When one plays with big toys, big stuff can happen. :D I realize that I spend virtually no time in danger of a tidal grounding. So, when fueling...
Well ... close anyway. It did make the front page of the local Belfast, Maine newspaper. I took on 650 gallons while the tide was going down ......
I even recall reading something in my original 1984 Bertram manuals about the grounding system and NOT having a ground or something like that. I...

I have a 1984 Bertram 54 with the 12V71TI engines but Twin Disc MG514C gears ... My gears were slid back and overhauled in hull without moving the...
Always nice to be reminded that I'm a very frugal guy. General maintenance and debt service on one of these yachts and choppers is more than all...
New cylinder head installed ... all systems go ... sea trial went well. No leaks, fairly clean running. Good to go once more. Time to put the...
When I bought my Bertram 54 it had the large Raymarine Open Array proudly displayed on top ... think the system was an E120 or something like...
