A True Classic...The Old Pilot
A gray-headed old man shuffled into a downtown bar holding his head up high. His hands shook as he took the "Piano Player Wanted" sign from the window and handed it to the bartender.
“I'd like to apply for the job," he said. "I was a Navy Sea Wolf pilot, flying...
Mine are 1 1/2" on my 2002, and would expect yours to be the same. I buy them in sets of two, for an extra on hand. I use BoatZincs.com and the shaft anodes are item X-7AL, the Rudder / Trim Tab are R-4A (5" Diam) and the Hull is
DP-621A. $191.96 for my last order in November.

There was a young lady from Knizes
Who had breasts of two different sizes.
One was so small you could hardly see it at all,
The other so large it won prizes.
That's a fine real life story JayhawkCurtis. There are many more examples. It's a product that "works" for many seniors, especially those who have limited other assets, or do not feel obligated to leave assets to heirs.
Current SR is "Quest", representative of what we expect to do with her, traveling the SF Delta. Secondary was the travels and trials we went through to find and acquire her. Previous names on our vessels were "Liberty" and "Crannoch." Crannoch is a man-made island in Scotland, created to...

In the instance where I was "preparing" the non-running shaft issue was raised. Another SR pal wondered if I had the "crossover" shaft lubrication system that his SR has. When the tech repaired my issue (leaking water pump) he confirmed that my 360 does have the crossover. I will check the...
Hmmm, mrsrobinson, can you describe what that one-engine limp back was like? How did you compensate for the off center propulsion, and maneuvering into your slip for example. RPM?
Thanks!
Nice post NorCal, thanks. I concur with other posters, and will add a couple thoughts. First, I am a bit older than you, so have been envisioning that moment in my boating career. In anticipation, I have noticed a boating club membership that might be a worthy alternative for you, with...
Color blind myself, it kept me from enrolling in air pilot training. Traveling with my wife, I often ask her to determine traffic lights ahead of us, and virtually all lights at sea appear white to me. Recent conversations with my eye doc advise that corrective color lenses are snake oil at...
For what it's worth, in my searching, through Sea Trials, negotiations, and Full Boat Surveys -- I learned one shortcut to save some time and money. My first survey after Sea Trial and negotiations will always be the engines and transmissions! Less cost, saves time, and conclusive for a pass /...
Whilst you're waiting, you would benefit from a boating safety course, which the Insurance company would acknowledge. And youtube videos were helpful to me as I too had not owned a twin engine vessel.
Congratulations!
