    Faucet Replacement

    Hi all, The faucet in my little kitchen area broke and needs to be replaced. Anyone have a recommendation on where and what to buy? Any tricks to this on the boat vs. in the house? I don’t care about trying to buy an exact match to the original, I just want something decent that will plug and...

    Vacuflush - pump never stops

    Just launched for the season and was checking on everything. Turned on the head system and the vacuum pump never stops running. No vacuum when I step on the pedal. Water does stay in the bowl though. I’m assuming duck bills? Below is a pic of my system, I’m assuming they are in the white PVC...

    Match cockpit trim paint?

    The trim around a couple of my side hatches in the cockpit (one storage, one battery switch) is painted metal and the paint is bubbling a peeling. Easy winter project to sand and repaint, but any idea if there's a way to match the paint color? Or should I just pick th closest off-white I can...

    Auto Trim Tab Issue?

    All, I installed the auto trim tab system a couple years ago. Most of the time over the past couple years it seemed to work fairly well, but maybe not as perfect as I would have liked. This year its giving me a little trouble. I'm not sure if this is me, or if there's something else wrong...

    Bilge Pump Blowing Fuse

    hey guys, any thoughts on where to look first? As soon as I flip the switch, the fuse blows. I removed the pump and cleaned it up. Hooked it to a battery to test it and it still works. It did feel a little tough to spin by hand when I first removed it, but spins freely now. Thanks, mike

    2017 season Upper Chesapeake CSR roll call

    Hey guys, another Mike here. Skibum and I used to be at the same marina, although I don't believe we ever officially met. We left the marina 3 years ago and now have the boat on Seneca Creek, just above Middle River. We're on our 2nd Searay, the first was a 215 weekender that we outgrew...

    New noise while underway?

    Hey guys....I've recently noticed a new noise while underway. It has something to do with steering as the noise is almost gone while the wheel is turned straight, but as soon as I turn left or right, I hear a whining/straining noise. It is at its worst when the wheel is turned all the way, in...

    Dead port side battery

    I just had a similar issue with a dead batter and when I put my hand on the red wire coming off the alternator, I found that it was broken at the connector. Easy fix, thankfully, and definitely something worth checking.
