finally removed all the old crumbling original boot striping. slow go with the eraser wheel , but did the trick. however I plan on ending the new stripe at the upturn of the spray rail and the previous setup was following all the way to the prow. Ive hit it with acetone , special cleaner, scrub...

so as most of you probably do , I make a sport out of browsing at yachtworld.com. I cant get over how many boats show signs of sloppy attempts at "engine freshening" with spray paint. I think its so tacky and looks ecven worse with the hoses / clamps / wires all sprayed and oversprayed. does...

my 330 is painted all the way up to the bow under the spray rail. ideally I would like to keep the waterline parallel with the water the whole length as I think it makes the boat look so much better. is there a way to strip antifouling to get back to the original gelcoat color? or once painted...

would you guys think this would be enough to have the prop serviced? how much does it usually run to have a prop reconditioned / balanced? you see the nick on the upper right. I haven't noticed any undue vibration / running issues

I replaced the gauges and dash panels , but the new gauges don't have hour meter function. what can I use as a secondary meter? it doesn't have to be on the dash. looking for suggestions on install / location / type .

can somebody please tell me the proper part number / voltage / spec for an alternator on a carbureted 454 on a 1995 330da? an internet search yielded about a dozen different results. cant get to the boat for a while now. thanks

has anybody ever used one of these to take down paint to the glass? im thinking of doing this on several sessions over the winter instead of paying through the nose for bead blasting. its 5" dia

I assume the stock tube tvs are dual voltage? how does the 12v power come in? if I go with a newer NAXA dual voltage, how does the 12v side connect ? what breaker would it be on?

my co-pilot just north of bear mountain bridge

I found out the hard way my batteries are at the end of their serviceable lives. at this point im going to start making a plan for next season to upgrade the battery setup. I don't think I will need to go the route of an inverter , since I really don't use any AC functions while at anchor. my...

haul out time is around the corner , and before I put her to hibernation , I wanted to tackle the horrible boot striping. two questions- where can I source the correct size double striping? my boat is currently bottom painted under the lifting strake all the way up to the upturn of the bow...

along with my helpers. perfect day for it. cloudy and warm. had a hell of a time getting the residual adhesive ghosting off to the point where it hopefully isnt obvious. tried goof off , acetone . 3m adhesive remover. finally just kept working the acetone with a scrubber sponge and did some...

spent a night in liberty landing , next 2 days Monmouth beach nj. longest stint on the boat yet with the family.

we have been out cruising for the weekend. this morning when starting up to depart liberty landing in nyc , the port motor wouldnot stay running. started up fine, I could rev it at higher rpms, but then would sputter and die when throttled all the way down. I had it running enough to get going...

so do I have a chance of getting a slip anywhere on FI right now? ive been told by fellow boaters to go there for years and am thinking of taking the family over for the holiday. im coming from Haverstraw ny , so its a long enough trip to get some sense of adventure , but not kill ourselves. my...

ive used photobucket for years , but now they are not accessible - to me at least.. im not giving them a dime or anymore info. this site only has an option for URL. what are the options?

ive combed about every searchable thread on the subject and have come across some good stuff. I was heavily leaning towards mounting a 24" on the inside of the helm bulkhead, I wanted to go with a 32 , but I think it would interfere with that hanging locker opening up. so as I sit at the...

last couple of times ive had the boat out, there are times where when I go to neutral , the rpms climb to about 1000 or so. the throttle is all the way at the bottom stop and I cant get it to come down resulting in some hard gear engagements which make me cringe. sometimes it will not do it. the...

so the riser assembly was all stripped and wouldn't hold it open. I found a nice replacement riser assembly from taylormade and was all set to swap it out and be on my merry way. so I find out the thing is super riveted to the frame! I tried to drill out the rivets , no dice. long story short...

i have the two batteries in parallel on the port side by the head system , the other battery in the battery locker under the cockpit seat. obviously the parallel batts are the house bank , but my question is , on the battery cutoff switch , I assume the port side house bank is labeled "2"? seems...
