    San Souci, I put in Group 31s for the port and starboard and a Group 27 for the generator. So far, so good for me. I like the idea of the 8-D but space is an issue If you do not have the spare props on the port side, you might be able to get one forward of the generator starting battery, but...

    I presume you do not have the cockpit step: It mounts into brackets on the sidewall and is removeable. I do not know if any remain available or if you can find anything similar. PS - we have all kicked the horns more than once. Always fun when barefoot :mad:;):)

    We usually go up to the bow via the port side as the starboard has the air horns and shore power connections. We also have the full enclosure and leave the Bimini top up.

    The The middle cushion has snaps on the front edge so it can be flipped over and leaves the wood step/bench exposed to allow you to use it to get to the gunwale. I can take a picture of it when I get home to the boat later. I am actually taking a boater safety course today (as a refresher...

    My boat has the “wrap-around” seating in the cockpit. Forms a nice social and sitting area. I believe the step to access the gunwale is from the factory:

    Looks good. For brightness, I would suggest replacing the original round lights as well. I removed the original Perko lights and put in 4 Lumitec Mirage lights that are dimmable. You turn on the switch and the lights increase in intensity. You turn the switch off and back on and the lights...

    Only one light in the bunk cabin had a mounting plate already on the wall to which I mounted the new light. The other two I replaced (bunk cabin and main salon) did not have mounting plates and none were needed. I was able to simply mount on the wall and it covered the space taken up by the...

    These are the reading lamps I installed in both cabins of mine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K14S49K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Similar idea, but we wanted the brushed-nickel.

    I like the look of the light you found. Please post some pictures when you get it installed.

    Marine Max Vacations to BVI and the Bahamas

    Great write up Jim! Brought back a lot of memories for me. Went on my honeymoon (20 years ago) to the BVI. We stayed at the Bitter End Yacht Club for 10 days with trips to Saba Rock, the Baths, etc. A trip back to the BVI was always running through my mind, you just made me want to start...

    It is not too bad, as long as the bolts are not rusted or the bolt spins in the wood panel. If the panels are as rotted as you say, it is possible that a bolt or two may spin and you may not get the nuts off. A couple of mine were like that.

    Sounds like a plan. I would be interested in knowing what Raymarine says. Also, don't forget to check out BOE Marine and what price he can give, remember Jim created this site.

    Thanks Mark. I have been adding some older Raymarine units on my boat as well (RL80C, RN300 GPS and about to install an L760 depth unit). I may search eBay for the comparable autopilot. Glad you got the autopilot set up. Either it will help with the sale or you can use her on the cruise...

    Greg, I am thinking of adding an autopilot to my boat as well and am wondering which system to get as well. I too would like to hear what others say on the topic.

    Jones Inlet

    I was informed that there is a large gap between the buoys that looks like some are missing, but they are not. The space was intentionally left so that the powers that be are not "at fault" for someone hitting bottom inside a marked channel. I have actually not run the inlet yet this year, but...

    You may want to do some tests on the strainer and seacock to make sure everything is ok there. start by removing the strainer cover and check the strainer itself. Then open the seacock while the strainer cover is off to see how much water is coming out. It should have some flow to it. then...
