I have a snap screw that pulled out of my cockpit cabinet (white fiberglass). Bigger screw won't fit the snap, so I need to repair the hole.
Just fill with 5200 and dry, then redrill and attach existing screw?
Anyone else having issues getting insurance? Companies these days seem to be extremely picky and VERY expensive. Anything over 10 years old, over 64 feet, and especially down here in Florida gets you a $10k+ premium and a 1/3 coverage during named storms. WTF?
Anyone have any ideas or...
Anyone know about these? Could use some input/feedback. All I hear of Detroits are that they are louder, noisier, messier, less efficient - but will run forever, are easy to work on, and parts are plentiful.
Thanks!

We have been on the hunt for a 560DB for some time now. A 550 would be ideal (hell, an L650FLY would be ideal) but cost is keeping us down to the 560. We like the extra space compared to the 480 and especially the bunk room layout over the 480. We will be staying on her 3-4 nights a week, so...
I'm sure there are a few of us (either directly or indirectly) using this site while shopping for another boat. I also know that some of us are finding sub-standard vessels during inspections/surveys and, in turn, walk (sometimes run) away.
In an effort to save all of us time, money, and in...
Plan to run outside most of the time to bring a 560DB down the coast. 59' LOA, 4'6" draft.
CT (thru NYC) down to Ocean City MD then to Outer Banks, 2 nights in Charleston, 2 nights in St. Augustine, then down the ditch to home marina. Likely 10 days total depending on weather. Target is middle...
Running a 560DB from Pensacola to Cocoa Beach. Trying to figure out where to stay over. I'm not sure what marinas are up and running after the hurricane went through years ago, and which ones are convenient/transient friendly.
Was thinking Apalachicola then Clearwater then Fort Myers areas.
Hey guys...and gals!

She's a super clean boat. We've taken...

Well, if there was any doubt, our CO monitors seem to be working.
We went out for a weekend in the cove and our CO detector started going off during the day. I figured it was our buddy who was drafted up next to us. He was running his on board genny - and he has gas, not diesel. You could...
Mine went bad this weekend when out at anchor. Was replaced when I bought it last year (07/2018) because it was having issues - it would run for 30 seconds then shut off, then run again and shut off.
Verified there was 12v going to the pump before replacing. Will test the low pressure switch...
Hurts a little to post this, but my dad is finally selling his Sonic.
This was Sonics hull #1 of their 358 line. Dad bought it brand new and has pampered this baby ever since. It's made it down to the keys a few times but mostly kept in Middle River MD. Always lift kept. Detailed multiple times...
I was pretty sick of this giant aluminum plate under the STBD davit mount. It was WAY too big and ugly. I had to put a spacer under the PORT side mount, and wanted them to look the same, so I swapped it out. I think it looks better overall, but now I'm left with the old caulking used to...
Admiral is keen on sleeping out on the hook. We really like turning the generator off overnight (especially when rafted up), but airflow throughout the 44DA is minimal (at best). I put a few USB fans in there which keeps the air moving, but the only power available is AC.
I was going to run...
Anyone know if a good cleaner for this? Its showing its age and needs a good scrubbing. I was mildly successful with west marine mildew stain remover, bit I'd need 4-5 bottles to get the job done. Its some kind of plastic weave. About 70% blockage ratings. He's anyone tried painting them...
So, I've been dealing with this issue on my genny for some time now. She runs like a champ when the fuel selection valve is on the PORT tank, but tends to shut down on her own if on the STBD tank. Not really sure where or how to start troubleshooting this issue (valve, pickup, et cetera). Thanks.
Saw this table in pictures for a boat for sale and I really want it. Looks to be about 20"x40" folded amid expands to 40"x40" when unfolded. Anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks!
