Bert, I have not forgotten your charts for sale. I have been traveling and dealing with other things. I’ll get in touch in a week or so, now that you are back in Toronto. Greg W. Cell 502-640-9900

Hi Peggy. Im new to VF and 16 months into use, so far, so good. Thru the years I’ve rebuilt several MSD’s on Various boats, so I’m not averse to, someday, having to make a deep dive in to my VF. I’d love to have your VacuFlush 101 paper. Send to Roustabout1952@gmail.com. Thanks in advance, Greg

I agree with Steve K. A surveyor should not tell a buyer not to buy. Part of the surveyor’s job is to observe, report and make recommendations that deficiencies be corrected. Buyer decides yea or nay based on what info he or she has, and part of that knowledge comes from a survey. I did many...

I have a boat of the same year and model with a custom cherry cabinet similar to the one you picture, just bit larger. It extends forward of the in-floor filter grate. The carpenter who built the cabinet for Previous Owner cut the cabin sole over the AC unit "tub", thus allowing easier...

One of my brackets broke when I was hamfisted and tried to force the stuck window open. PO said he never opened it. Am looking for a replacement and appreciate the Amazon link. The next time I try to open it I will try heating the perimeter weather seal to see if that coaxes it open.

My advice to anyone replacing a fuel tank in a boat with a new metal tank is to make sure the tank builder can build it to ABYC recommended standards and certify that it is so built with a label stating: “Manufacturer: Model: Date: Gauge: Capacity: Alloy: Maximum...

Do you have any charts left? How many. Can you give a discount for quantity?

I'm not a Safe Harbor member, but I am a Looper. I was recently at Aqua Yacht Harbor, Iuka, Mississippi (it is where Tennessee River joins Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway) for haul out and bottom job (along with a few small maintenance items). At the time I arrived there was a glut of southbound...

I got a slip for a month at Joe Wheeler State Park Marina this week for $400 for my 38 foot trawler. It does not look like the kind of place where you could park vehicles and tool trailer nearby the slip boat to work on it there.

I saw a YouTube today (Living For Sail) where the poster was re-doing the bulkhead of chain locker on sailboat. The new bulkhead had a plastic through-hull type fitting through the bulkhead with a hose connected on the aft side leading to a sump (instead of into the bilge), thereby isolating...

Here is where I buy mine: info@redzincs.com or 508-925-0399.

The 2005 Mainship 34 I bought has two Garmin GC 200 wired cameras. One camera is in machinery space, one is on mast facing aft. They work flawlessly, never had a problem. I'd like to mount a camera under the anchor roller platform so I can view anchor chain angle when weighing anchor. That...

Soldboats is also available to marine surveyors who pay for the subscription. Try contacting a surveyor and ask if he or she will, for a reasonable fee, do a search for you. It's best to "bracket" your search. I surveyed for 43 years. When I subscribed to SB and was doing an appraisal on a...

For the last 12 years I have winterized with a similar rig: square 5-gallon bucket with bulkhead fitting and valve, 6' or so of garden hose to Groco strainer. (A hose typically used for your home washing machine-to-wall faucet, i.e, female hose fittings at both ends is quite suitable.) I have...

I have a 2006 Mainship 34. I obtained a replacement engine room air vent assembly from Dick Bramer Engineering/Sales Boat Lovers Surplus & Fabrication LLC 603 Cidco Road Cocoa, Florida 32926 321-877-1994 He may have other Mainship parts. It worth a call. I found him by using Trawler Forum...

I have taken my Isotherm 130 out of my galley base cabinet few times to make repairs. The fridge needed a new thermostat. Isotherm was helpful in explaining how to access the old thermostat and install the new one. The Isotherm manual is very specific about air circulation. Cut holes in sides...

I just retired after 43 years as a marine surveyor. I did a lot of damage surveys on pleasure craft. Among them were jobs on boats that had freeze damage. Sometimes the engine freezes and cracks a casting. Expensive to repair. Sometimes the strainers freeze, expand, crack and sink the boat...

The Yacht designs gateway simply plugged into Cummins harness where there was an unused connection. The other end plugged into Garmin backbone. I had to buy a Tee fitting. Once I had it all powered up, the engine data appeared on the MFD. No splicing, no programming needed. I do not know...

My engine is a a 2006 QSB5.9 380 HO in a 2006 Mainship 34. The engine was an electronic engine from the get-go. My Smart Craft display was going dim, so I looked for a work-around. With the help of Panbo.com (the marine electronics hub) I was able to buy and install the Yacht Devices Engine...

Professional Boatbuilder Magazine has their archives available. I Attempted to attach a screenshot of the index showing the various articles that describe blocking and support of vessels ashore. Since I couldn’t attach my screenshot, I recommend you go to their website, click on archives and...
