    LED nav lights

    I have a 2011 280 with Attwood 3800 series deck mount nav lights. I'd like to replace them with LED lights. Does anyone know if Attwood has an LED equivalent? I think the Lightarmor from Attwood look close, but I'm not sure if they are exactly the same footprint. Thanks

    A/C issues

    I finally got this thing fixed. I figured I might as well post here so someone may be helped from my experience. My water pump was bad. It was starting up and working for awhile, then would shut down and cause the high pressure situation. So, new water pump and a recharge on the A/C (not really...

    Nice! They look great. I do have a gauge question. I saw where you can buy an actual analog speedometer that is gps, so it gives you the real speed. I hate my speedometer, which reads that I'm going 5mph when I'm actually doing 35mph. I've looked, but can't find any that are my gauge style...

    I've used one of those extension cord reels on my boat for years now and it works like a charm.

    My original post was just some pictures. You are the one who is trying to ruin the thread.

    \ I've got to be honest with you. I just came in here to post some nice pictures and you have done your best to turn this into some kind of bullshit political thing. I don't appreciate it.

    FFS...I didn't mean this to become a political post, but some people apparently can't help themselves. Is Chicago perfect? Absolutely not. Do they need to crack down on crime in some areas? Yes. Do they need more jobs in some areas. Definitely. I still love the city and I've never felt in any...

    It has been really clear across the lake lately. It always amazes me on those days when I can see the city clearly.

    And here we go... I work in that city and it's pretty nice. Yes, there are some problems on the south side and there are problems like other big cities, but overall it's a great place.

    A/C issues

    This marina is pretty dirty and there is a lot of gunk in the water. I also have an algae line on the side of my boat, so I would suspect it's algae. I put a bromine tablet in the strainer this morning (bought hot tub bromine tables from Walmart) and everything seems to be working well so far...

    A/C issues

    I purchased the boat in Milwaukee. I think the boat has been there its whole life. There was definitely a slimy substance in the strainer when i cleaned it out, but there was a good flow through the system before and after I did the cleaning and blowout of the system with the hose. It seems to...

    I wonder if the bromine tablets would get rid of the slime? I'm not ready to give up and call in the pros just yet!

    Flooring to replace carpet in cockpit

    I'm looking at their stuff as well. I'll have way less to cover in my little boat and am just planning to do the cockpit area, not the cabin.

    A/C issues

    I actually boat on the far south end of the lake out of Portage. I'm not sure if that would make any difference, but there was some slimy stuff in the strainer which I rinsed out. I also just tried the garden hose adapter trick on the line coming out of the pump and into the system. I turned it...

    This is my water strainer. I guess I can just pull those hose clamps off and hook up to the dock line.
