    Speakers for sale

    I have 4 6.5" Panasonic marine speakers @ 160W each, and the 10" woofer for sale. They work fine. I swapped them out for Fusion lighted ones. $25 each and $100 for the woofer. You pay shipping. They will come in the Fusion box so don't be fooled. Mike

    CNC Machine

    If you know my son Michael, you probably realize he loves our boat and boating more than any of us. So here he is on a bored winter day at school learning to use the CNC machine.

    Electrical gurus please

    Morning folks, I replaced my fresh water pump Saturday. Same specs as the old one (5gpm). Snipped 2 wires, respliced 2 wires with shrink fittings, and reconnected water fittings. Since then, 3 times the switch on the panel tripped. Ideas? Could the splices in the shrink fittings be...

    2022 N. Michigan Trip

    The Blue Angels did not disappoint. Jeff (J. Wilt) thanks for a great anchorage. The 4th in Northport was "interesting" to say the least. Charlevoix on the 5th was PERFECT.

    Seattle

    Headed to Seattle next month. My daughter has to have a medical procedure in the Cherry Hill area. Any recommendations where to stay? The hospital told her not to stay too near the hospital because of the drug seekers...

    Boarded!!

    So for the 1st time in my boating career, I got a CG Auxiliary safety check Saturday morning. I finally happened to be at the marina when they were there. My 2 fire extinguishers failed. (2004) and I had a negative battery terminal cover missing (may be Wisconsin law, not marine law). So I...

    Chicago

    Anyone on here from there? Thinking about Lollapalooza in July... Is Grant Park on S. Lakeshore Dr. with the Buckingham Fountain? One of the marinas close by better than the other?

    Lake Mead

    Anyone following this travesty? Water so low the input to the electricity generators is above water line, and now finding a body stuffed in a barrel? Anyone on here on that lake?

    Dock broke free

    I can't believe I forgot to post this last summer. I guess I was too busy enjoying the boat, and now I'm bored. Our dock broke free in a storm last summer. If you are familiar with Sturgeon Bay at all, the storm was blowing from the west. Once the storm subsided, it was the current flowing...

    Winterizing for a year

    Hypothetically, I could see us using the boat very little next summer 2023. My twins will be 17 entering their senior years, and I see lots of college visits. One daughter will be in college and oldest daughter entering her senior year of college. Has anyone ever left their boat winterized...

    Whoopi

    I rarely agree or defend anything she says, but calling the holocaust mans inhumanity against man is right. Saying it wasn't racism... I see her point from a black woman's point of view. Race in this melting pot of a country is defined by skin color. And I think, after her "apology" after...

    Davit rails

    CarpeDiem's post about adding a lift system similar to PrestoMarines brought up an idea. My dinghy is tight up to my stern locker, and I cannot get into it without deploying my crane and moving the tender. Does anyone know of a rail system instead that I could just push my tender to the stern...

    Bridge hatch repair

    I had the bridge hatch lift ram screws pull out of the hatch. What would be the best way to repair the fiberglass and replace the screws? Just fill with epoxy and after it hardens redrill for screws?

    Dreaded phone call

    I got a call yesterday morning from a dockmate that our boats were gone. Literally our entire section broke free in a storm and floated away. Thank goodness it all went North and was recovered by tugs instead of going south into the Michigan St bridge. What a shit show. 2 boats were damaged...
