Sitting in the cockpit having my coffee this morning. Sudden distinct electrical burning smell. That gets the heart going a bit. Turns out the water heater hot wire was sandwiched between the cover and the water heater ground. Rubbed through for a efficient short. All fixed and back in business

I need to replace a couple tambour cabinet doors. Anyone have a source for tambour? I see plenty on the web but was hoping for a satisfied experience anyone had with a supplier. And wow...like most things, from what I am seeing, this stuff isn't cheap.

I see a lot of different options out there, but wondering if anyone has a good experience with any particular SCUBA tank racks for the boat. I'm looking to hold 4 tanks total.

Do most of you have your anchor secured with a tie down to a cleat? I hate having to leave the helm to undo the anchor before dropping it...but not sure if it is a must do or not. I can't say I have ever noticed any slack in the windlass when I unsecured it.

Clearly my boat has been in storage far too long. I have been to it several times over the winter months - replacing strataglass panels, painting the bottom, refinishing swim platform wood inserts, etc. Two weeks to go for launch! The one thing I am thinking about right now....firing up the...

Ok, I'm going a bit crazy here. Dock hand accidentally dropped my waste cap in the marina. Not his fault, just happened. I am going crazy finding one though. Rhe measurements are 2" outside cap and 17/8" thread. I am usually very good at finding parts, but nothing I seem to match up to those...

Hey everyone I am upgrading my nav and radar system. I have an Airmar P79 transducer that had a connector spliced onto it for the old nav system. I am looking for a connector to splice in to Airmar 8 wire cable to connect it to the new Garmin 8 pin. Anyone happen to have done this and know a...

My 86 340 is showing all of the good times with the dash paint. Anyone have a recommendation on paint type to use to redo it?

Being I have an old boat that has gone through many upgrades/changes of electronics (Loran, GPS, radar, etc), there are several old screw holes in the fiberglass dash. I want to seal them up and have them be smooth for painting over at some point. Product recommendations? Locktite marine...

Headed over to the Island for the weekend this Friday. Anyone else going to be there by chance? If you haven't been there after the last ferry leaves....you are missing something. Love being there for the night once it quiets down and then stumble back to the dock.

Sorry for the newbie question...new to me boat and new to this size boat. Being this is the first season for me with this boat, I am going through a big learning curve. I finally got to testing the windlass on my to-do list and found it trying to work but not. Dug into the chain locker and...

I have bought several products from MPowerd for power outages, camping, etc. I recently found this product from them and so far love them. Clearly, I don;t have them hung up all pretty and tighty, but they are working out great so far. Solar powered and can be used anywhere. You can choose a...

I am replacing all four of my vent louvers. What type of caulk should I use? Many thanks in advance for your input.

Being I work from anywhere, I plan to spend some weeks up on the boat during the work week. My marina has WIFI, but I want to have a backup should the marina's go down. What are any of you using for internet? I am with AT&T, and I see they have hotspot routers, but all seem very low for data...

Purchased my 1986 340 Sundancer from a family friend this fall. First boat of this class with lots to learn. Time with the boat at this point was cleaning and removing 10 down comforters worth of dog hair left by the owner, looking things over and a one hour ride on the way to take it for...
