When I bought my 12' AB RIB it was sitting on a cheapo trailer that enabled them to move it around the lot. I didn't think anything about taking it anywhere other than to the boat but the more I'm enjoying it I'm thinking that I'd like to take it a few places and need a much better trailer. I...
Does anyone have experience with UMT Marine chocks or others that should be considered as alternates?
Looking to replace the standard GHS chocks on my hydraulic platform with some UMT ones that have a better contour for the AB RIB hull. They're pricey so I don't really want to experiment if I...
Has anyone replaced their Air King oscillating fan in the engine room?
The oscillating arm broke on mine and I would like to replace it with something that moves more air.
Thanks -
Sad to hear

I'm just kicking off a search for the right tender -
I've been looking at AB, BRIG, ZAR, etc, probably a 12' as my beam is 16'
There is a AB tender that I plan on looking at Saturday
Is AB considered a quality tender long term?
Are there other brands that I should include in this group?
Planning to reposition our new (to us) boat to Texas next week.
As luck would have it, I've roped the esteemed Capt. Rusty for the repositioning cruise and as word has it we may even pick up a rider in Panama City if Frank is still game.
Looking forward to the trip, it will be a significant...
Since we bought our new to us boat in the Ft Lauderdale area we're going to take the opportunity to make a Bahamas run next week.
Looking to leave Lighthouse Point, FL on Sunday and make a short run to Bimini, spend the first night there and then go on to Atlantis and hit Highborne on the way...
As many of you know or have read, Texas recently passed a sales tax cap on boat purchases limiting the tax at $18,750 for boats up to 115 feet or $3M.
Well, as it turns out this cap ONLY applies to boats that you buy in Texas.
If you read the bill (HB 4032), there isn't anything that states that...
OK - changing it up a bit.
Many of you saw my thread about selling my 460DA, that went amazingly well and I sold it in 8 days to someone in the same marina that I was in. It was an awesome boat and I know that it will serve their family well for many years.
Now I've moved on to a different...

Has anyone had experience with a boat with ZF Smart Command installed?

The system had previously been inop but the owner had in updated to current standards and supposedly works great but I’d love...

Long story, more to post later -
I'm having to replace a fuel line from stbd tank to racors. The line being replaced is the one that goes from selector valve to the racor filters
What's the best way to draw fuel through the new line and purge the air in the system?
2003 6cta
Thanks
Had a series of alarms today
Port gage showed voltage at 16.9V idling, 17.6V @ 1100RPM (compared to 13.8V for STBD)
when the engine is off I show port @ 12.5V & Stbd @12.4
Is this simply an alternator giving up?
I have 6CTA's in a 2003 460DA.
When I go through the start sequence the starboard engine panel comes back on and shows "STOP ENGINE" AND "CHECK ENGINE"
The port engine sequences through everything just fine.
The normal sequence lights up "WAIT TO START", "ENGINE MAINT", "STOP ENGINE" and...
