It boils down to what boating means to you. For us, we enjoy traveling in our boat through out northern New England. And when the season is open, I can go tuna fishing with any number of marina friends most of whom have commercial licenses. I doubt if we were limited to lake boating we would...

There is a spray? Did not know that will have to check it out.

I use the Kanberra gel during winter storage. It really works well but can be really over powering.

Interesting read. In the early sixties my dad was diagnosed with asthma. Back then it was a big deal and he damn near died before the doctors figured it out. But as part of his treatment we had some kind of ozone/ionizer device that was supposed to purify the air. I’m guessing since he had...

Is it just the vinyl upholstery, or any rubberized materials like gaskets like on hatches?

Thanks, We don’t have holding tank smells. Haven’t had any of those since Carter invented Poopy Powder and I learned to not allow holding tanks to not get over filled.

Anyone have any experience with this product? https://airlockpurifierusa.com/ thanks Henry

We have the Uline on the Sabre that the seller replaced. Call Uline CS. I had problems with the ice maker last year and called their customer service. The lady was able to diagnose the problem after I gave her the details. I ordered the parts needed from her and after the UPS guy brought...

We had a single engine 280 with a B3. You will regret going to a B1.

My recollection from the electronics class I took (taught by a licensed captain) was that it was better to have the radar on standby at all times as that provided instant on whereas off to on involved a warm up period. I now just use radar all the time. The Axiom touch screen makes it easy to...

Tom, Hi Tom, Good to see you are still using the 280, hope all has been going well for you. I used to use the loop from an old dock line with a knot o the end to make that easier. I thought I left that on the boat when you bought it There is a switch set up on the port side helm EIM pad...

We use a dedicated iPad with about 200 gigs of recorded stuff from our own and friends cd collections. We also subscribe to Apple Music for streaming content. That gets ported to the Fusion AV 755. Sirius comes as a free trial from Porsche, Audi, and now even Jeep. Two Porsches, an Audi...

We looked at some slips there in 21 for our Sabre and passed on them. The facilities were very nice, the available slips were just too much of a pita to get in and out off. The economics were good but of limited value, e.g outside storage included would require shrink wrap that costs almost as...

Didn’t he disappear somewhere in the Arctic during one of his expeditions? Kind of a mixed message there PL. In my younger years I worked as a mechanic and r&r’d many engines and transmissions from British, American, Italian and German cars, including a 1951 Rolls. I have seen the transom...

Just before we go out I start the engines and then the gen. By the time the sun shades are down and the shore power is disconnected the gen is warmed up and making volts. It will run until we are at our destination and on shore power. The ice stays frozen, food chilled and having AC on keeps...
