    Strainer rebuild

    I’m still going through details on my new to me boat from last year but I feel this might have been overlooked in the cleaning department!

    Axiom XL

    I installed new Axiom XL. The boat is on the hard and inside. I have run the battery charger a couple times this winter for a few hours each so not sure of the charge on them. The Axioms have power but when I swipe power switch it takes several tries to turn on or off. Work fine once running...

    Skipper Bud’s in Winthrop Harbor

    I got a little excited today when my launch form came. Still a long way away but gets me in the mood! I’m usually farther south for my winter storage so I was curious when does everyone start launching on south Lake Michigan?

    Not a good start

    So I recently sold my 2009 sedan bridge to a fantastic young family in search of the boating experience we are all looking for. The boat is in great shape and he is only moving across Lake Michigan from one side to the other. What could go wrong? The new owner and his hired captain came...

    How long of 50 amp cord is safe?

    I have 2 slips end to end along a wall at my marina. I do not have power at the slip farthest from the pedestal and I am definitely not an electrician. Is it safe to run a 100 foot 50 amp cord that far? I did find one on the interweb but just because they sell it doesn’t mean it’s safe. Thanks.

    52 sedan bridge for sale

    I have found my next boat but must unload this beautiful boat first. Moving on up! I have just made this decision so I don’t have many current pictures available but will soon. This is a 2009 50th anniversary edition. Go to you tube and look up 52 sedan bridge “sold in 3 days” from 5 years...

    Raymarine Axiom update

    Has anyone installed the new update Fremantle yet? I did this weekend and it removed the sonar enable tab on the startup section and now I can’t get the sonar to start up. I also lost the Channel selection on my fusion radio. Any thoughts? I’m running the Axiom xl

    Swim platform relay

    I have the GHS swim platform and it has always been finicky about going up and down. I attributed that to my lack of knowledge on how to operate it. It goes up and down but takes a lot of button pushing and then it just starts working. Same result on fob or wired remote. I really didn’t use it...

    Who has reupholstered?

    I am kicking around the idea of reupholstering my bridge and cockpit and looking for some ideas. If anyone has pictures of the ones they have done as well as the colors you used I would like to see how you did it. I would like to get new stidd helm chairs and have them covered to match also...

    Illinois lock closures

    So I am sitting in the Ivy Club Marina in Peoria for the summer due to the river lock closures. We have about 73 miles of boating available to Us and don’t get me wrong just being on the water is great, but I envisioned the vastness of Lake Michigan and several new ports to explore this summer...

    Glomex AB switch

    I am looking to replace my Glomex amplifier switch and have been striking out everywhere. No one has one in stock and Glomex says 6 months out. Does anyone one have a working one they want to sell that they may have removed for some reason? Thought this might be worth a try!

    Sr 200 xm antenna connector?

    I’m getting my boat back in shape after a over the road relocation and found this connector which plugs into the sr 200 xm box is not quite right. Looks like it got pulled apart and don’t know if I have replace whole cable or can this end be replaced. Does anyone know the name of this...

    Slip swapping

    This may have been covered or maybe not even possible but does anyone trade slips in different towns on Lake Michigan for short periods of time? I’m sure there may be leases agreement issues but there must be some private ownership slips that this could be possible. It would sure make sense if...

    Built in bbq counter top

    I am redoing the starboard countertop on the custom grill the Po put in my boat. I want to match the galley but not sure of the color. The spec sheet calls them Black Sea y110. Not sure that sounds right. Here a couple of pics. If anyone has any thoughts let me know.

    Everything is broke! I just don’t know it yet.

    Ever had that trip when everything falls apart. I bought my boat in September of 2017 and it was bone stock. PO did nothing to update or overall maintenance. Engines, wax and some cosmetic only. No problem we surveyed and knew what worked and what didn’t and fixed what we could, adjus price...

    Hazy interior doors

    with winter lay up approaching I am looking to see if anyone has been able to fix this issue. All of my interior doors have this haze in some way or another. I’m assuming a wood shop could do his but if anyone has done this somewhere in particular please let me know. I’m sure shipping them...

    St Joseph,MI or Michigan City Marina?

    i live in central Illinois and am looking for recommendations for which marina you all prefer. I cut across 80 so Michigan City is only 3 1/2 drive to get to. Any suggestions on where to dock next spring? It’s going to take some doing to get it out of Missouri so I’m starting now. Got to...

    Fusion XM

    I installed put a fusion head unit in and later I added some new Raymarine Axioms and a SR200 xm unit. All of this is hooked up by installer. Last week I subscribed to the xm radio (the operator I was talking to couldn’t figure out how to do the weather so I will do that later) but the radio...
