Must be a different DoD. Health benefits, paid vacation days, sick leave, pension... sure, but that's just part of the overall compensation...
FWIW, that's a PASS in my book. Saves me a lot of grief -- and subsequent time, effort, money -- to know when not to bother putting a Band-Aid on...
Perhaps that was the cap on the expansion tank? -Chris
Ah, didn't realize it's a ferroresonant charger... Just passing curiosity, given that the current (pun) 12v and 24v Charles chargers have a good...
Do you mean the charger doesn't automatically come down to the appropriate float voltage for a 32v system? (What is that voltage, anyway?) Or do...
And... do keep thinking/postulating about how you might like to use the boat... because that will influence your choice of features. For...
In that case, sounds like you can (temporarily, at least) eliminate the idea of express boats. And maybe it's approaching time to look at boats....
I've found boat shopping submits to analysis of the way we'd use it.. so we never start with the idea of brands or styles, but rather features...
Sounds to me like OP wouldn't be jumping into 500 Ton for his first license, though... -Chris
That's pretty excessive. Charger failing, wrong batteries, something wrong... And then of course the "not to bother..." advice is also part of...
Yeah, another example he gave during the discussion was about fitting new internal bulkheads... Lots o' work. These were workboats generally...
I've not heard anyone say celestial navigation is a requirement for a captain's license. It certainly wasn't for mine. Where in Maryland are you...
I could see where it might simply have been a "fail-yuh to commun-cate." Electrician might not have had full facts and might have made some...
I have no direct experience, but an acquaintance near here told me his charter operation went through the process to acquire and upgrade a...
Looks like Fullriver offers chargers, too (according to a press release in their About Us link), so it would seem a likely place to look for...
Seems an odd comment. We cook onboard lots, as do most of our acquaintances... ? -Chris
You might want to give some thought -- together -- to the idea of using your house for a fishing trip. Folks do it all the time, of course, so...
Since fishing is your primary objective, you'd probably find many more brands suitable to that. Things like built-in rod-holders, live wells,...
I'm not very familiar with those particular models, and we don't usually shop by boat brand... but FWIW when we are shopping, one of our key...
Your captain should be able to 'splain why the basic plan changed each time. I can say we have a general preference for which lines in which...
