    100 foot boats

    I have an acquaintance who has a 95' yacht that he had built in 2017. It's amazing but he absolutely hates it. They live aboard and travel the world but he hates that he has to have a captain and a mate on the boat. He said when he had an 85' yacht he ran it himself. Travis is a very...

    Location of Halon control module on 420AC

    Trying to track down some issues and want to make sure that the sea fire control system is not part of the issue. Can't seem to find the control module though. My issue is that when I hold my single switch remote generator start switch down it will start normally but as soon as I let it go...

    Strange vacuflush issue - pump keeps running despite replacing almost everything

    Got to the boat on Friday and let the pump run for 8 minutes and then turned it off manually. 10 minutes later, attempted to flush with no luck (or vacuum.)

    Strange vacuflush issue - pump keeps running despite replacing almost everything

    I'll be back down on the boat tomorrow so I'll try that. @Express 390, that's what I was thinking too which is why I bought a new pressure switch. It just doesn't make sense though that there would not be enough pressure to pull the plunger to open the contact.

    If I manually manipulate the vacuum pump switch (both the old and the new) the pump will shut off.

    macerator running but not pumping out

    Had this happen the other day. Turned it off and then back on several times and tapped on it and it started to pump. Almost like the yuck was stuck and it needed a little bit of finese.

    Strange vacuflush issue - pump keeps running despite replacing almost everything

    I removed the pressure switch (switch still connected) and put my hand over the opening. There was vacuum. This was to see if there was a clog up in that area. I removed the pump from the tank and put my hand over the opening (that would normally go into the tank) and there was vacuum I...

    Need quick performance numbers - 2006 Sundancer 390/400 with diesels

    A good friend is picking this boat up next week. I will be joining him for the return trip. He's moving up from a trawler so this boat will be a little faster! I need a quick idea of fuel burn and cruise speed for this boat with diesels. If it's fast enough, we can make a 2 day trip in one...

    Which switch will start this [.]itch - 420AC generator

    I hate to admit it but I finally gave up on it. If you could do me a huge favor though, I might be able to figure it out - can you take a photo of the wiring to your switch? It is possible that I messed up reading the diagram and put the wires on in the wrong place (I don't think so, but I'm...

    2019 season is done

    How much weight can I put on the front deck of a 420 aft cabin?

    I can’t speak for other areas but folks on GTC are working a couple of different avenues. a lot of the items go to the dump and are burned. This is and has been common on the island. There has been talk about getting a barge to ship out items that did not burn. Unfortunately, given the...

    Boating Footwear

    Barefoot only on my boat. Flipflops to get to/from. I keep a pair of tennis shoes on the boat just in case I have to go someplace where I have to walk a good distance.

    How much weight can I put on the front deck of a 420 aft cabin?

    GTC. It's a shame but all of the "family islands" have pretty much been neglected by the Bahamian government. On GTC, the PM came by about 3 weeks ago and spend 20 minutes there. A friend of mine said it best - if it wasn't for the "rich Americans" helping, there would be no Abacos now.

    How much weight can I put on the front deck of a 420 aft cabin?

    Rusty, I was able to hook up with a captain friend of mine who happens to be running a barge over - damn I got lucky! as for the swim platform, that thing gets wet without 1200lbs on it!
