I need to pull a KVH cable down an already crowded chase and I know there is some sort clear lube that comes in a quart squirt bottle that you can squirt all over the cable and down the chase to ease the pulling of the new cable. I've can picture the bottle in my head, but I cannot remember the...

This, from my significant other who pulled the platform off our 2006 400 Trawler to repair the splitting fiberglass from the underside...wow...the gremlins he found in the production of this platform which will ultimately plague all 400 Trawler owners whether you know it or not - kind of like...

I am helping a friend search for his next boat. How are mid 1980’s hulls of a Marine Trader constructed - solid glass or cored? Specifically, those in the 40-foot range. Thanks.

I have a 2005 Mainship 400 Trawler and I want to replace the exhaust hoses as a preventative measure given their age. The one that baffles me is the large hose that leaves the muffler and goes out of the boat at the waterline on the starboard side near the stern. The boat is in the yard a...

Hi. I want to upgrade the 3.5 GPM Jabsco pump (that has a 40 psi built-in pressure switch) to a 5 GPM with a 60 psi built-in pressure switch. The shower water pressure is abysmal. Does anyone know what the max psi permitted on these systems in the 400 Trawler series? This is the first time...

My boat went through Hurricane Irma and survived, sort of, but the cosmetic repairs, if done by a yard, neared too close to my policy limits, and thus, GEICO (BoatUS) totaled the boat. For someone who has the time to manage the repairs or do a lot of work themselves, this is going to be a...

I have a complete set of turbo blankets for two (2) 8v92 Detroit Diesel engines (4 pieces for each engine; 8 pieces in total for both engines). Purchased in late July, 2017. They were never put on, are still in the bag, never touched an engine. Located in Miami. $980 for all...

I will never understand why a lot of marinas poo-poo liveaboards. There are so many who do not allow liveaboards. I have to say...we are your first set of security eyes. We are your first responders. Often, we are your preventative action. Thursday night, as I was about to go to bed, when...

I am doing my research for my next boat. It will be a single engine, 40-ish foot, Kadey Krogen, Nordhavn, Nordic Tug or Mainship, or something similar, a less than 20 year old boat (and preferably newer), with as little teak as possible and absolutely no teak decks. I am downsizing from a 58'...
