I agree that all of the jabsco and competitor designs like that suck. Sealand T series is the way to go, BUT different configuration AND has a...
Does everyone realize the OP and his girlfriend are in their early 20's?
I don't care how many times you polish the fuel in your 1200 gallon single fiberglass tank. You will NOT get all of the algae out. With the...
I was referring to the picture that I posted the link to(top row being poke and stick).
You have to calibrate it for the specific gravity of the fuel by changing the gravity disc in the alfa laval to match the specific gravity of the...
If the boat is/was USCG documented, I am pretty sure the duty was paid. I believe it has to be paid in order to be US registered.
Either way, if you cannot physically open the tank and access every square inch of it to clean it, you're not getting anywhere close to all of the...
Poke and stick is where there is a spring tensioner that makes the contact with the terminal. Yours appear to have a screw terminal which is...
I've found after dealing with 100's of boats. Polishing fuel only gets it down to 10 microns, and doesn't get all of the algae out of the fuel,...
For slip fees simply call marinas that you're considering and ask them. You also have insurance to deal with, engine maintenance, bottom jobs,...
It's possible. But really a bandaid and not a cure. First you need to find out where the water is getting into the stringers, then fix that,...
YES, you should be concerned. The stringers are the backbone of the entire yacht. The fix is major and you would have to remove and replace and...
I use Poseidon marine blinds in Dania Beach, FL. They do excellent work at a fair price. Give them a call, and they might have a satellite...
If you're going to bigger shafts and changing the struts you could go to longer struts to give you more blade tip clearance.
Adequate yes in that kind of sea. I think they still did use poke and stick in that time frame. Actually if memory serves me right the new ones...
Is there a reason you don't want to run the boat as it was intended with the generator on? That is how the boat is designed for all of the...
If I remember correctly, DDEC control panels were usually on their own box and could switch from engine batteries or house batteries for the...
Some 68's came with a second generator, but it was a 9kw and was wired by Lazarra in the most assinine way, it would only run certain items on the...
Contact ZF support, but sounds like the control head or actual control is bad.
A lot of holes in the story. The boat without navigational lights should be at fault from the sounds of it. Both boats fleeing the scene, I...
