We've all seen it on TV. A gentleman of a certain age, clutches his chest in clear agony and falls unconscious to the floor. That is most certainly one of the manifestations of a cardiac event. But let me tell you a less dramatic story. I felt a bit of indigestion on Sunday. No big deal, must...

For those of you who run the Siren Marine telematics device on your boat, you may have noticed that your device has lost its effin' mind. Symptoms include, loss of NMEA connectivity, timeouts when controlling relays, loss of positional info on the home screen, etc. Siren just pushed some...

So I went out to anchor on a River this past Saturday. I arrived at my anchorage in the morning, towing a Dinghy with a "floating" painter.....not. While backing down on the anchor, I wrapped the painter around the port prop and the port engine stalled. After multiple attempts to unwrap I...

I may have finally convinced the admiral that we should attempt to escape the People's Republik of Kalifornia. Thinking of landing in N.C, and keeping the boat on the Tennessee River, as it would be less than a 3 hour drive to the boat. I would love to hear about any local knowledge for that...

Time to upgrade from my 7610xsv. It's probably a small chance, but I thought I would post here to see if someone else is ahead of me on the upgrade curve.

The title is probably not PC, but heck, I'm old, and just had to share.

What's wrong with this picture? I was poking around on YachtWorld and ran across this image. Can anyone notice something odd in terms of build quality? This is an ad for a Four Winns 288 Vista, btw. It might be interesting to poke some fun at those "other guys" and generally assert our...

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your...

There is a sad rumor going around that Tabman (aka Tom) has passed over the bar. I hope this is not true. He was always so helpful even if it meant steering people away from a Bennet product.

Sunset on the Sacramento River Delta Just had to share. Feel free to share in images, why you boat.

Hi All. I'm putting this in general since I assume my issue is not model specific. When my fresh water tank is about half full, I start noticing sputtering when I turn on a faucet. My theory is that there is a crack in the pickup tube inside the tank which gets exposed when the tank level drops...

I've seen lots of threads about tach replacement on our boats. The advise usually centers around jotting down the hours on the old tach and disclosing the offset to any future buyers. For the Sea Ray tach, one would think you could just apply power on the bench for the requisite amount of time...

I know some of you have installed a 12VDC TV so you can watch on the hook. It occurred to me, that if you are hooked to shore power or running the gen, you might prefer to have the TV run off of that instead. Our fridges are smart enough to switch over to AC when we plug in, so I figured there...

Hi All. I just sea trial'ed a 2002 310SA last week with twin 350 MPI/V-drives. I dutifully brought both engines up to 4800 RPM. So far so good. The odd thing though, is that the throttle levers were only at about half-way through their travel at max rpm. Moving the throttle further made no...
