i.e. so the iPad would appear pretty much as a typical Garmin multifunction display that is never removed and resistant to the elements ?

Happened sometime during the week, one leg of 220 destroyed/melted at the boat connector (i.e. 110 house current works but 220 A/C units don't). Connection at boat was good...twisted and locked. No hints of trouble otherwise, looks perfect at dock pedestal end, no breakers tripped anywhere, A/C...

For example I have a "Tide Watch" (presumably the company name) from the mid 90's that fits the bill. As the latest programmable date was 1999, these watches became unavailable as the year 2000 approached...an actual casualty of Y2K ! Regardless, as long as one programs in a year that is...

At average speed of 5 knots (this, not in my regular boat). No generator in this one so I envision staying at perhaps Isle of Hope first night...but where to stay on next round that has a 30 amp power connection ? Also, does Cumberland Island have a day dock large enough for a 32 footer that...

Cruisair unit (8K BTU as I recall) compressor went out over 2 years ago. Rather than replace just the compressor as I had done successfully on another Crusair unit, I decided this time to replace the whole condenser assembly with a new Ocean Breeze equivalent. I was assured by Joe what they...

the shore power was disconnected. So figure maybe batteries getting weak, reconnect shore power and it's starter still does nothing. Something similar happened years ago to the same engine (port) and the problem was major corrosion at the crimped fitting of the big red positive wire that...

1993 vintage MDL4 model. Main problem was the "on/off" red rocker would trip the instant I positioned the black rocker in either preheat or start modes. I finally traced the problem to a short in the start relay solenoid. (part 307-1031) Replaced that, and now preheat and starter work but...

This for dual 50 amp Cablemaster (is 2 cords) where most of the cord is still inside and appears as new but the dozen feet or so on the outside looks bad enough that no amount of cleaning does much good plus the yellow itself is faded a bit I've used vinyl upholstery paint on car seats...

Looks like this-...

I ask as I had one with a broken belolw.....put new bellows in and it still does nothing ! Worked perfectly for year before the bellow broke, but now even with new bellows, the pump motor does nothing. And the motor is good....I temporarily switched wiring with another unit and it works. So...

Model 20MDL4B, vintage 1993. Do you pump old coolant out with self priming electric pump via tube on the pump placed in the top of the radiator ....or..? If pump, any suggestions for a pump I might find locally ?

1993 vintage Onan 20 kw has developed a short in the start system such that pressing start /preheat rocker switch will instantly trip the red beaker in either mode . Anyone else ever have this problem and if so what did you find for cause ? I've already examined inside the main electrical box...

This is probably 1993 vintage stuff, but the white plastic bellows broke on the most used pump (out of 4 heads) I see where some sellers have the SV model bellows kit but not the SW...are they the same ? Also, can one buy just the bellows and not the bellows assembled on the pump rod, or is...

Part of my bow rail was replaced due to hurricane damage but the yard never did replace the chain plug and ignored all my emails regarding same. Are these things non existent these days ? I could make one but rather buy one already made. The tubing is 1 3/8" ID and aprox 1 5/8" OD See last...

To be filed in the Incredibly Stupid Problem Department file.... 2006 Avon Seasport 360DL..... I have managed to loose both of the screw in transom drain plugs while the dinghy was sitting on the flybridge of the yacht for a year. I don't think they fell out but I vaguely recall purposely...

I'm moving the boat to a marina that has no Wi-Fi or cable TV. The boat came with a satellite dome and receiver, but I've never used it and know nothing about it. The sat dome is an Intellian HD but the control seems to be a KVH TracVision 4. Is there any way this can be used for sat...

i.e.a setup almost like a shop vac where the pickup could be at the absolute lowest point and pump out almost every drop of water as the water seeped in... instead of waiting for 2 or 3 inches to accumulate before the float switch is tripped...and even then, the pump doesn't mount low enough to...

For example, if my 65 footer ran into trouble to the point of needing towing, halfway from Charleston, SC to Hilton Head Island, SC.....would Boat/US cover the towing all the way to the destination marina on Hilton Head...or only tow it to the nearest marina....which would be in Beaufort where...

I ask as during hurricane Matthew, which was only category one with winds up to 60 mph, the boat got away as most of the 1" lines broke, and best I could tell not due to chafing...just flat out tension. No idea what the lines were exactly as they came with the boat... "soft " texture and...

www.mooringring.com There is one other that seems heavier duty but I need one that is hinged so I can affix it to one of the pilings that is covered at the top by the pier. And true this is not exactly "anchors and anchoring" but didn't know which other forum to use for this.

Full size barnacles...a mess...on two 65 foot boat props that had no bottom paint.... Anyone with similar situation tried an oscillating chisel, like a Fein Multicaster with chisel attachment, for example ? A pneumatic chisel would shave 'em off like getting a haircut but got no source of...

This on 1993 vintage Detroit 12V71TA's. Just curious as a recent engine survey reported condition "good but some scuffing" on a few cylinders and I'd like to go back with my own scope and see this with my own eyes....and it would be helpful to know if cylinder no. 1 is the one closest the...

1993 vintage with Cummins 4cyl diesel, 1,600 hours. This is generator 1. Ran perfectly always until it sat for months on the hard, now back in the water, it ran for 20 seconds and hasn't run since. Figured it had to be fuel and prime related, but now it's getting excellent fuel flow, turns...

This would be ablative type if it matters. I know this sounds paranoid but I'm stuck in a yard now where my trust in them doing what I actually request them to do is quite shaken (long story) but I can't just take off for another yard as the boat is too large to be hauled out by anyone else...

I hope these are supposed to be more powerful than this ! This direct to gallon of diesel. Generator is Onan 4ml. 1993 year 20Kw. So is this dribble flow normal or weak ? If normal, then I have blockage at pickup tube because *nothing* will come out when the hoses are connected properly and...
