    Lehman Mechanic

    I think any competent diesel mechanic could service the Lehman's injectors. If you are heading up the Chesapeake, Brian Butler (410-353-0792) is in Deale, MD. Bruce

    Portland Pudgy Compass Question

    Hi, I've acquired an older Portland Pudgy and I am puzzled by the compass mount. There is a 2.25" hole in the bow inner hull liner. The compass that came with the boat is a Silva Type 70 UN. It does not fit in the opening. According to the company literature, Pudgy is shipped with a...

    Easy Anchor Drum Puller

    I tried to test the motor before removing it but it didn't work. The gear on the motor is not a worm drive: The output does change direction at the drum gear box so there could be a worm drive there. Thanks for the input, Bruce

    Easy Anchor Drum Puller

    Hi, Does anyone have one of these? The company is no longer in business. I am rebuilding it. I thought that after removing the motor, I would be able to unspool the rode. No joy! Should it unspool manually? I don't want to spend the time and $ to find out that I have a gear box...

    Dismal Swamp - Recent

    I am planning my first trip to South Carolina via the ICW from the Chesapeake. I did a Google search of the forum for postings on the Dismal Swamp route with no recent results. Has anyone taken the route this year? If so, your observations would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce

    Extended Anchoring Out

    I am on the waiting list at Isle of Hope. Myrtle Beach Yacht Club is a good suggestion. Their by-laws permit liveaboards. I will call their dockmaster on Tuesday. Thanks for your input, Bruce

    Extended Anchoring Out

    Hi, After two years of refitting my Ta Chiao MV, I am finally ready to motor off into the sunset. However, it seems that marinas have decided that liveaboards are undesirable. My objective is to winter in South Carolina. Non of the many marinas I've contacted in SC are taking liveaboards. I...

    Power connection for AC, ideas please.

    If the sailboat unit had a water circulation pump then it also had a method for turning on the pump. How ever the "small" pump was wired needs to be connected into the Marine Air pump relay panel. If you don't have a pump relay panel then you need to add one. My Marine Air system turns the...

    Touchscreen averse

    Like you I wanted a chart plotter with keys. I purchased a Garmin 1042sv for the flybridge. When it was time to add a chart plotter for the lower helm, I opted for an Android tablet. The tablet runs AcitveCaptain which mirrors the 1042 on the flybridge. ActiveCaptain is totally touch on the...

    Duel station engine controls

    I did this with my Lehman 120. I believe that when you do this you must convert to parallel cables. I had a two lever serial throttle/gear shift control at each helm. I replaced it with a single lever control parallel system, The top mechanism combines the separate gear change cables from...

    For Sale: Xantrex Freedom X Remote 808-0817-01

    There is no advantage to having the Bluetooth version. My JavaEnegy LFP batteries, Balmar regulator, Victron DC to DC charger, Victron charger and Victron monitor are all Bluetooth capable. As I am mildly OCD I had to have the Bluetooth version. Bruce
