Over the years, I've become too familiar with vacuflush. But now I'm stuck. My 2008 boat has a vacuflush head with the JW vacuum generator and a holding tank. Once each season the system will stop working, because the vacuum generator is filled will toilet paper. This isn't a normal clog or...

On another forum we're having an arguement about limiting horsepower on our lake in New Hampshire. Someone posted this: "Eleven of the largest lakes in Alabama now have a 500 Horsepower limit." Is is true? Anyone know where I can get more information.

The insurance company wants to give me a discount if I install an alarm on the new boat. So I'm thinking about a few ideas. I remember reading about some people using pressure sensor mats and motion sensors, do these really hold up in a canvas covered boat? Do you get a lot of false alarms...

This is my boat on a local marina's website: This is their caption "If you can't decide who makes the best, easiest to use, least expensive bottom cleaner- please look at this picture and then come-on-in and buy some Slimy Grimy. We'll even teach you a couple tricks on how to apply it...

I'm looking at a new boat and I don't like the factory electronics, too much money and wrong GPS chart system. I'm looking at the Standard Horizon CPV350 for these reasons: It has C-map GPS, they have the best charts for my lake. It has a built in VHF. It's a busy lake with good cell...

Is the counter top in late model Sundancers gelcoat or something like corain? I'm shopping and I've seen a few with what looks like stress cracks or deep scratches in the gallery counters. Fiberglass probably coud be repaired but what about corian?

We took a look at a new 340, it's big and beautiful :smt038 but also darn expensive :smt089 As most know, you can't get the camper canvas with any Sundancer that supports V-drives. So we really like how the camper top extends the rear bimini on our 300 and want to have the same shade on...

As our second season in the 300 winds down, :smt089 :smt089 we are thinking about a bigger boat. My limiting facor is the 12' max beam of my slip and of course I'm cheap. The new 330 has a lot of neat new things that things interesting but the 340 seems to have more room. It should due to...

No not the green ones, the little plastic pieces that Searay uses to hold some panels on. One end of a panel on the starboard side that keeps popping off. The panel is a white plastic board material (starboard?) with the finished vinyl on the outside. It's held on by about 6 of those...

Not scuba, but just diving of the boat. Last weekend, on my lake, an adult man dove into the water from a boat, at a shallow sandbar. My guess is the water was about a foot deep. He broke his neck, but seems to have some hope of recovery. It got me thinking about how deep is deep enough...

Has anyone else seen reserved docking for the handicapped? On our lake there are public town docks which are free for boaters to use and shop in town. There's no harbor master or anything, it's like a parking lot at the mall. On busy weekends, there can be a long wait for a spot. Over the...

My vacuflush head got out of sync. Normally when the foot lever is in the middle neutral position the ball is closed. I stepped on mine and it felt kind of funny and then the ball would open when I released the pedal instead of closing. Obviously the head won't work like that. Lucky it was...

My new slip is going to be stressful. Anyone have any advice, maybe some spriglines would help? I have 300 DA with twin bravo 3's. I have to back in to a slip. In back there is a concrete bulkhead. There is a 27' finger dock on the starboard, and another boat to port. I'm about 4 feet from...

So first rainy weekend this spring and the starboard wiper doesn't work. It worked last fall. The green light come on. I checked the breaker on the EIM and it's not tripped. There not movement at all, no sign that it's even trying to move. It won't move by hand with power on or off. I...

I'm looking for a low cost chartplotter and fishfinder. Only C-Map has charts of Winnipesaukee so thats's a requirement. So far I'm considering the Navman 6500, which is a combo and the Standard Horizon CP-180 with their FF520 fishfinder addon. They cost about the same, both well under $1000...

What is this thing? I push it and nothing happens. Actuallly it doesn't really push. It's below the helm to the starboard side.

My boat came with an anchor called Kodiak from South Coast, which does not seem to exist on the web. It says 22 on the bottom and it looks like a clone of a Delta Fast-set. Does anyone know for sure how big an anchor I can fit. Will a Delta 35 lb fit? How about a 33 lb claw? Is there anyway to...

I boat on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH, no gray water can be discharged. The Searay answer to this, is to plumb all gray water to the shower sump and then have it pump into the Vacu-flush holding tank. Since that tank is only 27 gallons, it fills pretty fast if we use the shower. I want to add...

We have a beer topic so we need a wine topic. No not which wine is better, but will wine freeze and break the bottle? I seem to have lost a bottle on the boat somewhere. I distinctly remember taking two bottles to the boat last month and only drinking one. I've check every nook and cranny...
