We installed a wireless yacht controller just after initial purchase. We did not get the joystick, just pushbuttons.
The tanks are rotomolded and buried under the companionway and stateroom interior walls. Here is a photo of the tanks in place before the cabin...
During the 4 years I owned my L650FLY I was aware that water tanks had been an issue on some boats. I never had such issues. Adding bladders...
We draw 5’ and always run the sounds, rather than Alligator River. We never see less than 10-15’ under the keel. Stops along the way will depend...
It’s great for a 24vdc pump - best I’ve ever had. I did add an accumulator tank to the system, but that says more about the plumbing runs than the...
I wish I had seen this earlier. I have an unneeded spare that I could have sold you at a great price.
He’s an author. Obviously researching about specific romanticized aspects of yachting. This isn’t a bad place to get information, but it would be...
I went through St Augustine 4 weeks ago. It’s definitely more challenging than some, but the first channel markers are visible from the sea buoy...
Having done deliveries I feel for your Captain. He has done more than many would in terms of trying to solve the drain issue. My suggestion is to...

It’s been over 2 years since we sold our L650FLY, so memory is a bit fuzzy. There was no factory installed expansion tank. We added one along with...
These old salts have a lot of wisdom and should probably be listened to. But for a fully automatic unit I recommend Spectra. It does just about...
PTO for hydraulics is another place to look. If that engine is driving a running pump, it would increase rpm to handle the load.
One of the issues I have with all of these licenses is that they don’t really test competency. In most states there is a true false test after...
Is it time for a change in testing and qualification procedures?...
Indoor heated storage in New England for our girl this season. I’ll miss the trip south and my friends in FL, but it’s the right choice for me...
I bought my jet over an outboard powered boat because I had just over 14' of foredeck space to dedicate to the tender. The jet is 14'2" overall,...
Rotax marine engines are in Sea Doo, Scarab, Williams, ABJet, and probably others. The AB dealer told me I could go to any Sea Doo dealer. Not...
And by the way, the technical support from AB Inflatables and our dealer in FL has been Outstanding. We had some minor issues with component parts...
