    Boating around a Navy combat ship

    If you pass too closely, expect a fast approaching intercepting RIB with a 50 caliber machine gun pointed at you. Don't ask me how I know!

    Lets talk Dock lights

    The glowing cleat tips is what I have. My cleats have a slight curve to them, so it would be best to put them on with some type of adhesive. I'm surprised something like this didnt exist already. The company claims that two or more elements (on the periodic table) are combined to cause the...

    Lets talk Dock lights

    Haha. I'm sure. I remember that one time i mis-judged the seawall one night in Ft. Lauderdale and fell in between the tied up boat and barnacle encrusted seaway. Emergency room visit! These lights may have helped.

    Sundancer 370 Venture - any good?

    I believe SR was the first to market with a boat of this concept. Pursuit and others quickly followed. I remember first seeing pics and pricing information and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the $470,000 price tag. I'm sure starting anywhere near this number scared away most buyers. About a...

    westerbeke troubleshoot help

    I have confirmed -/+ are correct to the battery. There is a multi-pin connection that plugs to the genny. That gets very warm and then trips the small resetable fuse. I think its 10amp. Any thoughts on where to start?

    westerbeke troubleshoot help

    I did. Seems to be ok, although the negative connection doesnt look great and I was going to replace. Could this be the issue? genny does have power to it and will briefly try to start before breaker trips

    westerbeke troubleshoot help

    I have a 2000 Westerbeke 5.0 genny. The breaker keep tripping. Here are the clues. Genny was running ok prior to me changing out all the batteries (may or may not be related) The wiring harness gets noticably hot and it trips the breaker even without trying to start the genny. Where would you...

    groundbreaking 370 venture popularity?

    My local Marine Max has had a 370 on the lot for at least 2+:huh: years. Original list was $451,907. Said now they have it at $270,295. Just thought it was interesting. Either MM overreached on the price, or these boats are not as popular as they thought. Maybe both.
