I was out this past Sunday and one of my friends had his scuba gear with him. I decided to take a quick dive to check out my boat. The hull was fine but my trim tabs were completely encrusted in barnacles and I also had some on the outdrives and the props. I scrapped everything clean and the...
Actually using seawater for flushing creates a much bigger stink believe it or not. I currently have a manual pump head but the raw water seacock has been closed and I use the freshwater from the shower-head when I flush/pump (as do many people I know). My plan is to pickup an electric head...
That looks fantastic. I was actually thinking about dyeing the vinyl around the cockpit but didn't know there was a marine specific product. I just checked SEM's site and it looks like my local parts guy is a dealer, so I'll be speaking to them tomorrow.
Re: Superstore Sandy and navigating this year????
This is going to be the first year that I'm going to take my time getting the boat in the water. I need new props, but I think I'm going to wait till the boats been in the water a few months before I swap them out...although if I keep hitting...
Re: Superstore Sandy and navigating this year????
I went down to my slip earlier in the day and happened to catch it on a very low tide. When I looked into the water I saw the legs of a 5'-6' bench sitting in the back of my slip...who knows what else is in there. Maybe the marina said they...
Re: Superstore Sandy and navigating this year????
I plan on going in a little later than I have in years passed and taking it slow for a little while. The place I am most concerned about is my slip...I have heard that the marina had divers in the water ensuring that the slips are clear, but...
I know this is an old thread but I am contemplating replacing the original A/C seacock this year and I have a question. Did you have to do any work outside of the boat? I was under the impression that I would need to use a special tool outside of the boat to unscrew the thru-hull from the...
Hey guys, I have a set of Bennett Trim tabs on my SeaRay and the starboard side started leaking last season. When I pulled the boat for the season I found oil on the lower piston of the starboard cylinder. I know the o-rings can be replaced, but considering the age, should I just replace the...
I had a feeling that pipe might be related to the A/C system...it's always bothered me that the condensation accumulates in the bilge under the aft berth. As you know, the bilge pump never gets all the water out and as a result there's always standing water inside the boat. Looking at your...
I actually live over in Lindenhurst. :) I don't have a genny either and I do have a macerator....based on other things that were done on my boat (as well as the interference issues I was having), I'm guessing a PO changed the routing on mine.
I will certainly take you up on the offer to...
