    POP goes the water pump!

    Ok, here is another lesson I must learn. I was at the dock with my wife and kids and they wanted to shower. I often get to hear about how the water pressure is so low from all of them so I thought I would try to hook up to the water inlet on the dock. Turned on the water and all was...

    Attaching new anchor line and chain with a Windlass........

    After wrenching and a small amount of cussing, I finally got my new anchor line and chain installed on my windlass. Took my anchor to a welding shop and had it straightened (cause I am cheap) and it looks as good as new and for only $20! The hardest part of this project was attaching the new...

    A Bright Burning Glowing Orb........

    There it was just on the horizon, a glowing orb that I seem to remember some call the Sun. I saw it Sunday and could not resist waking all my grumpy and angry children to drag them out on the lake! Just wondering if anyone else made it out? What a nice day it turned out to be.

    NEW Addition to the 340.......!

    Well I have added my first non boating accessory to my boat. I had this mat made for the swim platform while we are at the dock. I cant stand how the swim platform gets dirty and all that transfers up into the cabin. No matter how much I enforce the no shoes policy. My wife thinks I have lost...

    Surveyor recommendation for GA or SC??

    The wife and I may be looking for a step up. Anyone use a Surveyor they liked? The NAMS site only lists 1 in north GA. We may possibly need one near Charleston, SC also. Have not decided on which boat we like better. Any help would be great!:thumbsup:

    Steering Wheel Crack??

    Just picked up my boat from winterizing and I noticed there is a little hairline crack in the steering wheel and the finish looks like it is seperating a little. I know there was a vendor on here at one time that refurbished instrument panels, but is there one for the wood grained steering...

    Last weekend I am out and I get an alarm with a Check Engine notification and she wont idle. So I limp back to the dock and tie up.
