FWIW, I have read that the C-Map charts for the Bahamas area are the Explorer Charts (maybe that means they're derived from Explorer Charts)....
Thanks, I'll have a closer look. One correspondent discovered the guide wires themselves go for about $1K... so I'd just as soon not mess with...
Useful to know. The parts diagram -- must be about a gazillion parts on each -- makes it look very complicated. -Chris
Ref Suburban: "Dropped the model..." ?? Is that an Avalanche -- not a Suburban -- in your pic? -Chris
On our third Suburban (first was stolen)... we've had smaller SUVs before that (Suzuki SJ, Isuzu Trooper)... and wifey's ride has morphed from...
Thanks, see PM... -Chris
Thanks for asking, guys. They're 33' long. I don't want to disassemble -- looks like a bazillion hours of work -- so I'm hoping for a local sale...
Before you rush right out to buy a new water heater... Sometimes failure can be at the thermostat, or at the element. Both are often...
Sure, fair enough. From your earlier comments, I thought you were making a blanket statement... -Chris
I guess... but proximity helps. Given the only power I need while wintering in water is to occasionally run the de-icer... and given that's only...
We replaced all our G4 bi-pin halogen bulbs with bi-pin LED discs from marinebeam.com. The product at the time was called Force 12 or some such,...

I don't risk that, myself. We usually winter in the water, and we run a de-icer when necessary, but we do not run an engine room heater and we...
Good post, OB, thanks for taking the time to peck all that out. For such a young whipper-snapper, you do sometimes hit the mark the first time....
There are some convertibles and probably even more "sedan bridge" boats out there with stairs to the flying bridge, instead of ladders. FWIW, we...
Two common fabrics are Sunbrella and Stamoid. Common "sheet glass" roll-up-able clears are Stratoglass and Ultralite/Regalite, and the clearer...
Speaking of 39' Silvertons... I know there's a well-kept 2000 392 on Lake Texoma that's for sale, I believe by owner (i.e., no broker yet). No...
Gas can work, as long as you recognize and are comfortable with the limitations... Many would say that a Yugo is inferior to a Rolls. OTOH, the...
The Michigan Wheel website has a prop-sizing tool; might be useful to check that against your numbers. -Chris
That will be a useful report. -Chris
