    Anastasia III wins top award!

    Hull #99, 1986 Krogen 42 Anastasia III won the Jack Campbell Memorial Trophy for best family boat in the 52nd annual Clear Lake Christmas Boat Lane Parade this last Saturday. It was a windy night, gusts up to 25 out of the North, but the water stayed deep enough and the parade went very...

    Copper plated props?

    Has anyone tried copper plating a bronze or other metal prop? I'm thinking this might be a long lasting anti-fouling treatment, but don't know about the corrosion potential. But then if we're painting props with a copper based anti-fouling coating...

    UPS on cheap inverter = no

    Well, I HAD a good idea. I got a little UPS to run my navigation computer off of, from a little 12V inverter. The idea was that I could turn on the computer THEN the engine without crapping out the computer. If I do that now, the voltage drop kills the computer because the inverter stops putting...

    Track-It TV mount wearing out?

    I've had one of these for maybe 10 years, since it was Follow-Me TV. It's been very windy this week, and I was having to re-adjust the aim every day. The mount was a bit loose, so I tightened it up and that helped. However, I noticed later that the unit seems to have a lot of "play" in it, with...

    Durable marina entrance markers?

    Our marina has put up daymarks on telephone poles as entrance markers, but they just keep getting knocked down. They have used single poles and clusters of 3; both get the same results. Any ideas on something a little more resistant to boat hits?

    RabbitTV for the computer?

    Has anyone tried this out? For $10 a year, it claims to bring all kinds of TV channels to your computer. Would be a helluva lot cheaper than satellite if it worked. http://www.rabbittv.com

    Foamy Water?

    Recently my water comes out foamy and smelling a bit like peppermint. The water pressure at the hose bib is 65 psi and my regulator drops it to 45 psi. This seemed to start when I put in a new water hose. It's the white potable water hose from West Marine. They recently increased the water...

    Coastal Explorer charts?

    I'm thinking about switching from Nobletec to CE. I downloaded the trial version and like it, but I can't seem to get a chart that compares to what I'm used to in Nobletec. They do have free sample charts, but nothing has the detail that the NT charts have. For those of you who use it, I assume...
