We do a combo of Damp Rid canisters/hangers and a modified dehumidifier: we drilled a hole low on the exposed vertical side of the collection drawer and installed a rubber grommet with aquarium style clear tubing long enough to drop into the sink drain. Although not designed to run...

Bummer about the 39, dwna1a, but boy, your work on the 30 sure is paying off!! And I'm watching the transom fix conversation intently....that's a likely project for mine this winter.

First thought....perhaps weave/tie a dock line to the underside, using the existing structure on each side of the mesh area. Then run each side under the firm section, pulling taut to attach to the platform at the same points as the cording from the rings on the top back edge? That might...

The enviable swim platform upgrade!! Some other folks I know who also have 80s models have done the deed, as well--no regrets among them, and I'm sure you have none, either. There are a few things ahead of that in my budget, but maybe someday IYL will get one, too. (Thank you for the offer--I...

Oh no--that's terrible! Crossing fingers for you.

The stainless support brackets that run from transom to underside of swim platform--mine has three, which bent in a storm my first season and have weakened/worn through over time. As a complete noob at the time, either it didn't occur to me to file an insurance claim, or I feared that filing...

Oh wow what a year....and a half....or something like that? Seems the rest of yas have been quite busy outside of CSR, too, with that long gap between November and March! Flooring looks great, dwna1a--will your non-boating gig lighten up at all for you to enjoy the fruits of your labor soon...

That sucks!

Thank you so much!

Are your specs upthread somewhere on what panels and controller you're using? (I've been having issues searching the thread no matter what I'm looking for; probably user error!) I gave up trying to have my generator repaired, and am betting a solar solution will be less expensive than...

Not voting, just sharing thoughts. How often do you open your hatches? If it's rare, and if the type of carpet you're using is fairly manageable to roll out of your way when needed, a single piece might be a great choice to minimize trip hazards as you mention. If you open the hatches...

Dumb question time: standard vs. counter rotating drives/props....how can I confirm what I've got? A "mechanic" said mine counter rotate, but that person also said some other things that I've learned don't jive, thus the quotation marks to use the term loosely! I do know the current props are...

Batteries were my first thought--a refrigerator is a HUGE power draw, so low batteries just can't do the job. However, if a fridge is dual power and wired properly, it should bypass the batteries completely when you're on shore power. Have you confirmed what you have and how they're wired? If...

Looks great, not to mention very easy to clean!

Thank you--knowing some other possible lines of inquiry will help! I agree this is the most important question. At the same time, I'm genuinely curious what kind of spectrum exists for people with the condition, and how the tests differ from one another. Where it concerns him, I'd be curious...

Posting on behalf of a friend who isn't a member.... Friend is pursuing captain's licensing with intention to change careers. Based on his results on the Ishihara test, the National Maritime Center wants to place a daytime only restriction on his license, which he feels will severely affect his...

Lookin' good! And it appears to be a little less complicated than I was assuming--slightly different model than mine, so your carpet doesn't go up the wall at the base of the head. And since you're not pulling the carpet from the v-berth step wall, you don't have to get quite as creative...

This guy made a 90 degree bend lengthwise--patience seems key! And I agree with Sundancer that glue/adhesive will be key, too, especially at the threshold of the head since there will be less surface area along the top/bent edge, and you'll have to navigate a corner, either with a joint all the...

Asked and answered: millions of people in the US ingest pills daily or get injections quarterly or more frequently to prevent pregnancy, some go so far as to get implantable devices, and some use barrier methods alone or in combination. It appears that many humans find it extremely important...

Same song, next refrain: when there is a virus with this level of transmissibility, a large percentage of a population is vaccinated, and that same population may be undergoing periodic testing as a standard and/or full-scale testing when exposure, symptoms, and/or infection are detected, this...
