After reading the thread about gasoline smells in the ER (I would run, not walk away from gasoline fumes) I am curuious about diesel smells in engine rooms. I have been on tours of other boater's engine rooms and have more often than not smelled diesel. It seems to be accepted as normal. Of...

What would you expect for a "normal" burn rate for lube oil for a FL 120? I'm aware that there are many variables involved. If perhaps there is no "normal", what do you burn? John

How far off the bottom of the holding tank should pump-out pipe be and should it be cut at a 90 or another angle?

I have a Raytheon l365 that reads the water temp but flashes 0 feet depth most of the time. Ocassionally it works in deeper water but occasionally hangs up there too. I'd appreciate any solutions anyone may venture. Can the transducer be removed from the inside while the boat's in the water...

I had asked here about a high pitched "whine" that appears to be coming from my starboard shaft at certain rpm's. Someone suggested it may be caused by a propeller phenomenon called "singing". I googled it and see that a remedy includes filing the trailing edges of the propeller. Is there...

A Legendary Ship's Final Hours Battling Sandy - ABC News

How is Lake Champlain in October? Too late in the season or good for leaf looking?

I just noticed on a friends boat that's on the hard that there is an inch or inch and a half of shiny shaft astern the cutlass bearing. Failed or loose motor mounts? Any other ideas. I don't have access to go aboard to look, but I'd like to offer some ideas when I give her the news.

It's haul out time. What, if anything, do you tip the yard crew?
