flipping everything off except for the microwave and the same thing happened. When I got...

When changing the duckbills on my 02 380, do I have to remove the pump to access them? I looked at the diagram and noticed there are 2 on either side of the pump, but I don't know if I am missing somsomething to make this process easier.

When I fired my generator up today I noticed that the water coming out the side and an oily/slick look to it. I am wondering if it is running rich or another problem because this does not seem normal. Has anyone encountered this problem or know of a solution to this? thanks
