    Crazy question

    I love to hear others experiencing what I do on every trip below the cockpit. I have started moving extremely slowly every time I go into the bilge area for anything. It doesn’t help much but at least I am not as sore afterward. But self maintenance is so much cheaper.

    What to do with KVH TV1?

    Does the Starlink or other antenna you mention work on either coast? I am a coastal boater also but west coast.

    Kohler Diesel Gen Won’t Start

    Follow up question. What purpose does an alternator on a marine generator serve? I use the genset to generate 120v power to my on board battery charger which charges all the batteries. Seems a bit redundant to have the alternator charging the same battery?

    Rescued Black Lab

    So sad that people like that don’t and will never appreciate what a wonderful gift a fantastic animal like Maverick is. Truly wonderful OllieC for what you did and SHAME on the dogs owners for not appreciating.

    Our Varlie love the boat, will jump on without delay and I believe thoroughly enjoys being at sea. Not to mention enjoys meeting fish we bring up for her to meet.

    Further information, turns out my issue was corroded (due to previous owner painting everything) wiring to the solenoid. All cleaned up now and gen working fine. New question, generator alternator is hot to the touch when he set is off. Is this anything to worry about. Don’t know if it was hot...

    Kohler Diesel Gen Won’t Start

    Thanks guys, appreciate the ideas. I am starting it properly. Alternater tests OK and battery is getting charged when gen is running. I believe I have narrowed it down to starter solenoid or wiring to the starter motor and solenoid. I am going to re-terminate all the wiring and see if that...

    Engine Room Lighting Ideas

    Thanks Skybolt, I used the exact same units to replace the lights in my ER. Work great and put off a lot of light for their size.

    Yes please, Lazy Daze, link to the tube lighting. I have already swapped the four fixed inc lights and it greatly improved the bilge.

    Replace or Kill that Darn ACR Remote Controlled Spotlight

    Wow, that is much more damaged than mine was. I would not try a repair on that unit either. However, since I have redone mine I have seen some units in not too bad a shape on some of the resale sites. Next time I see one I will send you the link.

    USCG Vessel Documentation. Anyone do it?

    My boat is documented. I purchased it through a broker and he put me in touch with the documentation company during the process. I am in California and have not received anything from the state for my property taxes? Is it my responsibility to notify the state that I now have this property...
