I bought a 34 CHB looks like marine trader but sold as CHB. Getting my vessel undocumented has been anything but joy. Finally get that done go to the title agency for title and registration. The first 3 digits of my HIN are BAY************. Which comes up as a Baybuilt. Anyone else ever have...

Psneeld: I can get the threads through the rudder but where the taper starts is where the shaft stops. The hole dia is large enough just the angle of the dangle don’t line up.

I’m rebuilding the PSS dripless, I have the everything loose flange removed from shaft, all dripless items loose, prop off, cutlass flange off and new cutlass on its way. Problem is I can’t get the shaft out, I was told that the shaft would go through the “hole” in the rudder but it doesn’t! Do...

previous owner of my boat installed a simple little aquarium airpump into the top of the tank. he said if the tank starts to smell any just plug that little bugger in for an hour or two and then unplug it (120v). Sure as Sh*t it must apply just enough positive pressure to vent out the tank and...

Thank you Psneeld! That was my thoughts also. I honestly am new to trawlers, experienced power boater but new too trawlers and was wondering if there was some magical quality I wasn’t aware of.

So for the most part many of the trawlers from the 1970-1990s look nearly identical too me. But there’s a vastly different price range between makes. Which still look pretty darn similar inside and out with obvious subtle changes. The common answer is “build quality”. So what exactly is...

I just bought a all in one heater tank and heater. My boat has a heat/Ac unit in it but it sure does me no good when the boat is on the hard. This winter i plan on doing some boat repairs so i did a temporary install that half resembles a nasa scene and some well rigged scene. The boat is...

thank you all for your input. After getting new batteries and actually getting them to the boat i realized that theres really no extra space to do anything different than whats there which is a 3/4in plywood box to contain all the batteries. with a lid thats clamped to the box. sure isnt enough...

Who is using battery boxes for their house battery bank? If you are what are you using? Start batteries are pretty easy but there are typically far more batteries in a house bank than start batteries. Back story: New to me boat had a wooden box for the 4) 6v house batteries that was built...

I’m starting to think out the update for my navigation equipment and would like some input from other on their opinions or experience as dangerous as that may be. I’m doing a full replacement of all electronics getting rid of an old humminbird up top and an old lowrance down below as well as...

While i cant help 100%, i jut read a great article that talks about this in great detail. try doing a search for "link algorithm operation" posted by "Stu Jackson" it was posted on April 20, 2009.

Ok, well I’ll be looking into mine to see what I can find. If I figure anything out I’ll be sure to follow up with you.

I know it’s OLD! did you ever resolve this? Or did you just leave it alone?

The alternators do have external regulators on them but I have no clue how they are wired for the charge circuit. It’s not my boat yet so I don’t know much about the details other than quick visual observations. But I will admit the original chb battery selector switch is something I’ve net...

Took a 34 chb for a very extended sea trial this weekend possibly purchasing from a friend We went 6 hours east spent the night and about 7 hours back west the following day. After about 2 hours I noticed the volt gauge had dropped to 12v. The current owner flipped a few switches and voltage...
