Last years dock rash from a deflated fender in a wind storm vs screw head holding fender to dock! Didn’t do this repair myself due to timing/wx/launch day. Looks okay for my ol’sled. Filler then, Spectrum gel-coat to the rescue..

My ProMariner ProTech 1240i-plus charger has the setting for AGM so, that’s easy. But, there’s also a second switch selector for the absorption time?? I’m planning on using the factory set-up of 4 group 31’s. 1 batt. = engine 2 batt =engine and house 1 batt = generator So, 3 banks.. Possible...

For $100...I may give this a try.

I know many of us long after Nordhavn trawlers...This guy is great. Warning set aside a couple hours!!

Little FYI for the DIYers.. Learned a little more about the most important boat system...the vacuflush head. 13+ years worth of experience with this type of head and still learned something new! My vacuum pump bellows was cracked but, the system still worked 100% fine.. Some black water was...

Well, if I hadn’t just bought a new dink....I’d be driving to Defender in CT tomorrow! Link below...

Now I'm the first to harp about proper maintenance on a schedule instead of waiting for a failure. This one was in its 3rd year of operation.

Well I've got a bucket list item in progress... I get to drive this yacht North, from Palm Beach Florida with my buddy who is the boat's Captain....and I get paid to do it! Updates to follow, we untie lines in a hour.

Well this isn't about boating at all.... This site has helped me and I've managed to help others in the past so, why not. Couldn't hurt... I'm having to look for another pilot job :( My company for the last 15 years is selling off our contracts and closing down. I'm networking with all my...

This my friends boat but, I would like to do the same. Use an old computer laptop with a camera and set up Skype to auto answer. Video call your boat and see what's going on. You will need to have shore power, wifi and leave the computer on. Almost free way to watch and listen to your boat...

Ok, who has replaced the Norcold in a 1992-1999 400EC? Mine magically stopped working... I like the Vitrifrigo 2600 but, will it fit? The 400EC has no room to add spacer trim if it won't fit the original spot. I tried searching but didn't see any 400EC replacements. Pleasure boating, Mark.

More DIY...after Sandy floated my boat off it winter perch and rather gently let her settle back to the ground in a minor pile up. Heres what it looked like. Yes, the corner of the blue boat is stabbing through my forward fixed port light! We separated the boats with a crane and slings with a...

Some remember hurricane Sandy... Having been let down by some fiberglass professionals due to their busy schedules, I elected to do it myself. Saving $thousands$ in the process. Not rocket science and is stronger than original. Anyone needing to do some glass work...read everything about West...

Harbor Freight will accept any copy of a coupon as long as the number is legible and current. I've even just showed them a pic off my phone to get the discount. You need to apply the number under the bar code to use the coupon.. Maybe we can share with each other....any reason not to? Mark.

All 400 EC owners from 1992-1998. Adding an auto pilot to my 1995 400 express. I have a Raymarine system ready to go.. If you have (or had) a 400 EC please tell me where the various equip. is mounted so, I can do a factory looking install.. Type I drive unit?....rear port side maybe? Core...

I have the genny out of the boat so, want to do some tune up items. I have to admit the 7-8 years I have had this boat, I've never done anything but change the impeller, oil and zinc. Got those parts from Hanson but, there not inexpensive. Its a 7.0BCG gas Westerbeke. Thanks guys, Mark.

One down one to go...I hope to to be back in the water for July at this point.
