    Free: Spendide 2000 washer/dryer

    When we bought Mango Mama there was a Splendide 2000 washer dryer mounted in the cockpit. We removed and stored it. I've never seen it operate and for some reason can't get the door catch to release. It looks okay and the SS drum looks shiny through the door. If there is anything wrong with it...

    What is the purpose of a deposit for purchase agreement?

    This was very prompt and helpful. There were a couple of considerations I would not have though about. I also found some standard purchase and sales agreement forms online which specify how the deposit is handled. One thing the standard form does not address is consideration for taking the...

    What is the purpose of a deposit for purchase agreement?

    I may be accepting an offer on Mango Mama and plan to use the BoatUs settlement service. They can hold the deposit check. What is the purpose for the deposit check? It seems boat purchases are always contingent on acceptable survey and the buyer will have an out if they get cold feet...

    Solid Surface Counter Top

    We used Silestone and don't regret it. It's great. I doubt you have enough surface are to make much difference. Mango Mama galley

    Bridge panic

    Actually, no marks or graphic is needed. With a camera on the masthead, it's easy to tell if you'll clear the bridge. As you approach, if the obstruction is rising in the video image, you'll clear; if it's not rising, you won't clear.

    purified fresh water on board

    We use an 8 stage whole house water filter for the fresh water system. Around $600 and the water is essentially pure. Besides great filtration and lead and arsenic, it removes the chlorine and other chemicals created by the chlorine reactions. whole house water filters

    From the nosy neighbor files.

    When we purchased our boat, the port and starboard running lights were on the correct sides but mounted in reverse so they were aimed aft! Another one of the many things our surveyor missed.

    An Accident Waiting to happen

    Different perspectives. You did say she was holding on to the transom and so, apparently, was aware of the potential for a fall. It seems like she was taking adequate precautions from her perspective. Did it look like they were practised and knew what they were doing or were they unsure about...

    Docking

    One added tip - To minimize prop walk, once you get her moving backwards, put the transmission in neutral. She will continue to coast backwards but you won't have prop walk to deal with.

    Thanks for your help with Mango Mama

    Happy news - we decided to keep Mango Mama. We will also be moving in March to a little house on the Homosassa River with a dock where we can keep her right out back. We're both looking forward to having her easily available for regular maintenance and quick sunset cruises. I've added a post to...

    Finger holes have been conquered!

    Some time ago I posted a question and concern about the finger holes on our cabinet doors. I wanted to find a catch that would work with them to eliminate my fear of spraining or breaking a finger if caught off balance at the wrong moment. Replacing finger hole cabinet pulls I'm announcing that...
