Folks, (Assuming my insurance issue is resolved ) I will be storing the boat in the water in NE Florida from now til December 1. Read from past posts to close the windows and have a dehumidifier discharge into galley sink. Do I also have to bag up linens, or is the dehumidifier enough...

I'm in Jacksonville wanting to keep the boat here over the summer. Insurance company say I would have to be hauled out in a named storm. I'm looking for a marina I can contract with to haul my 40 footer in case of a hurricane. Nearest I could find after a brief internet search was Brunswick...

If you have matching lights, you may need parts. All lights need new innards. The two larger pieces are the same light, just front and back. They are free if you send me me money for the appropriate sized priority mail box and a mailing label. I own them. They are in Jacksonville. Offer...

I tried searching and got a headache. Recommendations please on a hose to go from dock faucet to the boat. I pulled out last years and it is stiff and sticky.

So first of all... It was 100 percent my fault and no one got seriously injured. So I have a boat that damage exceeds the insurance amount. If I put ion a claim for a total loss the insurance company will own my boat and I will have to buy back the salvage value. This only hurts a little...

I got hit a couple of days ago while tied to a dock. Damage is enough to require an accident report. All I have on the boat that hit me is name and hail. (Also that it was a white sloop about 46 feet long) So I assume documented vessel. Any way to find out more?

I have a windows 10 operating system running on my laptop with OpenCPN. I select ‘course-up’ along with ‘auto-follow’ for the display. The screen and orientation keep jumping around making this program very difficult to use. Anyone else with this issue?

I know this has been covered before, but I have pushed the plunger on top of my filter about 1500 times and I didn't get my nap today, so I just have to ask. I have a Racor filter, a fuel lift pump, and a oil filter housing on the block with a plunger on the top and a bleed valve. The Racor...

Is this the end? ( if so, bad timing as I am headed north next week) tried turning on and off, but no dice I was looking forward to using the radar.

My freezer has gone out. Well not completely, but 30 isn't cold ehough. I have a Isotherm C195 unit, so its a fridge/freezer combo. Taking it out and sending to the shop means no refrigeration till it comes back. Not really an option as I live on the boat. I was told we can't go north (...

What is a good adhesive for my aluminum handle on my sliding glass window?

Folks, My 120v block heater is not heating. I don't want an oil pan heater of a 100 watt bulb. I want a new 120v block heater the kind that looks like a miniature water tank. The last one died and I see them at Amazon for less that 100 bucks. Are these just junk? Wondered if there are...

I got a new shaft seal bellows installed in 2017 when the boat was finally commissioned. Now I have a steady drip. I removed the two clamps at the suspect end one at a time and reinstalled making sure they were on tightly. I think this is the only below waterline "rubber hose" connection...

I'm wondering if this ever had a light (can't read in dark) unlike the other gauges. I don't want to stress over figuring how to replace the bulb if it doesn't have one. thanks in advance. John

Is this a magic bullet? Can I ( or should I) just hook this up to my 110 system? https://us.ecoflow.com/products/delta-pro-portable-power-station#product-spec Plug and play?

I worked on a lobster boat back in 1974. It was a wooden 26 footer built by John McCoo in Mattapoisett. Every couple of days we would pump out the boat with a hand pump. It was just like the one in the picture. So this is not really something that is of use to me or any Trawler folks as it is...

So I have 3 radios. The “newer” one is from 2002 and has .DSC capability which was not utilized (no location device) hooked up when I bought the boat. I hooked it up to my Vesper 8000 and it worked fine for a year or so. Now no location readout on the display. I checked all the connections...

For SaIe 8hp Yamaha Enduro 8D I own it. It is located in Marion, Massachusetts. The price is 800. I have owned this since 2014 and have only run it when i change the impellor and to dewinterize. P.O. do not use after 2008 as far as i can determine. Have Owners manual, repairs parts kit...

My washdown pump is not working. With the breaker on, I have good voltage to the pump. On a whim, I checked the voltage with the breaker off: - 0.4v I checked the voltage at the breaker post; turned off: 0.0-0.1 v Starting to chase the wires... anything else I should be looking for?

160 feet of 3/8” anchor chain. I bought this used and am selling as it did not fit my windlass gypsy. Chain is located in Jacksonville for the next week or so, then coming with me on a one month ride to Fairhaven, Massachusetts. $200.

During my issues with the wrong type chain, non-functional washdown pump, missing foot switch cover, and blown windlass fuse, I noticed a little rust on the windlass motor. Additionally, I have been unhappy for a while that the mahogany mounting plate was fastened by carriage bolts on the port...

I have a RayMarine i40. It is the depth only version, the E70064. The readout has gone wacky. (see photo below) I have tried the "press the action and down buttons for 12 seconds" to start the factory reset process. Nothing. Ideas?

I just got a new anchor chain and the galvanized coating looks, well sickly. I wondered if there was a good galvanized coating that is worthwhile to paint over what I have. Either spray or paint with brush. I did the cheap rust oleum cold galvanized spray on the anchor, but I notice they have...

For some reason my AIS antenna is broken. Not my fault. It was more of a general purpose antenna and I would get these notices in my Vesper XB-8000 setup that my antenna choice wasn't the best. Well it's gone now. For a replacement I just got a Shakespeare 396-1-AIS antenna. It comes with a...

While I am waiting for cables to create a NEMA2000/SeatalkNG network, I got this today. Suggestions?
