Not to much information but it sounds like someone was trying to put his 30' boat on a trailer all by himself. There was a good breeze today and I didn't even go out on the water.
Hopefully more info will...
Does anyone use a small electric dehumidifier in the winter time in their boat.
I'd like to find one with a tube/hose for discharge so I can place it on the counter or in my sink and allow the condensate to drain freely.
I would probably also use this when I'm away from the boat during the...
Fell off tube and the driver came back around and possibly hit him while in the water.

Sad to hear. Anyone know more about the cause?

I've been kicking around the idea of getting and inflatable life preserver to wear around the dock, while fueling and doing other things in and around the boat while out and about.
Pricing seems to be all over the place and one thing I noticed today is some or most that I've seen are not Coast...
Not only did I have to endure Atlanta traffic Friday afternoon but I had to dodge this ship taking up a few lanes.
Looking kind of tattered. Wonder where it was coming from and going to.
Anyone in here?
Do tell.
Why isn't the CSR forum a secured forum?
I some times get a "this web site is not secure" warning and in the web browser area it always shows "Not Secure".
Is it a setting on my end or yours?
So I was replacing some items on my generator today and when it came to change out the zinc it looks like the old one separated from the threaded cap.
How have others gotten the old zinc out?
I removed the heat exchanger to get a better look at the offending part. :(
I'm going to do some...
In the 2 years I've owned this 1998 290 DA I've never really ran the generator for any length of time. Just enough time to do a Keurig coffee or use the microwave for a few minutes.
So I went out for a brief swim and I decided to run the generator and keep the AC running.
About 15 minutes...
It's pretty funny to watch boaters toss their anchors thinking they are going to better their anchoring ability.
I wonder how many shoulders are injured during the summer boating months.
I almost want to have a dry erase board so I can give them a score after the toss for technique.
:D
I see we got a new Marine fuel additive on the block from Chevron.

Swim platform or Bow?
Go. ;)

Portable generators on a boat is a bad combination:

Just wanted to post this up.
I went to my marina parts counter and asked for a vent filter and when they came back with a price of $130 I was like no thanks. I was thinking $60-70 from the parts counter would be an acceptable price but not $130. So the search was on.
I tried the DIY carbon...
Hi Folks.
Maintenance time is coming up quickly and I need some honest feed back.
My outdrives are functioning great but look like a shark has gnawed on them and I broke a cavitation plate on one of them. No leaks, no whine and they shift pretty good. In looking at 7 years of maintenance...
Had a nice weekend in Tennessee to exercise the twins.
I have the front plastic in place and it was so comfortable to cruise for about an hour on plane just zipping along.

Good morning,
I have a question about restoring isinglass windows.
I bought my 98 290 SD last year and I knew it came with various covers and plastic pieces but didn't even unpack them until yesterday. Well, I installed the front window pieces yesterday and as you figured being 20 years old...
