And I hope OP doesn't think I was trying to talk her out of a stern thruster upgrade. I only meant to be waxing eloquently about her...
Dunno. High speed wouldn't be a goal for me, though. No, haven't seen that. I've only seen pics of engine mounted further aft, under the...
Wouldn't seem exceptional to me. If your boat driver is using bow and stern thrusters for sideways movement, and only using gears for fore/aft...
Maybe largely because outboards can be fully tilted out of the water, not because they're inherently great. And because there weren't as many...
Maybe not a bad concept for starting a business by funding a charter boat captain... (I'd have to think more about that)... But my first thought...
I strung a 5-meter LED "rope" around the front half of our engine room, and just tied it into the existing 12V circuit. It made such a...
Thanks. Outside storage -- apart -- could work. -Chris
Thanks for ideas. Our house is sort of gingerbread-like, mostly chopped up small-ish spaces (including the two separate attics), no long runs......
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,...
Well, "fully winterizing" and "wintering in the water" can be two different -- i.e., separable -- things. -Chris
