Update: First trip back to Watch Hill this season. Swore I wouldnt go back due to last seasons bug and electrical dock issues. I have to say the place is back to being a really nice experience. Mosquitos were at a minimum. I guess being closed for some time led to an over abundance of them last...
Hi all. Looking to replace my Tides Sureseal shaft seals and cutlass bearings. Anybody have this done by a marina recently and what was the cost? Its a nightmare to gain access at least for me. I replaced one of the replacement seals last summer and that was a 10 advil job. I might skip the diy...
Try these guys for insurance. I was blown away compared to others.

Skisafe came in great! I went through the whole process this past fall. Geico and Progressive had ridiculous high quotes. I got my 02' 340 with agreed value around $800.00
It should be a balsa core deck with a solid core hull. I do agree with the 10k price reduction on sale. If you were to fix thats what the cost could be thousands. When I purchased my 340 I had moisture and a soft spot around one of my hatches that was leaking. I did get the proper price off in...
I am beyond thrilled that Merc now makes a water impellar kit ($35) that includes a wear plate for my 8.1s! Talk about a savings not having to replace those pumps! I did buy the other end that the hoses attach to but that was a deal compared to $700 x2 or so for new pumps :)
Just switched from Falvey (who stopped writing policies) to Ski Safe. I priced out many. Geico and Progressive were ridiculously high compared to all/most others. Travelers was close on my Ski Safe quote.
I did it on my 8.1s about a year and a half ago when I changed my manifolds. It was fairly easy but again i had the exhaust off. If you were to do it with the exhaust off the hardest part may be access. Otherwise the hose clamps and oil connections were easy.
Flynns is good much like Davis on any wind other than west or northwest. Its pretty bare bones as far as ammenities. Bathrooms lock up pretty early and dont open till later in the morning so its a must to have a working head. Its a very good locale as Ocean Beach is a 20 minute walk or so to get...
It was told to me by friends who are seasonals there and know the people who run the marina. I hope its more than a rumor as it would probably make this place that much better!
Rumor is Davis is getting a new wall to combat those west/northwest winds. Also with that im sure the price will be going up especially for the locals who pay half the price of out of towners. I love Davis but unfortunately if you cant get there early in the week its becoming tough to get a good...
The one thing I left out that I fully agree with you PMC is the place is still awesome for kids. Mine who are 7 and 9 took full advantage of the place including the ranger station and programs they offered. That was A++.
Well, first trip back to Watch Hill since it has reopened and I have to say the upgrade was a major downgrade. Electrical issues with multiple boats up and down the dock. Dockmaster say it has to do with their new state of the art system which is super sensitive. I dont know. We were a group of...
