OK, I confess, I coined a term hoping it will catch on, to express the way us boaters are treated by marine oriented companies at the cash register. The term came from head gaskets from Mitsubishi in Westerbeke repackaging for $211.00 that should cost $59 retail or valves for $73 that should...

Has anyone out there put a Weinguard Roadtrip T4 on their boat?

I am about to sign a contract for bridge canvas. I have seen/heard horror stories. I have a guy and an estimate, both of which I am comfortable with. The question is: How much money, percentage wise, should I release at various stages of completion from contract inking to completion, on...

Many, if not most Westerbeke engines are Mitsubishi. Westerbeke guards their suppliers as a corporate secret so they can extort their end users. We owners of these products are not customers in Westerbeke's view from my bad experiences. Only the boat manufacturers and distributors are their...

. Seems the Air Force Brass, mostly dated fighter jocks that are being replaced by robots and remote pilots, want to kill off the A10. I always thought this plane should have been in Marine Air. I would think it could be modified for carrier take of and landings, a requirement Marine Air...

I was shocked @ $20 a quart for hydraulic fluid for my Teleflex steering system. That price makes NO sense. I went to search and a string dated 2012 discussed various requirements and ISO specs and they are all met by Phillips 66 XC an aviation hydraulic fluid. $6.50 per quart at a local...

Something is going to happen concerning the VW Diesel cheating scandal. There is credible information talking about buy backs and wrecking out. The 09's up to 13-14 models do not have room under the hood for the mods necessary and with the pollution controls on full time as designed the...

I have had both services and have nothing but good things to say about them. That being said when your cruising ground is the East Coast and the Bahamas is there any advantage to having both. At less than $200 a year per each that is not a budget buster. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Well here we go, I have pigeon holed Westerbeke in the same file as March raw water pumps.... Neither seem, by my experience give one whit about customer service. I do have documentation of my mistreatment as a customer by both. I hope others have had better experiences, but as for me I hope I...
