Here is a very recent bathymetric survey of the north channel of the Kent Narrows from the Maryland DNR. This is part of the work being done to support a re-dredging project for next year. It's a little blurry, but bottom line, blue is good and red/yellow are bad. The actual channel cuts right...

Let me just say this- if you find yourself in the Atlantic with a busted stainless cooling pipe on your QSM-11, you call Rusty. Then later, on Thanksgiving, when you realize that all the marinas are closed, who better to hook you up with a slip in his hometown than Rusty. Need fuel al 6AM on...

I've got my eye on a 560DB. I'm not crazy enough to own two boats. That's where you come in. :smt001 Check out the website I made for the sale of my current boat here. You really need to see this model to appreciate it.

Hi all. Bow thruster is dead. It keeps blowing the 7.5A fuse circled below. Any further troubleshooting ideas appreciated.

WARNING: There is a lot of bitching and moaning in this post. If you don't like bitching an moaning. Do not read this. So my 13 year old QSM-11s crapped out. Bad turbo on the port engine. Ok, no big deal, things don't last forever. Turns out the turbo failure was related to a crack in the...

One thing I've learned about this group, is that y'all like to look at, touch and discuss boats of all kinds. I know this is a Sea Ray group, but I also know that a passion for boats cuts across brands. Friends of mine run the Prestige dealership in the mid Atlantic region and they are hosting...

So there's an excerpt from the BoatTest review of the 510FLY, suggesting that the 510 "signals Sea Ray's entry into large motor yachts". Um… hello? Can you say 58DB, 56DB, 52DB, 61DA and/or the entire SSS series? Hell, I even saw a super clean mid-90's 650MY the other day. Either Boat Test...

Interests along the eastern US may want to take a gander at this and keep an eye on it: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents

We all, myself included, ***** enough about companies when they do wrong so it's always nice to provide equal air time when they do right. I bought a new ShurFlo fresh water pump last summer. I always suspected that it wasn't quite right and it bit the farm last weekend. I NEEDED fresh water, so...

These are the ones with the the THREADED pin in the middle of the hub, as opposed to the smooth pin. Westerbeke part # 34440. I have two. One is new in bag and the other was out of the bag long enough for me to realize that I needed the version with the SMOOTH pin, so it out of the bag but has...

If this has been discussed here before I apologize... One of my presents to myself this year was a Sling Box. If you've not heard of it, it is a doodad that you connect to your cable box and internet at home. Then you can literally "watch" your home TV/DVR over the internet from anywhere on a...

So I changed the oil on the mains and genny and finally winterized yesterday in advance of the 4 degree temps this morning. I had been using a bilge heater, but didn't trust it for this cold snap, plus I needed to change the oil anyway. So these "winterizing caps" I made for the Groco's really...

Anybody going to this love fest? It's a pretty good example of tomfoolery and nonsense... both of which I fully approve.

By the way, if any of you 480MY owners ever need to remove the microwave, I can tell you that you need to remove the fridge first to access the screws holding down the microwave. Lovely, but the fridge is pretty easy to move as long as you put a towel on the galley floor to keep it from...

OK, so the holding tank indicator on my 480MY is always telling me that the tank is both "Empty" and "1/2" and never "Full". We all know what that means... clogged floats. Easy enough, short of the sewage smell, right? So I go to look for the sender. Hmmmmm. Scratch this.... scratch that...

I have a pair of CUSTOM 75' 30 Amp power cords by Defender/Marinco. Used one season. Yellow. If you have a long run from your pedestal to the dock, this is a better solution than stringing a 50' and a 25' together. Were ~ $350 new. Sold as a pair for $100. Buyer pays shipping. They aren't...

So... I sold Festivus, my 2007 44DB last fall. I didn't really want to, but let's just say that "marital difficulties" were a major contributing factor. Nonetheless, the search for the next boat began before the ink was dry on the contract. Criteria: Under 50' (not a MUST, but I really wanted...

Is it a good day trip? Now that I'm closer, Havre de Grace seems like a reasonable destination. Is there anywhere to tie up for a few hours, or is just a marina thing? Restaurants? Bars? Any/all ideas welcome.

I saw an old, beat-up boat "For Sale" at a boat yard. It was a ~30 year old 20-something foot Baylinerish boat that had no outdrives on it (it had two holes though!) and had been left out in the open all winter without even as much as a piece of canvas on it. Needless to say it was in pretty...
