second time in three years I had an AP pump failure “Rudder movement failure” Took me a while to figure it out the first time around... turned...
And a locked thread! The sea time requirements are silly anyway... a guy could cross to BIM every week end at 20kts and not legally be allowed...
Shafts and rudders can be installed in a couple of days.... personally if a yard wanted me out I wouldn’t stay a minute longer than needed. I...
How about these ? Never heard of them before but reasonably priced https://www.tecnortham.com/seawater-desalination-system.html
There are a few spots along the ditch where fishernuts are out of control. Dozens of small boats anchored in the channel like by Lockwoods folly...
Glad you solved it and thanks for updating this thread At $100 you d think mechanics... hmmm... sorry... technicians would know how to read. :)
Interesting chart Duration is also critical and Dorian slow movement, like cat 5 Luis in 95 over St Barth’s and St Maarten, adds another layer of...
I don’t see any minimum size requirement. If boat is owned by an LLC and you are the owner you do need to include proof of ownership like articles...
Ownership shouldn’t matter. If you are the owner you need to supply copy of reg or doc. If you are not the owner the sea time form needs to be...
Did you document the time on the 17-20 footers? I know there is a minimum for sea time to count but don’t recall what it is... 16’ maybe ?

Isn’t the 453 that oddball design where you have to climb up to the FB to go from the aftvdeck to the foredeck? Impractical for line...
I didn’t know tonnage mattered on renewals, although it makes sense. Never been an issue for me so I never looked at it. Maybe they use the same...
If you have an enclosed pilothouse or flybridge and have space I would recommend a stand alone camera system so you can have it on a stand-alone...
It wasn’t a remark, it was a quote (almost) from rule 9 and i didn’t say a sailing vessel isn’t supposed to be in a channel. The rule says “a...
It really doesn’t matter since the power vessel isn’t going to be drifting fast enough for the sailboat to be unable to avoid it Technically,...
Usually once you set the pressure for one area, it doesn’t change day to day. Typically when we get to the Bahamas I set the pressure with the...
great plan!!’
If boating is important to you, nothing comes close to Biscayne Bay. Blue Green water... clean... protected... gateway to the keys... gateway to...
Hydraulic or electric? My rule is that nobody gets off the boat, nobody gets on the swim platform until the boat is tied and engines are off....
