Digital is likely a better choice with the Maretron. It's just a little bit above my Fred Flintstone tech level... BEST ! RWS dash cover photo to follow Note: beach ball shown earlier removed in favor of a dowell stick with a foot and reinforced grommet pad in the canvas

Yes. Initially I was going to buy one on line, and was really torn between Flounder Pounder and New Wire Marine, and I really liked the idea of the silver/pewter panels with the black gauges. The problem was my needs for the additional gauges (2 transmissions, generator oil pressure and...

I simply upgraded all the factory gauges to VERATRON and added gauges for trans temp and generator oil pressure & temp. At the same time I changed out the defunct systems monitor to old fashioned (like me) alarm buzzers and lights. Also added a BOREL alarm to operate independently for both...

Well, that was Friday. We worked from 7 am to 7 pm Despite my helper doing most of the heacy lifting, I was feeling more than 66 years old all weekend! Guess thats why I brought in a detailler. BEST ! RWS

Installed the CAMCO TORNADO waste tank flusher device on both tanks yesterday. Was highly recomended by FWebster on this Forum. WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGES FOLLOW - THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART Didn't figure this would take too long........ well I was wrong. Should know better than to...

yes, and forced it in, over the top of the factory seal with a finger

We do a lot of anchoring out. After witnessing a nightime anchor fail on Youtube, I decided to add an additional AXIOM screen in the fwd cabin hallway, simply for the purpose of having an audible alarm at night. Having a weather station with this would be several ounces of additional comfort...

I touched Greg with a PM MERRY CHRISTMAS at the holidays. If he's still boating and is back on here, I'd suspect he would be a lurker under another name. Just a mis-understood individual who has A LOT OF difficulty playing with others and gets his feelings hurt way too easily. On a separate...

I should add that I'm feeling my age this morning. Stiff and sore and moving slow. Once this boat is restored to 100% BASELINE, it's unlikely I have another such project left in me. Anyway, here's some photos: BEST ! RWS hull to deck joint - view from underneath

With help I completed about 80% of the job yesterday. Was both surprised and pleased to find no gaps in the deck to hull joint, with the exception of some very minor caulk gaps at both aft outside corners. Did see a couple of deck to hull screws not completely seated. After a great deal of...

As best I ca tell, the Sundancer features the Arensons - 1995-1999 The Super Sun Sport (Chicago boat) is a conventional drive. The aft cabin layout is a bit different as well. Unlikely I could get anything anywhere near what I have in my 450 BEST ! RWS

In over 30 years of messing with boats, I've never resealed a rubrail. Replaced the stainless insert on my 10 meter once, but never got to the "shoebox" hull to deck joint. Are those hull to deck gaps normal? To be expected? BEST ! RWS

Just got an opportunity to have a "helper" tomorrow. Gonna remove/reseal the rubrail, rubrail screws and the hull to deck joint. Starting aft, don't expect to get it all done in a day. Thinking about removing the stainless first, then the rubrail then 1) cleaning it all up with the...

Here's an even simpler view: visible or known to buyer before he made the offer and prior to survey - not negotiable unknown safety issues - negotiable unknown operational issues - negotiable Buyer has skin in the game - as in the costs of haul out & survet, travel etc. Seller has a...

somewhere on the internet i saw that they have piles of dash panels available, lots of exact factory match replacement canvas in all colors for your exact boat, a good selection of replacement cushions and an unlimited supply of brand new/rebuilt Sea Ray SYSTEMS MONITORS that come with a full 5...

Been here on a saltwater canal since 2002 with a boat lift. Rule #1 - do not do any galvanized lift. Only aluminum Rule # 2 - if using wood pilings, as most do - make sure they are WRAPPED, as there is an invasive species that will bore holes at the tideline/waterline over time Rule #3 -...

securing the motor to the dink, or all of it to something else?
