Just pulled it from our 45' Sea Ranger Trawler. Was working fine when we pulled it, just in the process of updating alot of our systems. $200 plus shipping takes it. I do not have manuals but I think it is pretty straight forward in connecting it and running it. Was charging our engine...

We heard about someone filling their fuel tanks with water (girlfriend thought she was doing him a favor) She put in about 500 gallons of water before they figured out what was going on. Needless to say, the boat never left the dock and the nice fuel polishing company man showed up with lots...

We have blowers in our engine room but dont really use them....we have a rotating fan in the engine room that we run all the time....just keeps the air moving all the time. We have a trawler with twin diesels. Never had a problem

I have a 34 year old trawler with 3 120v AC units on it. I can tell you that the colors going to the control unit of the AC on all 3 do not match each other in terms of color. With that in mind, best to either call someone that can trouble shoot it for you to be safe, or put a meter on them to...

We do custom Vinyl work and cut names for people to apply all the time. M/V is assumed based on your boat but like said before, if you included it to the Coast Guard they will most likely not make the assumption and just put it as you wrote it. With that in mind, it needs to appear on your...

We had that problem as well...where the boat naturally listed to one side and the fuel tanks did not return to the correct locations....Make sure your boat is nice and level and then open all the lines so that the fuel naturally settles in their tanks and adjust any counter balance weights to...

Go with an AC fridge. More choices, more sizes, and yes cost. We dock in a marina and live aboard but when we are out, our gen is running all the time (mostly for our AC's, we live in Florida so always freaking hot) but the fridge too. Prior owner had a crappy, but functional fridge that we...

Replace the pump and be done with it...save your money for something more important that will eventually come up...my 2 cents

We have a 45ft Sea Ranger Trawler and we want to change out the original teak grid flooring in the bathrooms and showers. Don't like the look and don't like that we have to pick them up all the time to clean under them. Also starting to become water logged. Would like something that is low...

My Wife and I own a 1984 45' Sea Ranger. My understanding is that no 2 are alike and they were custom configured. I am still trying to find a couple of components for the boat that seem impossible to find like the side vents. Best of luck with the boat as my wife and I love ours... and if...

I had the same thing happen to me about 6 months ago. It turned out it was a leaking hose where the clamp was....very very small lead...only a few drops or so at a time. I would go around and check all of your clamps and change any that need changing...good luck

I hear ya on that one...our trawler is running at 8-9 knots at best so plenty of time...typically, to evaluate the situation....

My wife and I have been living on our 45' trawler for 2 years now...We downsized from our 3600 square foot home down 4x until we got to an 800 sqft condo to deal with the boat. We actually have alot more room on the boat and storage. It still took a bit getting use to but well worth it...cant...

My wife and I usually go thru a few change of clothes when we work on the outside of the boat during the high heat months...if we absolutely have to...which most of the time we just deal with inside projects

I would make sure you wash everything down with Salt Away...just as a precaution...just watch any electrical lines. Sounds scary but I do a check everytime before we go out...and replace any clamps that just dont look like they are gonna last.

My wife and I live on a 45' Sea Ranger Trawler. Everyone thinks its 50' plus but its not. 15.5' beam. 2 Cabins and an office. Plenty of room but if I had the chance when we bought her, I would have gone bigger now that I am on the Crazy Monkey2. Next boat will be 55' but for now, this is...

Do it...best decision my wife and I have ever made. Going on 2 years and love every minute of it. Just be prepared and you should be fine! Good luck

Woke up Sunday morning at our anchorage out with these clowns about 20 feet from our boat in their 20 feet deck boat eating chips, with plenty of water all around us. I just dont get it sometimes...I debated walking around the aft and fly bridge naked to see if I could get them to move...by the...

We have a bimini and side panels. Pretty much enclosed but need to treat the Sunbrella again as on a heavy rain it drips. Aside from that we have a cover over the helm electronics. All seems to be protected fairly well.

Too bad...I just replace my old Splendid and removed the pump for some reason....thought someone may need it someday. Left it in my shop and wife tossed it thinking it was trash...that was about 6 months ago....sorry....you could try craigslist...they may be able to help or go online and search...

It boils down to cost and what you want to do when you are off the boat. We are in Palmetto, the marina is beautiful and one of the safest in Florida from weather. But not much around outside and since we work M-F it doesnt make much difference. Cost is great too. I would love to live down...

My wife and I live aboard a 45' Sea Ranger Trawler. Its pretty roomy with a walk around Aft cabin Queen size bed. 2 Heads, full kitchen, washing machine, office, Aft deck lounge and full size fly bridge. We can get away from each other when we have to. Oh and we live with our little dog...

Have a washing machine and wife on board....they both seem to get the job done

We tend to have ants...first they are there....then they dissappear completely and do not see them for a few months...

My boat would be pretty dry if it wasnt for my constant use of our AC units in Florida which dump condensation down in the bilge....I was thinking of changing that to a sump but too damn hot right now...maybe in the Fall. Anyways...my bilge is in a location as to be very difficult to get to so...
