    Sellers Remorse?

    So it looks like a deal is closing on my boat and I feel kinda sad. I put a TON of work into her and now she's a strong healthy girl. While we were heading back to port during the sea trial I was standing at the helm completely engulfed in the pure joy of being on the water. It was was as...

    Drinking and boating don't mix

    Went down to the dock to load up the boat. Apparently a guy one dock over fell in the water last night and never got out. His body was found floating under a swim platform of a boat directly behind ours. Absolutely tragic!

    Question for you all. I was just down at the boat running a system test and the port ignition system would not respond. I triple checked all the switches and breakers. no beep no crank and definitely in neutral. finally lifted the panel and found 3 of the 4 wires completely disconnected. I...

    replacing worn out female shore power connector

    My shore power receptacles are inside a protected cabinet on my aft deck, normally I would advocate to replace the whole cable if they are directly exposed. Now I'm thinking in this situation what would be the harm in just replacing the plug? any issues I should be aware of? Thanks

    Any marina owners out there? I'm thinking about buying one

    I'm in the initial stages of looking to see what's available in my target area. I've had a few small businesses over the years however nothing like a marina. Is it worth it? I've seen some in the 1-1.5M range that interested me, another at 4.7M was beautiful but at that price it's just not...

    Dinghy & dinghy motor storage - lets see some pictures

    There are many options out there for dinghy storage however many of them require an extended swim platform. Although this would be a nice upgrade it's just not in the budget for the next few seasons. This is my solution, I love it and it works great! I've tried it with the motor on and it...

    Westerbeke 9.6 exhaust manifolds temperature

    I think my cooling system is not working properly on my generator. I've got great water flow. Just changed the raw water impeller, thermostat, "radiator" cap, zinc and cleaned it the heat exchanger. My exhaust manifolds feels too hot after about 10 minutes of run time, would burn fingers...

    Docking - back in or just pull in

    I'm new to being at a marina as my previous boat was much smaller and lived on a trailer. At my marina everyone backs in, however I've seen others just pulling in. For me even with a bow thruster I'm still not confident in my skills so just pulling in seems attractive to me. Is there a good...
