I have a bunch of left over Soundown vinyl loaded sound deadening material, 2" think foam plus vinyl layer in the middle. One piece is about 4.5' x 4', and the other is 4.5' x 2'. Dimensions are approximate. This is available for pickup in Bellingham, but you need to come get it right away...

I reported this some time back but that thread has been closed. The “New Posts” button behaves differently when clicked from a laptop browser vs a mobile browser, and the mobile operation is really pretty annoying. In a PC browser (safari or Firefox on macOS in my case) the New Posts button...

I just want to offer congratulations to Paulga. He came into boat at ground zero, not just about boating, but also about most everything that goes into owning and maintaining anything, let alone a boat. I think all of us tend to take for granted all the ancillary homeowner, do-it-yourself...

I have noticed that when accessing TF via a mobile device (web access, not the old app), when you click the "New Posts" button, it returns and displays most recent posts, not new posts. Most recent posts are just that, regardless of whether they have been read or not by the logged in user...

A few people have recently mentioned carrying liability insurance, but otherwise self insuring their boat. I'm wondering how that works out in a situation like the storm and damage that hit La Paz. Boats partially or fully sunken in slips, smashed on top of other boat, washed ashore, and even...

I know others watch a variety of YouTube channels, and not just boating channels. I also know I'm not alone using an AdBlocker in my browser. Others have probably noticed that YouTube is now limiting/blocking access if you are using an Ad-Blocker. For me this means I no longer watch any of...

For sale is one of the original Outback MPPT 60 solar charge controllers. Also a Mate display. Both for $75, buyer pays shipping. Located in Central Vermont.

I realize 48V is unusual for boats, but more and more people are moving in that direction, so I offer this up. One Schneider Conext XW+ 6848 Inverter/Charger. This is 60hz, 120/240V split phase power (no transformer required like is needed in Victron systems), 6.8KVA, 120A, 48V DC. This unit...

I'm curious what terms people have on their long-term slip rentals when it comes to further subletting. By long term, I mean am6mo to a year or more lease. In particular, what are the terms around further subletting or re-renting the slip when you are not using it. I have seen terms that are...

I have qty 32 CALB 180 LFP cells coming available over the next several weeks as a result of a large upgrade that I'm doing. These are grade A cells and I have the original test data from CALB supplied when I bought them. Serial numbers are sequential. These have been in service for the...

I have both a complete Furuno Navpilot 700c Autopilot system for sale, plus a couple of extra display/control panels. Full system consists of: FAP7002 Autopilot computer and interface box FAP711C color display/control panel PG700 heading sensor FAP6112 Rudder position sensor Includes all...

I encountered what I think is a pretty sleazy billing policy at Juneau Harbors. They charge for any portion of a day, midnight to midnight, not per-night. As a consequence, if you come in Monday afternoon and leave Tuesday am, you get charged for two days. So however many nights you stay...

Is it just me, or do Duracell batteries leak 100% of the time. And I really mean 100%. I have not encountered a single one in the past few years that hasn't leaked, often ruining whatever they were in. I have completely stopped using them because they are pretty much guaranteed to ruin...

For sale is a Yacht Devices YDEG-04 adapter than converts engine J1939 data to NMEA 2000. If you engine uses J1939, which most all engines over the past 15 years or so do, this will convert all the instrument data to NMEA 2000 where you can then display it on an MFD or other display. Works...

I have been carrying one of these releasable mooring hooks for about 10 years from three boats ago. I don't think I used it more than a couple of time, and it's in like new condition. I do not have the clip that you mount to a boat hook, but I think it can still be used by other means, or some...

This isn't for a boat, but I know a lot of people have RVs as well, so here goes. For Sale is an Onan 4kw "Emerald" RV generator. It's in good shape, but hasn't been run in 15 years or so. Stored in climate controlled space. Set up to run on propane which is how I used it, but I still have...

For Sale is a new, in box ICOM HM195G Command Mic. This is a full function mic for various ICOM model VHFs. I bought this for an M510 VHF, but don't need it. These sell for about $200 retail. This is new, in the original box, never installed. Black. Asking $150 plus shipping. Located in...

For sale are a pair of SENA SPH-10 headsets, aka marriage savers. They don't quite have enough range for our current boat, so I switched to an EarTec setup with a central hub. These appear to sell for about $300 for a pair. I'm asking $125 for this pair. Located in Seattle, and local...

The issue of aging boats, holding and repair costs that exceed boat value, abandoned boats, and public nuisance/burden has come up a number of times. This morning we saw a dilapidated boat getting towed in for hauling. When it was hauled, the slings crushed right into and through the hull, it...

I am re-configuring some battery wiring in my boat and have pulled out a bunch of 12' long 4/0 cables. They are tinned boat cables with lugs on both ends, they could be shortened, be re-lugged, or otherwise reconfigured if desired. If anyone wants one or more, please contact me. This would be...

Although we are all boaters, I know others take the occasional commercial cruise/expedition. We have too, including two trips with Lindlbad/National Geographics, including one to South George, the Falklands, and Antarctica which at the time was their most extravagant expedition.. As of the...

Anyone hiring out an LFP retrofit should require that the installation be ABYC compliant, and anyone doing it themselves should ensure the same thing. The standard has been out since July and is a good baseline set of requirements that all installations should meet. It's also a good...

Here's a new scam, sadly promoted by BoatUS. boatnameregistry.com You can "register" your boat name with them for $35/year and "protect" the name from use by anyone else. As most people in the US know, boat naming in the US is not unique, and there is no restriction on duplicate boat names...

Despite growing up about 1/2 mile from the Delaware & Raritan Canal, and riding my bike along the tow paths on a regular basis, I never really realized it's significance, and how nice it would be for cruisers if it were still in operation. It connects (or used to) the Raritan Bay inside of...

I read in the Mobius blog that by all indications FireFly has folded? Anyone heard more?
