I've found leaving the vents open on portable tanks exacerbates any issues you might have with ethanol gas if you're forced to use that. -Chris
I purposely didn't mention brands earlier, but it happens out two fridges are NovaKool models, one an R75MT and the other an R2600. As I...
There's another way to solve that with an AC/DC fridge. We have both DC and AC breakers for each fridge. We usually leave the DC breakers off...
Yes, of course. I was speaking to OP's "what is the difference..." question. FWIW, we leave battery switches on (even though bilge pumps are...
FWIW, our 12V/110V fridges always runs on 12V. When both 12V and 110V are present, the fridges automatically choose 110V. But then when being...
Yep, didn't mean to imply this would replace first-hand info, just mentioned it in case you hadn't reviewed it. In other words, FWIW. The newest...
In case OP hasn't checked, the US Coast Pilot #3, Chapter 8 describes the VA inside passage. (see nauticalcharts.noaa.gov) -Chris
Boatels (rack storage, even dry rack storage) up the gazoo around here. Call ahead, the boat is in the water when you get there. Return, they...
Me too. The few times I've noticed the front page -- usually just after logging out from the forum -- I only see headlines about boats so far out...
By "inside" you mean NOT up the Delaware Bay, across the canal, and then down the Chesapeake? IOW, some combination of Chincoteague Bay, etc.?...
I'd guess it'd be easier/faster and maybe less expensive to buy an off-the-shelf Tiara express, compared to converting an existing flying bridge...
I use an older "Wave Magnum" version of this http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/Wave-Plus-high-power-usb-wifi-n-adapter.php also from...
What would be the purpose of such a conversion? FWIW, our boat brand was in the process (7-8 years ago) of developing some models that shared the...
Seems to be kind of an odd spec. Would have thought test data would have included a standard cruise RPM of closer to 80% of WOT (~2450), 90% of...
The angles are generally better for positioning the stern and maintaining that position within a 4-way slip when lines are crossed; same reason a...
We have stairs to the flying bridge, no ladder. That would be a deal breaker for us, now. We have a forward window, ditto deal breaker if...
We put the spliced loop on our two bow and two forward spring "home" lines at the pile, and then adjusted those for length by adding another loop...
Valve on top of the tank? Open/Closed? Or bi-directional? Or...? -Chris
It might not actually be a head problem. You may (probably) have a discharge hose leading from the holding tank to an underwater thru-hull....
If you're not locked into the Carver brand, a friend has a nice diesel Silverton 43MY that's looking for a new owner. If interested, PM me and...
